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 did well:

• By the end of the challenge your lines are looking much more confident and tidily drawn.

• Your hatching lines are evenly space and while there's the occasional wobble you're keeping them mostly confident. Just remember that confidence is our top priority, if you need to overshoot your lines that's fine as accuracy will improve with mileage.

• It looks like you were trying to implement line weight in the beginning and stopped after a certain point. It's not a requirement of the challenge so I'm glad you at least tried to use it. It takes a fair bit of mileage to become comfortable but it is an incredibly helpful tool once you can control it. I hope you'll practice utilizing it more in the future.

• It's great to see you're experimenting with proportions, orientations and rates of foreshortening. Experimenting is an important habit as it helps us understand new concepts. I hope you'll continue to nurture this habit in the future.

• Your convergences have improved and become more consistent with fewer distorted boxes being created from drawing diverging lines.

Things you can work on:

• 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 your work is looking pretty solid so far with 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.
