Hi there, I'll be handling your box challenge critique.

Congratulations on completing the box challenge, it's definitely a lot more work than most people expect. Not only does it help deepen your understanding of important concepts but it shows your desire to learn as well. Be proud of what you've accomplished and that desire you've shown. That being said I'll try to keep this critique fairly brief so you can get working on the next steps as soon as possible.

Things you did well:

• You're keeping your lines smooth and confident for the most part. There is the occasional wobble which shows you may still hesitate at times. Just remember confidence is our top priority and accurate will improve with mileage.

• Your hatching is evenly spaced which shows thought being put into each line rather than just rushing them on to the page.

• Good work experimenting with orientations, proportions and rates of foreshortening. Experimenting is an important part o the learning process and helps us develop a more well rounded undertanding of new concepts. I hope you continue to experiment in the future course material as well.

• Overal your convergences are improving and becoming more consistent, they may not be perfect but perfect isn't the goal, developing a better understanding of 3D space is.

Things you can work on:

• You draw quite small at times, drawing large helps us become comfortable working from the shoulder and allows us to see our mistakes more clearly.

• Line weight isn't a requirement of the challenge but is something most people need some mileage with before they feel comfortable applying it. It's a useful tool so it's one worth practicing with in your warm ups at the very least.

• There are times when your lines converge in pairs or you attempt to keep your lines a bit too parallel which results in them diverging. This is an example of lines converging in pairs, and this shows the relation between each line in a set and their respective vanishing point. The inner pair of lines will be quite similar unless the box gets quite long and the outer pair can vary a lot depending on the location of the vanishing point. Move it further away and the lines become closer to parallel while moving it closer increases the rate of foreshortening.

The key things we want to remember from this exercise are that our lines should always converge as a set not in pairs, never diverge from the vanishing point and due to perspective they won't be completely parallel.

Overall while you did make a few mistakes your boxes are improving so far and with more mileage you'll continue to become more consistent. That being said I'll be marking your submission as complete and moving you on to lesson 2.

Keep practicing previous exercises and boxes as warm ups, and good luck
