250 Box Challenge
8:04 AM, Thursday April 2nd 2020
Finally completed the 250 boxes and would love some feedback.
I accidentally skipped 133, but did an extra box, then also saw that i did 37 twice so its all good. Total 251 boxes
You have improved a lot in drawing your boxes, if we compare your first 10 boxes to your last ten boxes. Remember that even if you have completed your 250 box challenge, do not stop drawing boxes once in a week to further improve your skills.
Keep up the good work dude!!!!!
Hello! I'm no expert but I wanted to add something I think would help you. I'd suggest varying the shape and angle of the boxes that you draw to challenge yourself further. I'd especially suggest rotating the boxes to a more extreme angle and drawing them like that. Most of the boxes you drew look pretty similar (looking down on a cube-like box). Hope that helps. Congrats on finishing the challenge :)
hey Frog! Thank you for this feedback!
I definitely felt that i was doing similar POV's of the boxes, although since i rotated the page a lot it felt as though i was drawing from different angles as i didn't always start with the page at the same angle, am i approaching that incorrectly?
I definitely will try and vary the angle of the lines themselves too, much appreciated :)
A lot of my students use these. The last time I used them was when I was in high school, and at the time I felt that they dried out pretty quickly, though I may have simply been mishandling them. As with all pens, make sure you're capping them when they're not in use, and try not to apply too much pressure. You really only need to be touching the page, not mashing your pen into it.
In terms of line weight, the sizes are pretty weird. 08 corresponds to 0.5mm, which is what I recommend for the drawabox lessons, whereas 05 corresponds to 0.45mm, which is pretty close and can also be used.
