250 Box Challenge
9:10 PM, Monday March 30th 2020
Welp, after over a month of tedious and painful work, I have finally drawn 250 of these things.
This was hard and annoying and I didn't like doing it. It also isn't entirely clear whether or not I actually got any better at drawing boxes. I was able to identify the errors I was making — but it was a struggle to determine where those errors were coming from in my construction process, and an even greater struggle to identify consistent errors throughout all of my boxes. The later boxes do look a bit better than the earlier ones as a whole, but I can still find really bad and sort of okay ones in both places.
However.
I think I have a pretty solid understanding of perspective now, and that's not something that I had before I started this challenge. I've noticed myself using the ideas of perspective in my actual drawings to help me determine the placement of objects, which resulted in cleaner, more organic composition. So while this challenge was terrible and I didn't look forward to plowing through it at any point in the process, it admittedly helped a lot.
