Hi! i've finally finished the 250 box challenge a few weeks ago but, unfortunately, i couldn't post it until now due to internet problems.
The exercise was a little hard (and i can't even think who would do this again xD) and while i was doing it, i've noticed an improvement in my own line quality and perception of 3D space.
P.S. pg. 48 is made by 2 differents sheets because one of them got wet.
Congratulations on completing the 250 Box Challenge!
Before we begin I just want to mention that in the future, when you go to scan your homework submissions, it would be better to scan your homework using the "photo" setting instead of the "drawing" setting. The drawing setting tends to up the contrast on an image and can cause you to lose some of the subtlety in your line work.
You did a really good job on the challenge overall. Your lines are consistently straight and confident looking. You clearly took your time and did your best at every step of this exercise. You also did fairly well adding extra weight to your lines. By the end of the challenge you did a better job of getting your sets of lines to converge more consistently towards their shared vanishing points!
While your convergences do improve overall I think this diagram will help you further develop that skill as you continue through Drawabox. So, when you are looking at your sets of lines you want to be focusing only on the lines that share a vanishing point. This does not include lines that share a corner or a plane, only lines that converge towards the same vanishing point. Now when you think of those lines, including those that have not been drawn, you can think about the angles from which they leave the vanishing point. Usually the middle lines have a small angle between them, and this angle will become negligible by the time they reach the box. This can serve as a useful hint.
Congrats again and good luck with lesson 2!

Continue to lesson 2!
Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.
Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
