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. 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 keeping your lines smooth and confidently drawn.

• When hatching you're keeping your lines evenly spaced and tidy which shows that though is being put into them rather than just rushing them on to the page.

• Good work experimenting with orientations, proportions and rates of foreshortening. Experimenting is how we form a well rounded understanding rather than just seeing improvement in one particular method. This is a great habit to build and I hope you continue to demonstrate it in the future as well.

• Your convergences are looking more consistent as you progress throughout the challenge. This is a sign that your sense of 3D space is improving.

Things you can work on:

• At times you draw quite small. Drawing large helps us becom more comfortable working from the shoulder as well as allowing us to see our mistakes more clearly.

• While you are experimenting there is room to experiment with rates of foreshortening more than you are. You tend to keep your vanishing points quite close, try pushing your vanishing points further away at times as well so you don't develop holes in your skill set.

• 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.

Overall while you did make a few mistakes your boxes are improving so far and with more mileage you'll continue to become more consistent. That being said I'll be marking your submission as complete and moving you on to lesson 2.

Keep practicing previous exercises and boxes as warm ups, and good luck.
