250 Box Challenge

It is a great exercise and it did improve my understanding of how to draw boxes and how to set vanishing points, but in my opinion 250 is just too much. I felt like I got 98% of my understanding from Box 1 to 150 and the other 2% from 150 to 250. After box 200 it just felt like a neverending, dreadful task which made me feel like I could have used the time better by moving on sooner. Knowing that Uncomfortable made this exercise initially to keep someone busy who continued to ask him about perspective did not make me feel any better about those boxes.
So I do see the point of the exercise itself but personally I think drawing 150 would be more beneficial than 250. After drawing boxes every day over 2 weeks you just start hating them and you do not draw them with as much care as you did with the first 100. I still forced myself to maintain as much care as possible and ghosted probably over 10 000 lines and set multiple thousand points but it definitely took away my joy of drawing boxes.
