It took nearly a month but I finally did it.

Thanks to the guys at Discord server and Lesson 1 mentor Joaosiilva for guiding me towards this Challenge.

I have learned many things by doing this challenge. Firstly, Perfecting your box is not the main fact here. Its all about understanding the 3D space and Vanishing Points of a box.

If you checkout My 1st page and then the Last page you will see improvement in line quality.

Even in my 250th Box I made a mistake but I learned to correct it by myself.

Observation is the most important thing required to be an artist. And I think I am getting it right.

It will be helpful if someone critique my work. I am excited for the next Lessons and Challenges.

Thanks In Advance.

Solid improvement and focus! Sometimes the top plane diverges, ex 9, 10, 246, so I suggest you focus on those and rotate the page to see if that helps identify the vp's. I liked your 2 vp perspective boxes, ex 234. Occassionally the back corner has planes that have diverging lines, ex 224. I encourage you to visualize those back planes and rotate the page to ensure they make sense.

I think you're ready to move on to lesson 2 and I'm going to make this complete. I'm in your cohort too, so I could be wrong. If you're able to take a look at my 250 box submission(https://drawabox.com/community/submission/ZZAUHGNH), I would appreciate it!

Also love your hatching! I can tell you spent time to get those lines solid.

Notes:

9 diverge

234 dope (2vp perspective)

224 some times back corner diverges. Think about the planes to help

Show improvement and focus!

The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. 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.

Ellipse Master Template

This recommendation is really just for those of you who've reached lesson 6 and onwards.

I haven't found the actual brand you buy to matter much, so you may want to shop around. This one is a "master" template, which will give you a broad range of ellipse degrees and sizes (this one ranges between 0.25 inches and 1.5 inches), and is a good place to start. You may end up finding that this range limits the kinds of ellipses you draw, forcing you to work within those bounds, but it may still be worth it as full sets of ellipse guides can run you quite a bit more, simply due to the sizes and degrees that need to be covered.

No matter which brand of ellipse guide you decide to pick up, make sure they have little markings for the minor axes.
