I had to re-read the line-weight section as you suggested and your own critique, but I really believe I am beginning to understand some of the mistakes you have helped me clearly see so that I can improve. I tried very hard on the last few to focus on improving...

i think you finally got the hang of most mistakes. You've improved a lot with these 25 boxes that I asked you to do, don't you think?

To fix your problem with the inner corner that makes some lines diverge, you should place the inner corner a bit earlier. Like this: guide

It takes some boxes to get used to it so don't be shocked if it doesn't go well on your first 5-10 boxes.

I'll mark your your submission as complete. I suggest you to keep doing boxes from time to time to keep improving even more during your warm-ups.

Good luck on your journey!

Next Steps:

You're free to start Lesson 2.

Yes! Significantly! Not like your submissions, however I can see the improvement.

Thank you again Jo :) and for the additional guide and advice.

FYI I think you have an EXCELLENT way of explaining (the visual cues were amazingly helpful) and I owe the improvement to you.

I'm glad I could help you! :)

And yeah, those diagrams/images are really useful to explain certain mistakes (most of these were created by our big community on Discord)

The one about the inner corner was game changing to me too!

Good luck on Lesson 2! It's a lot shorter than the 250 Box challenge (as expected) but you'll be introduced to many new concepts at the same time! It's really fun!

Cottonwood Arts Sketchbooks

These are my favourite sketchbooks, hands down. Move aside Moleskine, you overpriced gimmick. These sketchbooks are made by entertainment industry professionals down in Los Angeles, with concept artists in mind. They have a wide variety of sketchbooks, such as toned sketchbooks that let you work both towards light and towards dark values, as well as books where every second sheet is a semitransparent vellum.
