Take me 2 month to finish, super lazy later on, but finally able to beat it :))
Very much appriciate any feedback
Hello, feedback for 250 boxes.
Line quality - Strong and confident all throughout. With added lineweight, it appears that you started doing them, stopped for a while, and I can't really tell if you started them again later. The added lineweight can use some practice as they deviate a bit from the original line. The hatching on the box faces is also confident but a bit untidy - some of the lines under/overshoot the edge. I recommend treating the hatching with the same care like you draw the box edges, this is something you can practice in warmups.
Box construction - Looks great overall! Nice variety of boxes of different sizes, shapes and perspective, and good work on drawing them with a very distant VP (a few boxes diverge a bit but majority of them are fine). The back corner will always be pesky, so I think you did a good job with having convergent boxes.
I don't have a lot to say because the boxes looks great, and it appears you've understood the fundamentals of confident linework and how to build a box with correct 3-d perspective. Congrats on reaching the end of the gauntlet. When you've recovered from this box overload you can draw a few of them now and again during warmups, to keep that spatial understanding and construction fresh in your skills.
Next Steps:
Lesson 2 is next.
Right from when students hit the 50% rule early on in Lesson 0, they ask the same question - "What am I supposed to draw?"
It's not magic. We're made to think that when someone just whips off interesting things to draw, that they're gifted in a way that we are not. The problem isn't that we don't have ideas - it's that the ideas we have are so vague, they feel like nothing at all. In this course, we're going to look at how we can explore, pursue, and develop those fuzzy notions into something more concrete.
