Hi KittensMittens,
I've checked your submission,
Okay, it looks like you got what this challenge is about, as you progress, your boxes get bigger and more confident and you are hitting more parallels. However, there is some things I wanna talk about.
First, I see that you are struggling a bit with the back corner, welcome to the club:

Here is a little help! Try it out whenever you are about to do some warm up boxes.
Second, I see that you started applying line weight at some point, which is good, though I wanted to remind you that everything that we mark on the page is to comunicate something to the viewer. Take this into account whenever you learn something new from this course.
Some not-that-important things to take into account, Remember to hatch one of 3 faces facing the viewer not the back ones, it makes it really confusing. In some cases you stretch the parallels in the direction of the viewer, it's okay to get confused, if so, try to take a little tiny break and see what you are working on with fresh new eyes.
Last, but not least, here is some help for convergence:
Most of the times you are doing it good, but it could have some more work!
I'm gonna mark this challenge as completed! Keep it up.
Next Steps:
Move on to lesson 2!
Thank you for the feedback!
For the line weight: I applied it to some boxes but hardly any, and marked the pages where I did so. I'm not confident in line weight and that's why I stopped adding it on. I've been doing that for warmups tho.
For the wrong convergence lines/front plane: I did so in the beginning for a few of the boxes because I started from the initial Y as the convergence starting point for all of them. Do you have any examples for that mistake past box 100 or so?
Also more for convergence lines: I marked ones that I considered wrong with a cross-out (except for a handful of early boxes that were diverging towards the viewer for whatever reason). Here also, do you have any examples from the later boxes?
Hi, regarding the convergence issue, it's not that big of a deal, but if you wanna check an example you have the 250th box as one.
This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.
When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.
Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
