Hello and great job on finishing the challenge.
You don't need to be sorry for messy lines its alright, but you should let them be wrong and don't draw over them multiple times, once for extra line weight is enough.
I don't see any problems with extending your lines in the right direction and your lines are very straight and with a good fill of confidence.
It seems to me you are already pretty good at constructing boxes from the get go and also you also have good variations from the start, but the more you come to the end it seems you pick your favorite box orientation and stick with them. That could be normal for such a long challenge, but it's something i noticed.
The only thing is you could do better with is adding a bit more pressure with the line weight.
Also your line divergence are pretty good and they get better over the challenge so the end corner is not so much off.
All in all you did a great job, you can try out additional exercises for boxes if you want. https://drawabox.com/lesson/250boxes/2
And if you want to improve you adding line weight you can stick to the lesson one line exercise for warm up. Example you could do the ghosted planes and add line weight or just the super imposed lines one.
You can go on to lesson 2 if haven't already finished it.
See you.
Hello! Thank you so much for your critique and sorry for a super late reply and a random notification.
Thank you for your comment about sticking to one box orientation and line weight, I'll take notice of it. I struggle with line weight a little bit, so drawing ghosted planes with additional line weight seems like a reasonable thing to try.
Additional box exercises is something I'm definitely interested in. Now that I came back to Drawabox after a long hiatus, I'm enthusiastic about giving it a try.
Have a nice day!
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.
