Hi there, I'll be handling your box challenge critique.

Congratulations on completing the box challenge, it's definitely a lot more work than most people expect. Not only does it help deepen your understanding of important concepts but it shows your desire to learn as well. Be proud of what you've accomplished and that desire you've shown. That being said I'll try to keep this critique fairly brief so you can get working on the next steps as soon as possible.

Things you did well

• Your line quality has improved a lot by the end of the challenge, there's still the occasional wobble but your lines overall are looking more confidently drawn and smooth.

• You're trying to keep your hatching lines evenly spaced which shows you're not rushing which is good and helps keep your boxes tidy.

• Line weight isn't a requirement of the challenge but most people need some mileage with it before they feel comfortable applying it. Getting an early start like you're doing here is a good way to see better results sooner.

• You're doing a great job of experimenting with orientations, proportions and rates of foreshortening. Experimenting is an important habit to build because it helps us form a more well rounded understanding of the concepts we're tackling. I hope you continue to nurture and demonstrate this habit in your future work as well.

• Overall your convergences are becoming more and more consistent with fewer distorted boxes being created from the results of diverging lines.

Things you can work on:

• Some of your lines are still wobbly (especially while hatching), this shows that you're hesitating and worried more about accuracy than confidence. Remember confidence is our first priority and accuracy will improve with mileage.

• There are times when your lines converge in pairs or you attempt to keep your lines a bit too parallel which results in them diverging. This is an example of lines converging in pairs, and this shows the relation between each line in a set and their respective vanishing point. The inner pair of lines will be quite similar unless the box gets quite long and the outer pair can vary a lot depending on the location of the vanishing point. Move it further away and the lines become closer to parallel while moving it closer increases the rate of foreshortening.

The key things we want to remember from this exercise are that our lines should always converge as a set not in pairs, never diverge from the vanishing point and due to perspective they won't be completely parallel.

Overall while you did make a few mistakes your boxes are improving so far and with more mileage you'll continue to become more consistent. That being said I'll be marking your submission as complete and moving you on to lesson 2.

Keep practicing previous exercises and boxes as warm ups, and good luck.
