Hello Thelollypop, I’ll be reviewing your 250 Box Challenge today.

First off, congratulations on completing the first hurdle of Drawabox. It’s definitely a long marathon but the quality of work between the start and end pages really demonstrates overall improvement. Now let's begin with the critique.

Note: As you mentioned this was submitted before the revised 250 box challenge so I'll be reviewing based on the old method. But I still suggest looking over the new topics for a deeper understanding.

Things you did well:

• Lines confidence definitely was a major strength here as you practise to draw straight from the shoulder. Construction lines are relatively straight and you maintain confidence in your lines.

• Clear experimentation of box size, foreshortening, and orientation. This is a positive habit to carry forward and helps progress our spatial reasoning.

Things you could work on:

• Hatching overall looked good; however, a majority of the time the lines end up wobbling as they progress to the opposing edge. Try ghosting a couple extra times in order to avoid hesitation. Remember to be mindful and perform the same level of execution as you would with any line.

• Line weight; not a requirement however it’s a great tool to apply to subtly reinforce the form. I've seen a few boxes where line weight is applied but I still suggest experimenting with that more in future warm-ups/lessons.

• Sets of lines sometimes converge in pairs rather than collectively towards their respective vanishing points. When constructing a box, be aware of the initial Y line and how each adjacent line should angle itself to the vanishing point. Here’s a diagram showing what to aim for.

Overall, you've done a good job of steadily improving your box quality . I'll mark this down as complete and send you off to Lesson 2. Good luck!
