Hi there, sorry for the delay 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:

• You're drawing your lines smoothly and confidently.

• When hatching you're taking the time to plan your lines and space them evenly rather than just rushing them on to the page. It's nice to see that you recognized your mistake and began freehanding them as well.

• You're trying to implement line weight. It's a useful tool but one that most people need a fair bit of mileage with before they feel comfortable. Starting to build that mileage early will help you see results sooner.

• You're experimenting with proportions, orientations, and rates of foreshortening. Experimenting is an important habit to build because it helps us develop a better understanding of the concepts we're learning. I hope you keep developing and displaying this habit in the future.

• Overall your convergences are looking more consistent than when you started. There's noticeable improvement and fewer distorted boxes being created from diverging lines.

Things you can work on:

• 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 looking pretty solid 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 as warm ups and good luck.
