I posted the challenge with the right link this time (I'm so dumb). Anyway, I finished the 250 box challenge in mid-2023 and it wasn't a challenge that I found it difficult to do (because I already knew how to draw a little), it was just really boring.
hello, I'll be critiquing your 250 box challenge today
first of all, congratulations! you have crossed drawabox's first major hurdle, and succeeded where many have failed.
now, onto the critique:
1)you have shown tremendous improvement in you boxes
2) I see that one of the main things you seemed to struggle with was making lines subtly converge. until 195 boxes in, most of the converging lines were basically parallel
3) in the beginning you made a few errors-- you drew some boxes in one point/ two point perspective, and didn't converge some of the lines in the right direction (or was confused because of not drawing some boxes in three point perspective.) obviously, you fixed this problem, but it may have slightly hindered your progress in the beginning
4) I like how you experimented with boxes of different sizes. in the future when you're doing warm-ups, however, I'd like to challenge you to experiment a little bit more with the width of your boxes- like drawing boxes that are very thin.
overall, I think you did I good job. I'd also recommend going over the new 250 box challenge rules to get some pointers
Next Steps:
Take a break. when you're ready, move on to Lesson 2.
Thank you very much for the feedback! I will definitely take your tips into consideration :)
Rapid Viz is a book after mine own heart, and exists very much in the same spirit of the concepts that inspired Drawabox. It's all about getting your ideas down on the page, doing so quickly and clearly, so as to communicate them to others. These skills are not only critical in design, but also in the myriad of technical and STEM fields that can really benefit from having someone who can facilitate getting one person's idea across to another.
Where Drawabox focuses on developing underlying spatial thinking skills to help facilitate that kind of communication, Rapid Viz's quick and dirty approach can help students loosen up and really move past the irrelevant matters of being "perfect" or "correct", and focus instead on getting your ideas from your brain, onto the page, and into someone else's brain as efficiently as possible.
