Great job, this is a solid improvement and just by not redrawing lines your work is looking much more confident overall. With the first page you did here of the 250 box challenge all of these boxes have 3 planes that are facing the viewer. This page looks fine overall although I would recommend numbering your boxes as you go. I'm going to mark this as complete and good luck with the 250 box challenge!

Next Steps:

The 250 Box Challenge

This critique marks this lesson as complete.

awesome, thank you.

while i was doing the 250 box challenge, a technical confusion came up. does it matter, where the vanishing points lay on a given axis or can they be moved up and down arbitrarily along their axis

i drew this box with varying distances to the closest corner to clarify what i mean:

are all of these boxes technically correct?

Yes, but as you can see there is lots of distortion when the vps are very close.

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

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.
