250 Box Challenge
1:58 AM, Thursday October 8th 2020
Took me more than a month, but I've finally finished it! The final page is something that I feel kinda ashamed of, the lines are just so terrible. The images are not properly ordered because the imgur app decided so.
Anyway, I often drew boxes using something different from the Y method. Let me explain my step by step:
-
Fully draw the front face and check where its convergences are. It has two.
-
Dot where the opposite face should be, checking if its edges will converge correctly with the front face's.
-
Check the last axis' convergence. If it's off, you can adjust by moving a connected pair of dots/vertices.
An alternative is to extend only one line after the first face's drawn, guiding towards the last convergence. This defines one vertex position and helps setting the last 3. I personally prefer drawing a face first and then the rest of the box over the Y method, I feel that I have more freedom doing so, more choice on how the box will look.
One thing I am well aware is that my line quality is terrible and it really shows in some boxes. They often curve and/or miss the spot. I'll be honest here, I've been slacking off on my warmups and shoulder exercises and often went just for elbow+wrist movement for some lines, with mixed results. I will commit sudoku to recover my honor stop slacking off and actually work on that.
