Thank you so much for your feedback! You're right in that I repeated the same box, however I was attempting to recreate the Ys from the generator. I suppose memory is fickle, haha. Here are an extra 25 boxes with an attempt to rotate even more -> https://imgur.com/a/lrlhGjL

Regarding the revisions, I did try Scylla's method from box 8 to box 13, but I found the method to be time consuming and somehow more inaccurate, so at box 14 I switched back to the inner corner method I learned from the discord. I also experimented a bit with the arrow method from the Discord for 2pp boxes.

I hope this is satisfactory. If I need to do more, do let me know!

Ok, I think there is enough variety of boxes now. Some notes before you go to the next lesson:

  • Check the foreshortening of your boxes. This can help you creating diverse effects on the view of your boxes

  • Practice your boxes. Don't forget about them forever, try to keep them in mind, so you can still improve on your perspective

And that's much of time. Time to make some constructions

P.S: I've messed up with the next lesson to move. GO TO LESSON 2, NOT 3!!!!

Next Steps:

Go to Lesson 3

This community member feels the lesson should be marked as complete, and 4 others agree. The student has earned their completion badge for this lesson and should feel confident in moving onto the next lesson.

Thanks a ton for the critique! I'll keep that in mind going forward!

It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
Staedtler Pigment Liners

Staedtler Pigment Liners

These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.

Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
