Hi there Ericna, I have passed along this information to uncomfortable and he should be getting back to you. For now I'll be going over your boxes so let's get started!

Now you have made some serious progress throughout this challenge. Your line quality is better, your sense of space is better, your feel for the convergences of lines is right on by the end of it. Overall, this is what we hope for by the end. Not necessarily the ability to draw boxes super well, but growth from a mindful approach to this challenge, and I am definitely seeing this and the fruits of it here. You have done a pretty good job varying up your orientations and rates of convergences of your boxes resulting in efficient practice and growth, and you have done a good job extending your lines to check your convergences and use that to improve from page to page. One thing that you are still struggling with is your line weight around the silhouette. You have the right idea that you could be making your outer lines heavier to give your form more solidity, but the execution is what is lacking. Remember that applying line weight is just an applied version of the super imposed lines exercise from lesson 1. When you are applying weight to a line, you are not tracing the line but rather confidently drawing a new line on top of the old one. It is that confidence and mindset of drawing a new line that helps avoid shakiness.

Regarding your convergences and such, by the end of the challenge you are not having many issues. Your lines aren't skewing much and everything is more or less heading to the same target. Nevertheless, I will be showing you the infographic uncomfortable has made for the sake of being thorough. The main take away from this is about how we must look at all parallel lines in tandem as we draw them because they are all related to one another by the vanishing point and the location of said point is what determines the angles between these lines. You did a really nice job of keeping everything in mind while you are drawing your boxes and therefore don't have much in terms of your back lines getting skewed, but if you have any questions regarding this infographic please let me know.

With this, your 250 box challenge will be marked as complete. Keep practicing super imposing lines during your warm ups, and don't neglect boxes either. The next few lessons are very organic and you don't want to get rusty by the time you get to lesson 6. Additionally you may want to try drawing larger boxes (one to two per page scale) as they those pose their own unique set of problems and solutions, but are needed for the later lessons.

thanks a lot for the y-generator, ericna! :)

I've given it some thought, and have decided that your tool may indeed be helpful. I've added a link to the box challenge page, and have told students that they can use if if they're having trouble, but must limit it to their first 100. Also, I don't have any issues with you placing ads on that page, as long as it's within reason. No reason you shouldn't benefit from your own creation, after all.

Thank you eric na I was struggling about this! very cool !

Erica I'm just here to say thank you for the Y-generator - such a great app. I'll definitely be using it to get my intuitive understanding up for the first 50 boxes or so.

Hi Ericna,

Here to say thanks for the Y-generator. Found it pretty useful as I completed my first 50 boxes.

Cheers.
