250 Box Challenge
2:30 AM, Thursday August 13th 2020
If there's anything I learned from this exercise, it's that drawing straight and precise lines is really hard, and lining boxes up with three vanishing points by eyeball is even harder.
Hello, Azimuthzero. Congrats on finishing a hard challenge!
Having looked at your boxes, I think you pretty much nailed the challenge. Your convergences are mostly correct (converge away from the viewer. Your inner corners are also mostly within perspective. You've also drawn boxes in a good variety of orientations. Comparing your first and last boxes, it's clear that you have a good understanding how boxes sit in 3D space.
The only thing might need some work on is your linework - some of your hatching is a bit wobbly and frayed. Remember to ghost, start on the dot, and aim for confidence rather than accuracy. Overall, great attempt though!
Next Steps:
Move on to Lesson 2!
Thanks so much for looking through my work, I appreciate your time :)
This is a remarkable little pen. Technically speaking, any brush pen of reasonable quality will do, but I'm especially fond of this one. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.
Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.
