250 Box Challenge

Thanks for the critique
Hi Yash,
On your first few pages, you had lines that were looking parallel. That's an accomplishment in it's own right, but the assignment emphasizes the converging aspect of planes. Bring your vanishing points closer together to get converging lines.
Avoid the flat rectangle kind of boxes as well. Push out the one side so you get a beefier box. In some boxes, you're extending the lines away from their convergence. Be aware of this as you extend the lines. When I did this challenge, my solution for tricky boxes was to line up my ruler with one line, then use my pen for another to verify I'm doing the convergence side.
Your hatching is very nice and tidy. When your lines do converge, they're close and calculated well. Good job!
Not sure what's going on with the upload, but I don't count 250 boxes. Did you forget to upload some pages? Or is this an in-progress post instead?
Quick note, if you can. Make the line extensions multiple colors. Sort of like 3D software, with red, green, and blue for specific axes. This helped me separate the planes upon review for my own assignment. No big deal though if it's not doable.
Next Steps:
Please upload remainder of boxes.
Hi RYANEXNER,
thanks a lot for the critique , sorry but there were some errors due to which many pages got deleted from the post ......so this is my complete assingment.

Cool, thanks! I'm very sorry for such a late reply. I wished I logged onto Drawabox sooner to give you feedback promptly. Anyways, we're here now!
When you're extending lines, you generally go in the proper direction. However, the vertical axis of a box sometimes trips you up, and you extend in the diverging direction. A majority of boxes appear to be more 2 and 1 point perspective rather than 3. Bring those vanishing points closer in across the board.
Your boxes' contour line weight is done well.
Your lines do have a slight wobble to some. It's within reason. And that will likely improve if you stick with the drawing drills from lesson 1.
Your boxes do feel solid and as though you are respecting the construction of a 3D form on paper.
Overall, you did solid work. I believe you have room to grow, and I think moving on to new challenges should help you do just that.
Next Steps:
Begin the next lesson.
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.
