Hi, Shannowman. Good job on going through all 250 boxes. Hope you had fun.
Most of these seem all right, but the a lot of cases you didn't extend all the lines you were supposed to. Every time you finished a page you should have extended the lines of each box. This would allow you to identify any mistake on your convergences, which you could start avoiding on the next page.
Also, in some occasions you are drawing over the same lines more than once (some examples are boxes 153, 155 or 179). Avoid doing this, as it defeats one of the purposes of using ink, which is to plan your lines well. Plot your lines with dots, ghost them and draw with confidence. Not all lines will look good, but embrace the result and, when it's not so good, keep it in mind and do better next time. Don't try to cover your mistakes by drawing over them.
Sometimes it seems you are increasing the line weight of some of the inner lines. The line weight should be just slithly increased around the silhouette of each box, like in this example.
Anyway, I've marked this as complete, so you're free to start lesson 2.
Next Steps:
Lesson 2.
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.
