Hello and congrats on finishing the 250 box challenge! I know how difficult the challenge can be so it's great that you had the perseverance to finish.
Onto the critique:
Hatching: It's not a requirement to hatch one face of your boxes, but it is recommended. Try to hatch more in the future.
Convergences: A lot of your boxes have very steep convergences as opposed to shallow ones. It's good that your practicing different box orientations but only around 1/3 of your convergences should be that steep. Ideally most vanishing points should lie far away from the page. For what it's worth, a lot of your boxes, especially near the end , have near perfect convergences.
Lineweight: Lineweight should only be applied to the outline of the box, not to the initial Y shape.
That's all for now, I recommend practicing some more before moving on, keeping what I said in mind.
Next Steps:
Do 4 more pages of boxes all with far off vanishing points/shallow convergences. Try to incorporate hatching if you can.
I've made the boxes. What do you think? https://imgur.com/a/jQAn2pi
Hello, sorry for the delay in reply. I've looked over your boxes and I think you might be confused by what I mean when I say "shallow convergences" vs dramatic. Here are two diagrams representing what I mean: 1 and 2. A lot of your boxes are still very dramatic. Not to repeat myself, but try to envision the vanishing point off the page, and away from the edges of the page.
Next batch of boxes :). Focused more on the shallow convergence and less on the line weight and hashing.
Does their edges have to be parallel?
I understand now, will give it a go again. Thank you for taking a look again and for the feedback. Shallow convergence = out of page vanishing points(need to not be afraid that they will converge even if i can't see them) :).
This is a remarkable little pen. Technically speaking, any brush pen of reasonable quality will do, but I'm especially fond of this one. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.
Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.
