Don't worry about it. Being able to draw boxes from different angles and rotations will become a lot easier the deeper you get into these lessons and the rotated box exercise is sort of meant to be beyond most beginners abilities to get them to try something they aren't comfortable with.

For your shoulder a little soreness was happening for me at first as well but not that bad. I would definitely practice for less amount of time than you were previously doing until your muscles get used to being used more.

Thank you for the advice for my shoulder! I will work to break up my drawing sessions into shorter periods.

Here is my second attempt at the rotated boxes.

Good job on completing the exercise! You are running into a pretty common issue of not actually rotating your boxes in some cases but instead simply drawing them moving back in perspective. https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/21/notrotating Other than that this turned out pretty well. I'm going to mark this as complete and good luck with the 250 box challenge!

Color and Light by James Gurney

Color and Light by James Gurney

Some of you may remember James Gurney's breathtaking work in the Dinotopia series. This is easily my favourite book on the topic of colour and light, and comes highly recommended by any artist worth their salt. While it speaks from the perspective of a traditional painter, the information in this book is invaluable for work in any medium.
