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 one of my favourite books. It's a fantasy-comedy romp, and the world that J. Zachary Pike has created honestly takes my breath away. There are laughs at every turn, but the story is not without its heart wrenching moments - some for which I have yet to fully forgive the author.
If you're at all curious about the kinds of nonsense I read, or just need something new to sink your teeth into, this is one I can highly recommend. On top of that, being self-published by an indie author, it's the kind of thing where your individual support can go a long way.
P.S: The audiobook, with narration from Doug Tisdale, is especially good, and elevates the story in ways I can't rightly describe.
