Hi Scyllastew,
I hope you are keeping well and safe.
Thanks very much for all your help, I believe I understand what you want me to do, but I had a hard time to put in practice.
But I hope I get this time.
Please find the link below.
Again Thanks for all your time and let me know if I need to do more boxes =]
Kind Regards,
JT
I can see you made some improvements here but you are still keeping many of your sets of lines perfectly parallel on the page. Box 7 on page 3 of your work is a fair example of how your sets of lines should still converge slightly, even when drawing boxes with shallow foreshortening. Remember that your sets of lines should not appear perfectly parallel on the page for this exercise.
Before having you move on I will assign you 10 additional boxs. For these boxes I want you to use more dramatic foreshortening instead. You can read more about that here.
If you have not seen it already, I recommend you check out this video I made where I demonstrate how I plan and draw my boxes.
Make sure you reread the lesson in its entirety before starting on these revisions.
Next Steps:
10 Additional boxes with more dramatic foreshortening.
Hi Scyllastew,
I hope you are keeping well and safe.
please find the extra 10 boxes below,
Let me know that I get it this time or I need more ?
Thanks for all your help.

Looking at your work here, I don't think you've understood the point Scylla was trying to make, as your boxes look more or less the same as the last set of revisions.
The problem is that you are attempting to draw the edges of your boxes as being parallel on the page. All of the lines we draw for these freely rotated boxes must be drawn with an awareness of how the edges that are parallel in 3D space, when drawn on the flat, 2D page, must be made to converge towards a shared vanishing point.
This occurs whether the foreshortening is dramatic (rapid convergence with a closer vanishing point) or shallow (with a more gradual convergence and a far-off vanishing point), but Scylla assigned you to draw boxes with more dramatic foreshortening specifically to push you to move away from these overly parallel lines. If you're unsure of what dramatic foreshortening means, it is defined in this section from the challenge notes as well as here in Lesson 1.
As discussed back in Lesson 1, specifically where we talk about vanishing points "going to infinity", the only circumstance that can lead to a set of edges that are parallel in 3D space, being drawn as lines that remain parallel in 2D space, is when they run parallel to the picture plane itself. Meaning, they don't slat away or towards the viewer at all - they run across their field of view. This cannot occur for all three sets of lines that make up a box - at most it can occur to two out of three - but because we're rotating these boxes in this challenge in an entirely random fashion, the chances of the box aligning so perfectly as to have any of its vanishing points "go to infinity" is so small that we may as well ignore it altogether.
So, long story short: you need to be having your sets of edges, which are parallel in 3D space, converge towards a consistent vanishing point when drawn in 2D.
As a result, when you apply the line extensions, you should be able to see those lines getting closer to one another in a consistent manner as they extend away from the viewer.
Try the revision of 10 boxes again.

This is one of my favourite books. It's a fantasy-comedy romp, and the world that J. Zachary Pike has created honestly takes my breath away. There are laughs at every turn, but the story is not without its heart wrenching moments - some for which I have yet to fully forgive the author.
If you're at all curious about the kinds of nonsense I read, or just need something new to sink your teeth into, this is one I can highly recommend. On top of that, being self-published by an indie author, it's the kind of thing where your individual support can go a long way.
P.S: The audiobook, with narration from Doug Tisdale, is especially good, and elevates the story in ways I can't rightly describe.
