Hey there, good job making it through the 250 box challenge.
Starting off, your line confidence was quite rough. There's still some signs of wobbling even towards the end though, so make sure you're taking the time to plan and confidently execute each and every one of your lines. It's good to see you've applied line weight and hatching to the majority of your lines however again, make sure you're executing these confidently and with the appropriate amount of planning.
I noticed that you used whiteout quite a lot throughout the challenge. I don't think I need to tell you that this is highly discouraged and that you should be working with your mistakes as these are generally not as bad as they seem. Throw it away or put it somewhere away from your working area so that you're not tempted to use it.
Your convergences have improved over the course of the challenge however your inconsistent application of the check lines has robbed you of the chance for further improvement. Additionally, you've drawn your boxes quite small, we tend to recommend that students draw no more than 2-6 boxes per page - this gives them more space to work through the spatial problems they're encountering and makes certain kinds of mistakes more obvious.
You've still got divergence present in your final boxes as well as parallel lines converging in pairs. This diagram shows the relationship between the angles of the lines of your boxes. You'll note that the green and orange (interior) lines are so similar in angle as to be almost parallel whilst the blue and magenta (outer) lines converge at a steeper angle.
Next Steps:
I would like to see 20 more boxes, with the following taken into consideration:
-
The relationships of the angles of your lines
-
No whiteout
-
Check lines applied consistently
-
Lines executed confidently
-
Boxes drawn large - no more than 6 to a page
