My pass at the 250 box challenge. Any notes on what to improve on in the future are much appreciated
Thanks!
Congratulations on completing the 250 Box Challenge!
You did a pretty good job on the challenge overall. You kept your lines straight and fairly consistent throughout the challenge. Your additional line weight improved a good bit by the end as well. You have a good variety of boxes drawn and by the end you do a better job of getting your sets of parallel lines to converge more consistently towards their shared vanishing points.
While your convergences do improve overall I think this diagram will help you further develop that skill as you continue through Drawabox. 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. This can serve as a useful hint.
Congrats again and good luck with lesson 2!

Continue to lesson 2!
Good notes and a good diagram to use as a guide. Thanks so much for the help!
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.
