Hello, this is my 250 box challenge.
Some points that I myself have noticed:
the first few pages don't have an face hatched (yes I know I should have done them)
sometimes I hatched the wrong side but that improved after time
major improvements after page ~ 28
still have some problems with the back side of the boxes
Congratulations on finishing all 250! Returning the favor since you helped me out with a critique. I'll try to the best of my ability to give feedback.
Reminder that all 3 angles of your original Y should be greater than 90 degrees. You have some that are less than 90 degrees which led to distortion in boxes especially when it came to the back side.
Some exension lines are in the wrong direction (may be connected to hatching incorrect side of box). I can tell you were having some problems with this in the first 9 pages but it almost disappears through the rest of the pages. Remember you want your extension lines to go away from you in 3D space. A shortcut is to check that all extension lines are going towards vanishing points your original Y lines point to.
Sometimes in the pursuit to make lines parallel, you end up having diverging outer edges. This occured less over time but still recurred for you.
Funny enough, opposite to your feedback to me, I think you should experimented a bit more with dramatic forshortening since the goal of the challenge is to try out both.
It's great to see your improvement in nailing the boxes throughout the challenge especially with your good mix of sizes and angles. You started with pretty confident line work and even that seemed to improve throughout the exercise. Overall, I think you did a good job at understanding the purpose of the assignment although we can always improve.
Next Steps:
Create 5 more boxes with dramatic foreshortening. Focus on how your extension lines are supposed to point away from you, the viewer. I'll mark challenge this complete when you send those.
Hi, thanks for replying.
Tried my best with these boxes maybe they aren't perfect but they are more dramatic than my usual.

And trying your best is all we need in this drawing journey. These are some good boxes and you got all of the extension lines correct. Marking complete.
Next Steps:
Good luck on Lesson 2!
These are my favourite sketchbooks, hands down. Move aside Moleskine, you overpriced gimmick. These sketchbooks are made by entertainment industry professionals down in Los Angeles, with concept artists in mind. They have a wide variety of sketchbooks, such as toned sketchbooks that let you work both towards light and towards dark values, as well as books where every second sheet is a semitransparent vellum.
