Hi, Feldspar! Congrats on finishing 250 box challenge!

You shown great improvement:

  • you lines became much more confident and precise;

  • boxes grew in size, got more variety in size, proportion and orientation;

  • you started from drawing boxes in drastic perspective only but added will shallow one too.

I see you didn't use hatching lines or lineweight which is acceptable for this challenge but I would recommend doing them in warm ups as it's both additional practice (more lines to draw!) and necessary thing in future lessons to separate forms from each other, for example in Form Intersection exercise in Lesson 2.

Your back corner is still a little off which is normal at it's a result of small mistakes accumulated during planning but it will for sure become better with practice.

Also I would recommend to make extending lines at least twice as long as the edges they extend.

Overall it looks like you got what the 250 boxes is about so good luck with Lesson 2!

Next Steps:

Continue with lesson 2.

Thanks for taking your time and reviewing my work! I consider your main points about my boxes and will work through them with my warmups. Hope you have a great day!

I'm glad I could help!

It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
Staedtler Pigment Liners

These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.

Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
