250 Box Challenge

The materials are slighty inconsistent because we had to move around a lot with college and covid so it took me a while to complete
Hello 40URHEAD! Congratsulations on conquering the mountain of boxes! It's no small deed.
Linework
Wow your line work is impressive. It's very clean; I can tell you used the ghosting method for all your lines. Pleased to notice you hatched lines for most of the challenge. You started adding lineweight to your boxes around the 150th, and you did it well too: it's placed properly on the silhouette of your boxes. Good work all through.
Box Construction
I'm liking what I see here too. You drew boxes of many different orientations with varied foreshortening and you have understood that all your lines have to convergence, even if its ever so slightly. (save for the few orientations were they turn into 1-2 Point Perspectives. Good
There's a few times where your line extensions are missing (94, 140) and there's this one box where you.. didn't finish it apparently? (191) But except for those few occasions you did all well with extending your lines.
Conclusion
Overall your boxes came out great, you understood the purpose of this exercise very well, the execution is fantastic....
Next Steps:
...you're ready to move on to lesson 2. Congratulations!
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.
