250 Box Challenge
3:10 PM, Wednesday May 12th 2021
Hello
Here are my 250 boxes.
I made quite a lot of notes while working that might be worth mentioning, however I’ve procrastinated organizing them for almost two months now, so I’m just going to make this post really quick to finally get it done. :’D
-Especially at the beginning I was frustrated. I thought I was doing something wrong because I kept making the same mistakes over and over and I wasn’t sure how to fix them. So I drew lots of similar boxes.
-I feel like my line quality became a bit better towards the end, although I still struggle with lineweight. Around the 80th box I suddenly started to “feel” the 3D space differently. I think my spatial thinking got a bit better, because with the last boxes it had become slightly more intuitive compared to the beginning. I could focus more on parallel planes, not only parallel lines.
-I gave up on shading the boxes early on because having more lines only seemed to confuse my brain. I’m not sure if this was a good decision, perhaps with practice I’d get used to it. After all, at the beginning it was difficult to concentrate on the extended lines where they overlapped but I feel like I got a bit better at it over time.
Feedback is greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
