Hi there, I'll be handling your box challenge critique.

Congratulations on completing the box challenge, it's definitely a lot more work than most people expect. Not only does it help deepen your understanding of important concepts but it shows your desire to learn as well. Be proud of what you've accomplished and that desire you've shown. That being said I'll try to keep this critique fairly brief so you can get working on the next steps as soon as possible.

Things you did well:

• Your lines are looking smoothly and confidently drawn.

• When hatching you're keeping your lines evenly spaced which shows you're intentionally planning and thinking about them rather than just rushing them.

• It looks like you tried implementing line weight at times, it's not a requirement of the challenge but it's a good thing to start practicing early. It takes most people a fair bit of mileage before they feel comfortable applying it so getting an early start helps you see results sooner. Keep practicing with it and you'll continue to improve (you seemed to stop after a certain point).

• Great work experimenting with proportions, orientations and rates of foreshortening. Experimentation is an important part of the learning process because it helps us form a more well rounded understanding of concepts rather than relying on drawing one particular way.

• Overall your convergences are more consistent than when you started and it's good to see that you stopped extending your lines in the wrong direction.

Things you can work on:

• You draw a bit on the smaller side, try drawing larger. Drawing large helps us become more comfortable working with our shoulder as well as allows us to see our mistakes more clearly.

• There are times when your lines converge in pairs or you attempt to keep your lines a bit too parallel which results in them diverging. This is an example of lines converging in pairs, and this shows the relation between each line in a set and their respective vanishing point. The inner pair of lines will be quite similar unless the box gets quite long and the outer pair can vary a lot depending on the location of the vanishing point. Move it further away and the lines become closer to parallel while moving it closer increases the rate of foreshortening.

The key things we want to remember from this exercise are that our lines should always converge as a set not in pairs, never diverge from the vanishing point and due to perspective they won't be completely parallel.

Overall while you did make a few mistakes your boxes are improving so far and with more mileage you'll continue to become more consistent. That being said I'll be marking your submission as complete and moving you on to lesson 2.

Keep practicing previous exercises and boxes as warm ups, work on your line confidence and good luck
