Hello!

Seeing these extra 20 boxes, you gave dramatic foreshortening a shot and to the best of your ability. I think that while you do need some more practice, you got the framework down to improve on it further in your warm-ups. I can suggest to draw boxes that are more dramatic than the ones here even; make them converge really fast. But aside from that, I feel you are good to move on to lesson two. Don't forget to revisit them in your warm-ups and read the image showcasing the relationship between lines. Congratulations Phobic, you have completed the 250-box challenge, a big milestone on your Draw A Box journey. I will be marking you submission as complete. Good luck and have a great day!

Next Steps:

Onwards to lesson 2.

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

This is a remarkable little pen. I'm especially fond of this one for sketching and playing around with, and it's what I used for the notorious "Mr. Monkey Business" video from Lesson 0. 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.

I would not recommend this for Drawabox - we use brush pens for filling in shadow shapes, and you do not need a pen this fancy for that. If you do purchase it, save it for drawing outside of the course.
