Here's the originals without extension lines for reference: https://imgur.com/a/SItcB8K
I already posted this assignment previously, but now these are ordered and have both the corrected and original versions to make it easier to critique.
Hello,
Sorry for making you go through all the trouble of reuploading everything. Hopefully I can give you some valuable feedback to make up for it.
First off, congrats on completing the 250 box challenge, its definitely not an easy task
In terms of line quality, you have some really good confident lines. they are a bit wobbly sometimes but thats only natural, as you continue they will keep improving over time. However I can see that you have repeated quite a few lines. No matter how incorrect or wobbly a line is you shouldnt repeat them, they make the drawing a lot messier. its better to continue as if the line is correct. this also applies to the lines you have crossed out and scribbled over e.g. boxes 10 and 23
Your line extentions are all done correctly from what I can see. the only thing I will mention here is that sometimes you dont extend them far enough. doesnt matter much if you end up going across another box (especially since you are doing yours digitally and they can be turned off). its more important that you can see whether or not they converge.
All of your boxes have lines that converge to thats great.
Your hatchings are done well too, with confidence.
I think you may have misread the bit about lineweight, you seem to be adding them to the inside of your box when you should be adding them to the outside only. see this section from the exercise page on how you should do that.
You have a good variety of boxes with different forshortening and orientations so thats great.
I think for the most part that your inner corners are done fine, however there are a few times where I can still see you have been struggling with it. some advice I've taken from discord is to change the order you the draw the boxes in this can help by taking advantage of lines that very close.
Overall Great job, you have shown you have a good understanding of the things taught in Lesson 1 and this exercise and I think you should move on.
when doing boxes in the future for warmups, it might a be a good idea to attempt some of the [advanced box exercises too] (https://drawabox.com/lesson/250boxes/2)
A lot of my students use these. The last time I used them was when I was in high school, and at the time I felt that they dried out pretty quickly, though I may have simply been mishandling them. As with all pens, make sure you're capping them when they're not in use, and try not to apply too much pressure. You really only need to be touching the page, not mashing your pen into it.
In terms of line weight, the sizes are pretty weird. 08 corresponds to 0.5mm, which is what I recommend for the drawabox lessons, whereas 05 corresponds to 0.45mm, which is pretty close and can also be used.
