Congratulations for completing the 250 Box Challenge!

Before we begin I just want to let you know that in general TAs will ignore student self assessment or critique so as not to contaminate our own critique of your work. If you have any questions not answered in your critique, feel free to ask them here.

I also 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 pretty good job on the challenge overall and your boxes are coming along nicely. When I compare your early boxes to your final pages I can see that your mark making has improved a good bit. Your line steadily become straighter and more confident looking. You have a pretty good variety of orientation and foreshortening to your boxes. You also do a better job of getting your sets of parallel lines to converge more consistently towards their shared vanishing points!

I can see that you were applying extra line weight to your boxes and you have made a lot of progress with getting your extra line weight to blend more seamlessly with your original marks. There are still a few areas where I can see you hesitating a little. So just make sure that you are using the ghosting method when you add your extra line weight and keep practicing that regularly in your warm ups.

Finally while your converges 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!
