Here's my 250 boxes submission. I did a few more because there's some I'm not happy with
Hi Razgriz, Congratulations on getting through the 250 box challenge. Here are some things you did good as well as some points of improvement:
Your linework looks confident. There are no noticeable wobbly lines.
It's good to see you started hatching you boxes as it is a good exercise for you linework and it makes the boxes easier to read. The hatching itself look very good as well.
Although it's optional it would also be good practice to increase the lineweight of the contour of the boxes by going over these lines a second time. It should however only be added to the outer contour of the box and not to the sides of one face like you did with boxes 132 and 134.
There is a noticeable improvement in the perspective throughout your 250 boxes. Where mistakes in perspective are common in the first half they occur less and less as you go on which is nice to see. Even mistakes in the inner corner are very little in the last ±50 boxes. Which isn't an easy thing to do.
The last thing I want to mention is that you don't have to add more to your lesson homework if you are not happy with the result. Making mistakes is part of the process. As long as you can show you understand what the lesson is about you are fine. Which you definitely did.
Overall very nice work. Good luck with lesson 2
Next Steps:
Here we're getting into the subjective - Gerald Brom is one of my favourite artists (and a pretty fantastic novelist!). That said, if I recommended art books just for the beautiful images contained therein, my list of recommendations would be miles long.
The reason this book is close to my heart is because of its introduction, where Brom goes explains in detail just how he went from being an army brat to one of the most highly respected dark fantasy artists in the world today. I believe that one's work is flavoured by their life's experiences, and discovering the roots from which other artists hail can help give one perspective on their own beginnings, and perhaps their eventual destination as well.
