Finally Completed the 250 boxes challenge. Had fun with it though. Ran into paper problems. So drew in anything I could get my hands on. Sorry for that.

First of all congrats for completing the daunting challenge.

I will mark it as complete although there is room for improvement. In the starting the perspective is bit flat which comes off better in the later boxes. Extend your lines more to check if the perspective is right.

1st of you can draw some boxes bigger filling only 4-5 boxes per page and some only one box per page.

2nd give more line weight to the outside form.

3rd draw more from the shoulder with confident strokes as the lines are not coming as straight. Practice the straight lines drawing with shoulders.

4th practice more ghosting before putting mark down.

5th put more thought into the perspective of the box, thinking about how it looks before putting the mark down.

Next Steps:

Move onto lesson 2 and practice more big boxes. Practice long lines and ghosting.

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

This is a remarkable little pen. Technically speaking, any brush pen of reasonable quality will do, but I'm especially fond of this one. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.

Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.
