Hi there, I'll be handling your box challenge critique.

In the future if you could limit yourself to one page per picture it'd be appreciated. The pages being so far away makes it harder to observe any smaller details (line wobbling, line weight etc.).

Congratulations on completing the box challenge, it's definitely a lot more work than most people expect. Not only does it help deepen your understanding of important concepts but it shows your desire to learn as well. Be proud of what you've accomplished and that desire you've shown. That being said I'll try to keep this critique fairly brief so you can get working on the next steps as soon as possible.

Things you did well:

• You're doing a good job of drawing the lines constructing your boxes smoothly and confidently.

• You're doing a great job of experimenting with orientations, and rates of foreshortening. Experimenting is an important habit to build when learning any new skill, it helps form a more well rounded understanding. I hope you'll continue to display and nurture this habit in the future.

Things you can work on:

• They're not a requirement of the challenge but I recommend practicing applying hatching and line weight in your future work. It's a useful tool to learn and the only way to improve is to practice.

• I'd like you to experiment with proportions more. Currently you're keeping your boxes fairly similarly shaped. Try mixing in some longer/thinner/wider boxes to see how your lines behave in different scenarios.

• There are times when your lines converge in pairs or you attempt to keep your lines a bit too parallel which results in them diverging. This is an example of lines converging in pairs, and this shows the relation between each line in a set and their respective vanishing point. The inner pair of lines will be quite similar unless the box gets quite long and the outer pair can vary a lot depending on the location of the vanishing point. Move it further away and the lines become closer to parallel while moving it closer increases the rate of foreshortening.

The key things we want to remember from this exercise are that our lines should always converge as a set not in pairs, never diverge from the vanishing point and due to perspective they won't be completely parallel.

I'll also quickly address that you are correct, the inner rear line of your boxes will usually be a bit off because it reflects every other mistake created up to that point. Just remember that perfection isn't the goal, increasing our understanding of 3D space is and you're doing a good job of that so far.

Overall while you did make a few mistakes your boxes are improving so far and with more mileage you'll continue to become more consistent. That being said I'll be marking your submission as complete and moving you on to lesson 2.

Keep practicing previous exercises and boxes as warm ups, and good luck
