250 Box Challenge - Inconsistent Issues

10:10 PM, Sunday January 8th 2023

I'm working on the 250 box challenge and one thing which I am struggling to see consistent issues, things are wrong, but not wrong in ways I can identify as similar, I feel like I don't know enough to know what I'm doing wrong maybe?, admittedly I'm only 20 boxes in so maybe too soon to actually see such patterns.

20 boxes is still very early on in the challenge and it should start to click further on. Patterns should emerge as you get further into the challenge and the way you'll see the boxes will change greatly. Mistakes will become more obvious. I will echo PandaCatLad, as long as you understand the objectives you're shooting for then you should be alright.

I'd be happy to look at a few of your boxes, if you'd like some feedback.

It started to make a little bit more sense to me after the 100th box or so, as long as all the lines converge on a 3- point perspective kind of way you're doing it right

What always helps is to go back to the videos and read the material again. I'm on box 185 now and experience that boxes will get better and worse again and then better again. Just keep going and look forward to that moment when you'll groe more confident with practice.

I also hope that this picture can help you as well :)

When it comes to technical drawing, there's no one better than Scott Robertson. I regularly use this book as a reference when eyeballing my perspective just won't cut it anymore. Need to figure out exactly how to rotate an object in 3D space? How to project a shape in perspective? Look no further.
