Hi BLVD, Congratulations on finishing the 250 box challenge. I'll be giving you feedback. Pointing out mistakes you've made as well as thing you did good.
-
Your lineworks looks very confident. The lines are straight and don't over or undershoot their mark and the added line thickness stays on the line. Hatching also looks very consistent.
-
Most of your boxes have a similar orientation where the viewer looks straight on the front corner. It would be good practice to experiment with this. Look at this diagram of different possible orientations.
-
Another tip, the horizontal parts of the y-line will always converge to vanishing points that can be connected to each other by a line perpendicular to the vertical part of the y-line. Boxes 227, 228, 233, 235 and 245 among others don't follow this principle and look a little skewed as a result. If you look at this diagram, the center vertical line of the box will always be perpendicular to the local horizon line of the box.
Overall very nice work. Good luck with lesson 2
Next Steps:
- Continue with lesson 2

Wescott Grid Ruler
Every now and then I'll get someone asking me about which ruler I use in my videos. It's this Wescott grid ruler that I picked up ages ago. While having a transparent grid is useful for figuring out spacing and perpendicularity, it ultimately not something that you can't achieve with any old ruler (or a piece of paper you've folded into a hard edge). Might require a little more attention, a little more focus, but you don't need a fancy tool for this.
But hey, if you want one, who am I to stop you?
