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:

• Your lines are looking smooth and confidently drawn.

• You're experimenting with orientations, proportions and rates of foreshortening. Experimenting is an important habit to build and will serve you well in any learning process. It helps us form a more well rounded understanding so I hope you continue to nurture this habit in the future.

• Overall your convergences are looking more consistent by the end of the challenge which shows your sense of 3D space is coming along nicely.

Things you can work on:

• When hatching you want to extend your lines so that both ends touch an edge of the plane they're being drawn on rather than left floating in the middle.

• Definitely try to experiment with line weight more in the future. Most people need some mileage before they feel comfortable applying it. The sooner you start the sooner you'll see results. Just remember that line confidence is our top priority, keep it subtle rather than redrawing your mistakes and your accuracy will improve with time.

• 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.
