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

Congratulations on completing the box challenge, it's definitely a lot more work than most people expect. Not only does it 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. These are some really well done boxes so I'll try to keep this critique brief so you can get working on the next steps as soon as possible.

Things you did well:

• Your line work, line weight and hatching are all showing mindful planning and confidence, they're tidy and well done overall.

• You're drawing large and making good use of your page, this will help you see your mistakes more clearly and help you become comfortable using your shoulder.

• You experimented with proportions, orientations and rates of foreshortening. This experimentation will help deepen your understanding of concepts being introduced and is definitely a good habit to build, keep it up.

• In terms of convergences you've become more consistent overall and while you weren't doing a poor job to begin with you've definitely improved by the end of the challenge.

Things to work on:

• Room to experiment with proportions a bit more, try some longer skinny boxes etc.

• There are a few spots where your lines converge in pairs but it's not to the point that I assume it's a mistake in understanding and just one due to the fact that humans aren't perfect and sometimes things won't always line up correctly. I have no doubt you'll improve and that you've come to understand this intuitively through the challenge but I'll show you this example in case it helps solidify anything you may not completely understand. It shows how each line in a set relates to one another and their respective vanishing point. You'll notice that unless the box is quite long the inner pair of lines will remain fairly similar while the outer pair can vary a lot depending on the position of the vanishing point. The closer the vanishing point the more extreme the rate of foreshortening, while the further the point the closer to parallel the lines will become.

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.

Overall this was a great submission and I have no doubt you'll continue to improve. I'll be marking your submission complete and moving you on to the next lesson, keep practicing previous exercises as warm ups and good luck!
