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

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've done well:

• Your lines are drawn smoothly and confidently.

• This carries over to your hatching lines as well which are neatly spaced rather than rushed as an afterthought.

• You're doing a good job of experimenting with proportions, orientations and rates of foreshortening. Experimenting is a great habit to build as it allows you to develop a better understanding of new concepts, I hope you'll continue to nurture and display this habit in the future as well.

• Overall your convergences are looking more consistent with fewer cases of boxes becoming distorted from diverging lines.

Things you can work on:

• You don't appear to be using much line weight, while not a requirement of the challenge I'd suggest trying to experiment with it more. It's a useful tool and often requires a fair bit of mileage before the user feels comfortable with it.

• You tend to stick to similar rates of foreshortening as you move through the challenge, be sure to experiment more so you don't create holes in your skill set.

• 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.

Overall while you did make some mistakes you have shown quite a bit of noticeable improvement and with more mileage you'll continue this trend and become more consistent. I'll be marking your submission as complete and moving you on to lesson 2.

Keep practicing previous exercises as warm ups and good luck.
