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?

Hello! This looks really good, you're getting it now. No the edges don't have to be parallel, they still have to converge but only slightly, which means the boxes you've drawn are fine. You can now move on to lthe next lesson.

Next Steps:

Move onto lesson 2

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) :).

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.
