Hello CHILDSLAVERYROXX congrats on completing the 250 Box Challenge, here are my thoughts:
-
as lesson goes on they do too many boxes with dramatic foreshortening
-
lacks use of strategic line weight
-
at times will go over lines with the intention of correcting them
I can definitely notice your improvement, you seem much more confident by the end of it than you did at the start. There is not much to point out, however I will have to ask you to do 30 more boxes all with shallow foreshortening. It is hard to evaluate the quality of your convergences since as the challenge goes on you started making their foreshortening more dramatic. I'd also suggest that you try different orientations for your boxes as at times they become repetitive and you seem to follow the same configuration of boxes for most pages. You are almost there, this is the final push.
Best of luck

It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
Ellipse Master Template
This recommendation is really just for those of you who've reached lesson 6 and onwards.
I haven't found the actual brand you buy to matter much, so you may want to shop around. This one is a "master" template, which will give you a broad range of ellipse degrees and sizes (this one ranges between 0.25 inches and 1.5 inches), and is a good place to start. You may end up finding that this range limits the kinds of ellipses you draw, forcing you to work within those bounds, but it may still be worth it as full sets of ellipse guides can run you quite a bit more, simply due to the sizes and degrees that need to be covered.
No matter which brand of ellipse guide you decide to pick up, make sure they have little markings for the minor axes.
