Hello I’ll be taking a look at your box challenge.

-Starting by your linework you are doing pretty well, and you improved as you went through the challenge. You are using the ghosting method to good effect, this helps your boxes to look more believable and solid.

That said, I can notice a few instances where you tried to correct lines that were a bit off, this is a habit that you want to get rid of, as it reinforces the idea that our drawings are just a set of lines instead of actual objects.

-I like to see that you have used lineweight, there is a clear improvement as you advanced through the challenge. During the first half of your set you showed a tendency to overdo it, keep in mind that we only have to add one superimposed line to keep it subtle. If we add more we risk turning our drawings into mere graphic shapes.

-Good job on the hatching lines, it is good that you stopped using the ruler. Overall it is looking very tidy instead of rushed, I can notice that in some cases you overshoot by a few millimeters, this is a subtle point but you should aim to correct this. As you keep practicing you will eventually get better at this.

-You also did a good job when extending those lines, during your first attempts you got them wrong but you corrected it. I think you have a tendency to draw boxes with dramatic foreshortening, and keep the vanishing points inside the page, so make sure that you experiment with more shallow rates of foreshortening in the future.

-I think that you could also benefit from trying different orientations for your boxes, they look more or less consistent, with their inner corners close to each other. If you have trouble visualizing or imagining them, take a look at this image.

Experimenting is an important habit to build when learning any new skill, it helps form a more well rounded understanding. I hope you'll continue to display and nurture this habit in the future.

-You didn’t have any trouble with parallel lines, all o your sets converge, what you should keep an eye out for is lines converging in pairs as shown here, the more you practice the better you will get at this and eventually your lines will converge in sets rather than pairs..

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.

Congratulations upon completing this challenge, while there are a few mistakes they are minor ones, so take your well deserved rest and then move on to lesson 2.

Hi! I would say that my biggest comment would be your strokes/lines. A lot of them feel as if you went over them twice or tried to correct them midway through. I could be mistaken however try and commit to your line in one clean motion and if it's not correct then try and make it work. It's okay if one box fails just keep trying with the next one. That confidence will make your draftsmanship much better down the road. Compare your first few boxes with the last few, it's definitely improved. Good work!
