250 Box Challenge - Album on Imgur

I've finally finished the 250 Box Challenge! It took me a few months, and during that time I got burnt out a couple of times. Because of this, the box numbers reset back to 1 twice over the course of 250 boxes. Otherwise, they're in chronological order. Currently three pages are missing as well, one because I lost it and two because Imgur for some reason didn't want to upload them; I'll try reuploading them soon.

The most recent (and last) group of boxes is numbers 1-138, so in your feedback please focus on these! They're the ones that are still recent.

Some of the things I was having problems with were: hatching and superimposing lines for the weighted outline, although I think they improved by the end of the challenge.

I only count 234 boxes. You need to finish or upload the remaining 16. Please also renumber the boxes from first to last chronologically so that reviewers don't have to a) manually count them all again to make sure you've finished the assignment and b) can tell which boxes came earlier and which came later. Don't worry so much about the hatching and lineweights. Yes, you should be doing it, but the real focus here is on your construction and use of perspective.

As I said in the submission, a couple pages are missing because Imgur didn't upload them for some reason and is still giving me errors when I try to add them to the post. I have done the full 250.

The boxes are sorted chronologically, although I'm sorry that the box numbering resets a couple times but that's because I thought at the time I had to restart the challenge due to not doing it for a while. I don't really want to go back, change the numbers, and rescan all the pages because this would take a really long time.

Thanks for the response!

My apologies, it seems like the order on Imgur is more severely messed up than I thought it was. I'm going to reupload everything.

It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
PureRef

PureRef

This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.

When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.

Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
