250 Box Challenge

Was suprisingly fun. Learned a LOT from this challenge. Was lost at the end of Lesson 1 but this challenge clarified everything for me.
Hi Kartvegas my name is trollfromhell,first of all i really like your boxes because they look clean and neat i am impressed by that anyway can you tell me what pen u use to draw ur boxes ???
first of all your lines are very confident and they are not wobbly also i think when you put line weights for your boxes u should choose one side of the boxes only just look at this https://d15v304a6xpq4b.cloudfront.net/lesson_images/980a575e.jpg
and your extending lines are good eventhough they are not converging to the vp,the more u draw boxes the more u will get better at sensing where the vp also keep in mind lines are converging in pairs as shown here https://imgur.com/KSHwTwo
and i want u to take a look at this https://i.imgur.com/8PqQLE0.png this picture shows u that the further the box is from vp the degree of each lines will be nearly 90 degree or close enough like a straight line but on the other hand the closer the box to vp the degree of the lines will become very small or less than 90 degree (i hope u get what i mean)
also if you want to try another way to tackle inner corner issue since lines coverging in pairs use this as an example https://imgur.com/a/DHlA3Jh i personally havent tried this way but if you want give your shot do it
also pay attention to the similar orientation of the boxes
this picture will show u how boxes rotate and the way our eyes see boxes from different angle https://imgur.com/Kqg6uMX
keep in mind u should draw from imagination ok,so use that as your refrence and think boxes rotate in your mind
lastly i want u to draw 30 boxes more with shallow vanishing points (the vp is far from the box)
also just like i have give you my critique can you also give agreement to my homework submission ??? https://drawabox.com/community/submission/LVP3J18 it'd be helpful to me too
thanks
Next Steps:
30 boxes more
Thank you for the clear and detailed critique TrollFromHell!!! I really appreciate it!
I tried to tackle the inner corner issue using the method you provided. It helped a bit but I need to practice it more.
Here are the 30 more boxes: https://imgur.com/a/GqldKPD
For the first pages, I tried to go the other extreme and put the VP really far off the page, then gradually come closer to the edges of the boxes.
I was messing up a lot but kind of got the hang of it towards the end.
Thanks again!!!
This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.
When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.
Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
