Hi, Ducky. Good job finishing this hard challenge. Overall your work here is pretty good. You mixed a good amount of shallow and dynamic perspective boxes, while keeping their perspective very acceptable. It clear by the many placed dots and you were conscious about looking for the right place to draw each line.

What concerns me the most here is your line work. You draw multiple times over the same lines and this happens throughout the whole exercise. While it is encouraged that students increase the lightweight of their boxes silhouette, this should be done by superimposing the outer lines only and with a very subtle stroke. One of the points of using ink it to plan each line very carefully before committing to them and while it's evident you made an effort to plan them, in some cases you also seem to try to correct your mistakes. Avoid doing this as the incorrect line will still be there. Learn to accept the result and, keeping your mistakes in mind, do better on the next box.

You should feel free to start lesson 2. Good luck.

Next Steps:

Lesson 2.

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.
