250 Box Challenge

Forgive the images that are incorrectly rotated. I tried to fix it manually but gave up after spending 30 minutes.
Hey Bowtiebuck, I'm here to critique your assignment.
Lineweight: I didn't notice any extra lineweight on the silhouette of your boxes. As far as it isn't compulsory it helps to show the form in 3D space and is adviced for warmups going forward.
Extended lines and foreshortening:
You extended all lines correctly throughout the exercise and I like how you experimented with foreshortening both dramatic and the normal. However for a few boxes I noticed some wrong perspectives like those of boxes 14 and 62, to be on a safe side it's advised to draw the boxes in three point perspective only and not let vertical lines be completely perpendicular to the horizon line. I'm not going to request revisions for this as I feel it's something warmups can fix, only keep in mind that your Y's should have three angles all greater than 90°s.
Hatching:
You didn't hatch any of the boxes and again as much as it is not compulsory it's also advised to show the side facing the viewer.
I think that's all to be said only review the lesson notes and include these in your warmups. I think you've grasped the basics of three point perspective so I'm marking this lesson as complete
Next Steps:
Move on to lesson 2
Right from when students hit the 50% rule early on in Lesson 0, they ask the same question - "What am I supposed to draw?"
It's not magic. We're made to think that when someone just whips off interesting things to draw, that they're gifted in a way that we are not. The problem isn't that we don't have ideas - it's that the ideas we have are so vague, they feel like nothing at all. In this course, we're going to look at how we can explore, pursue, and develop those fuzzy notions into something more concrete.
