Just to let you know that you linked the wrong lesson, so I am going to mark you as "needs revisions" and you can just comment here with the correct link and I will give you your critique.
Next Steps:
Please link me to the correct album so that I can critique your 250 Box Challenge.
Oh whoops! Thanks for letting me know :) . Here's the proper link: https://imgur.com/gallery/JZKiRK9
Thank you for getting me the right link!
Overall you did great! Your lines are straight and confident looking. You also do a pretty good job of getting your sets of parallel lines to converge more consistently towards their shared vanishing point.
For the future, I recommend that you start trying to add some extra line weight to your boxes, as shown here. This will help further reinforce the illusion of solidity in your boxes/forms.
You said you had done the challenge before, so maybe you have seen this before. But before I send you off I want to show you this diagram just in case as it can help a lot with thinking through your convergences. So, when you are looking at your sets of lines you want to be focusing only on the lines that share a vanishing point. This does not include lines that share a corner or a plane, only lines that converge towards the same vanishing point. Now when you think of those lines, including those that have not been drawn, you can think about the angles from which they leave the vanishing point. Usually the middle lines have a small angle between them, and this angle will become negligible by the time they reach the box.
Congratulations on completing the box challenge (again) and good luck with lesson 2!
Next Steps:
Continue to lesson 2!
Thank you very much for your feedback! ^-^
These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.
Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
