Redo 250 boxes for official critique after a break?

5:53 AM, Tuesday October 19th 2021

Hi, so I completed lesson 1 as well as the 250 box challenge about 6 months ago and got up to the texture analysis before I dropped it. This month I decided to come back and completed lesson 1 again and am interested in submitting for official critique, however I am curious if I should repeat the 250 box challenge, or just submit my old ones; I completed a page of boxes to see if it held up to my previous box page of 244-250 and I want to say it's pretty equal to my old ones.

If you have a look back through the questions here you should find an answer fairly quickly, it has been asked a few times. I think for official critique you may be asked to do another 50 or so boxes so you are judged on your current level but you won't have to redo the whole exercise.

Thank you for the response, Looking through it seems that is the trending pattern, I'm just gonna go ahead and submit the work I have now and go off of the feedback they give me.

I guess students who finished the 250 box challenge before can submit 50 additional boxes. I just found this out, so I already did the challenge two times. It was extremely helpful, though. It increased my line quality and understanding of perspective.

Cottonwood Arts Sketchbooks

These are my favourite sketchbooks, hands down. Move aside Moleskine, you overpriced gimmick. These sketchbooks are made by entertainment industry professionals down in Los Angeles, with concept artists in mind. They have a wide variety of sketchbooks, such as toned sketchbooks that let you work both towards light and towards dark values, as well as books where every second sheet is a semitransparent vellum.
