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

• Your lines are looking smooth and confidently drawn.

• When hatching you're keeping your lines evenly spaced which shows you're taking the time to plan your lines rather than just rsuhing them on to the page.

• It's good to see that you're trying to apply line weight. It's not a requirement of the challenge but most people need some mileage with it before they feel comfortable applying it. Getting an early start like this is a good way to see better results sooner.

• Good work experimenting with orientations, proportions and rates of foreshortening. There is room for you to experiment with rates of foreshortening a bit more but this is a good start. Experimenting is an important habit to build when learning any skill, it helps us form a more well rounded understanding of the concepts we're trying to learn rather than just improving at one specific method.

• Overall your convergences are becoming more consistent and you stopped extending your lines in the wrong direction which is great to see.

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 a few mistakes your boxes are improving so far and with more mileage you'll continue to become more consistent. That being said I'll be marking your submission as complete and moving you on to lesson 2.

Keep practicing previous exercises and boxes as warm ups, and good luck.
