250 Box Challenge

It took the better part of a month, but it's finally done. Let me know what you think.
Looking good!
One thing I noticed is that the lines that are right next to each other (for ex. the lines for the edge closest to viewer and furthest to viewer) tend to converge a bit too quickly or actually end up diverging.
I believe these are mistakes you'll get rid of overtime.
One fun little tip from is to try and visualize how the box would look like after you draw the line you are currently planning out.
You boxes looked really good so I'd appreciate it if you looked at mine aswell :)
Next Steps:
I would say you are completely qualified to continue onwards with lesson two!
Good luck!
Thanks for the critique, Vaniilo! I actually moved on long long ago, in fact I just turned in my homework for Lesson 6 yesterday haha. I see what you mean about the lines quickly converging, I'm definitely sure it'll get better with enough practice. And I'll try that visualization trick for sure.
This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.
When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.
Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
