Hi everyone!

After 4 months of not-at-all-grinding-but-rather-a-sustainable-art-schedule I have managed to finish 250 box challenge.

It took me some time, sure, but I am glad I saw it through.

There were, of course, some bumps on the road. Around box 61 I have figured out that I have been doing the exercise wrong, trying to make lines parallel, and not thinking about convergence. This was strange for me, because I really thought I understood everything perfectly! I have read the instructions carefully, but apparently not everything sank in. Much welcome humility lesson included in this challenge!

After this „tiny” error, I have decided to continue anyway with the challenge and not redo the 60 boxes, because I was afraid I would get discouraged by restarting the challenge and in consequence give it up. I also thought that it is in line with Drawabox's advice „not to grind and redo exercices”.

Instead, I have reread all the box lessons content thoroughly, went through all my L1 exercises and figured out where I was wrong. Some posts on reddit had shown that I was not the only one missing the point. Watching ScyllaStew recordings and Mithrilda's content on YouTube have also shown me where I was going wrong and how can I do better with my sweet little boxes. After that much needed memory refreshment I went back to the challenge and just said to myself: let's try to do it better box after box.

Another thing that I have noticed further down the road is that my warmups are quite repetitive. I kept doing superimposed lines and planes, not really using any of the ellipsis ones. It was partially laziness, partially just bad habit. I will definitely do better next time, especially reading kind and constructive feedback after L1.

I have also uploaded my warmups for L1, in case anyone's interested.

Box 250 is still far from perfect and there are some rotations that are trickier for me than others, but hopefully it's enough to keep going with Drawabox.

Critique is very much welcome. Thanks in advance for your time.

Good luck to you Drawaboxers out there!
