Hello, I have noticed the amount of uncommented responses in this lesson. I myself have just submitted the 250 box challenge and I thought I would respond to as many of these as possible to the best of my ability.
Your boxes look really good!! Some easy things you can improve on though...
-
you lines are a little wobbly, try doing more ghosting and use your shoulder to do the strokes
-
sometimes you overtrace your line (you draw the same line more than once)- this might be due to the previous point I made, don't try to make the lines perfect by trying to mask the mistakes you made
Everything else looks totally fine (i would even say great) to me, the lines aren't overshot and the vanishing point are off the page. The lines coming of the boxes aren't too bad either, most of the time they merge to the (unseeable) vanishing point pretty well. :)
Good luck during the next lessons
Next Steps:
no need for extra work! You are perfectly fine to move onto lesson 2.

Hello A7GATKI,
Thank you very much for your review. I will keep in mind your suggestions.
Good luck with the next lessons for you too!
The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
PureRef
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.
