Hi, congrats on completing the challenge! It’s a large undertaking and is impressive that you’ve gotten through it; a testament to your hard work here. I hope my thoughts can be of help.
I think your boxes are drawn generally very well, with straight and confident lines for the most part. The outlines are done very clearly, and the hatching is done very well. There are some wobbly lines, but it’s to be expected when we’re drawing so many boxes, and, by and large, you’ve showing that you know how to plot two points, use your shoulder to connect them, and create shapes that way.
Some of your thicker and larger boxes have good perspective, and lines that don’t converge. However, I’ve noticed that some of your thinner boxes tend to have converging lines. Boxes like 185, 186, 176, 177, and more. As far as I can tell with those, the mistake comes from the inner corner, which is very typical as it’s the accumulation of various mistakes along the way. One might normally recommend making sure that you don’t draw the inner corner was the last line for the box, but I’ve also noticed that you have converging lines on different sides of the box as well, such as 71 and 74. This makes me think a different recommendation might be better:
Next Steps:
I would recommend going back over your boxes with converging lines with a ruler and pen or pencil of a different colour for corrections. Place your ruler at the point that the converging line starts from, and aim the ruler to draw a new line that fits properly with the vanishing point implied by the direction of the other lines. This will help to build a better intuitive sense of perspective and lead to more accuracy in future exercises. After that, I think the exercise will have fulfilled its purpose!

Hi!Thank you so much for reviewing my 250 challenge.I did the revision tying to folow your instructions but was a little bit confused.Arent all boxes supposed to have converging lines and if so arent the boxes that dont converge wrong? But I think I gout what you are trying to say and did revision trying to follow your advice : https://imgur.com/a/3yfUmmH. (also my ink broke during this revision so there are some splashes of ink sorry)

This is fantastic! Well done! I appreciate how thorough you were with these corrections. This is more than enough to constitute a pass in my opinion!
Yes, sorry for not being precise with my wording, I meant to say the lines that converge too early without reaching a vanishing point implied by all of the lines. I'm glad that you still managed to understand what I tried to convey in spite of my miscommunication.
Best of luck going forward!

How to Draw by Scott Robertson
When it comes to technical drawing, there's no one better than Scott Robertson. I regularly use this book as a reference when eyeballing my perspective just won't cut it anymore. Need to figure out exactly how to rotate an object in 3D space? How to project a shape in perspective? Look no further.
