Hi, I’m ZNorb and I’m going to do the 250 box challenge ciritique:
**Things you can work on:
-Some of your boxes (ex: 2,5,57,84,127,229,232,250) converge in pairs as shown in this image: https://i.imgur.com/KSHwTwo.png
It might help if you think of the relation of the lines as a set of angles of the shape in respective to the vanishing points that the box has. Here’s an example of what I’m saying: https://imgur.com/8PqQLE0
-Another mistake I see is that there are lines that diverge rather than converge (e.g.: 7,85,123,125,157,249), and there are boxes that converge in parallel (e.g.: 77, 109). The lines of the boxes should be touched at the vanishing point, here’s an example of what I’m trying to say about the divergence: https://imgur.com/mWLlnYl
-Although the lineweight is not a requirement of the challenge, it's a recommendation that you also work on it, and in future lessons they also talk about the lineweight ( https://imgur.com/OHvr7Mb https:///d15v304a6xpq4b.cloudfront.net/lesson_images/980a575e.jpg https://drawabox.com/lesson/250boxes/1/lineweight )
*-The key things we want to remember from this exercise is that the lines should converge in a set and not in pairs, neither diverge from the vanishing point nor make the box completely parallel
**Good things I’ve seen:
-I can see that the lines are made with confidence, lines doesn't have chicken scratching or arching
-You did not forget to make the hatching lines
-You did a good job doing a lot of different perspectives making boxes in many different ways. Experimenting is a very important habit that helps a lot when you want to learn a new skill, keep experimenting!
-Your boxes are getting a lot better and in your last half of boxes the divergences/parallel lines happen much less often
I will mark this lesson as complete, keep doing the boxes and the exercises from the previous lesson as a warmup
Good luck with lesson 2

Lesson 2
The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw
Right from when students hit the 50% rule early on in Lesson 0, they ask the same question - "What am I supposed to draw?"
It's not magic. We're made to think that when someone just whips off interesting things to draw, that they're gifted in a way that we are not. The problem isn't that we don't have ideas - it's that the ideas we have are so vague, they feel like nothing at all. In this course, we're going to look at how we can explore, pursue, and develop those fuzzy notions into something more concrete.
