Hi there. I'll be handling your box challenge critique.

Not only does the challenge help deepen your understanding of important concepts but it shows your desire to learn as well. Be proud of what you've accomplished and that desire you've shown. That being said I'll try to keep this critique fairly brief so you can get working on the next steps as soon as possible.

Things you did well

• You're doing a good job of experimenting with orientations, proportions and rates of foreshortening. Experimenting is an important habit to build and helps us achieve a better understanding of new concepts. I hope you continue to develop and display this habit in your future work as well.

• Overall your convergences are looking more consistent than when you started which shows your understanding of 3D space is coming along nicely.

Things you can work on:

• Your lines do have some noticeable wobbling occurring which is a sign that you're not drawing as confidentl as you could be. Seeing as how you're not overshooting or undershooting your lines often if I were to guess you're hesitation is caused by a focus on remaining accurate. While it can be tricky to silence your inner critique remember that drawing confidently is our top priority and your accuracy will improve with mileage.

• I recommend trying to apply hatching lines and line weight as well. They're incredibly helpful tools but most people require a bit of mileage before they feel comfortable applying them. The sooner you begin to practice with them the sooner you'll see results.

• There are times when your lines converge in pairs or you attempt to keep your lines a bit too parallel which results in them diverging. This is an example of lines converging in pairs, and this shows the relation between each line in a set and their respective vanishing point. The inner pair of lines will be quite similar unless the box gets quite long and the outer pair can vary a lot depending on the location of the vanishing point. Move it further away and the lines become closer to parallel while moving it closer increases the rate of foreshortening.

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.

I won't be moving you on to the next lesson just yet, each lesson builds off concepts in the previous course material so if you move forward with un-addressed issues you end up just creating further issues on top of them.

I'd like you to draw 20 more boxes please. Your top priority is improving your line confidence but also use this chance to try applying line weight and hatching. Experimenting more with your rates of foreshortening is a good idea as well and will help you in the long run.

Once you've completed your boxes reply to this critique with a link to them, I'll address anything that needs to be worked on and once you've shown you're ready I'll move you on to the next lesson.

I know you can do this and look forward to seeing your work.
