Post with 0 views. Drawabox - 250 box challenge

Excited to be on this journey with you! In the beginning, I was focused on getting the lines to converge to a VP. Later I started trying to imagine the planes and rotating the page to verify if things diverged, which seems to have helped a bit. On constructive feedback side, I consistently made the front plane diverge and the back top plane converge too quickly for a vertical box tilted down towards the viewer, so I'll have to focus on that. If you think it would be unwise to move forward without taking another stab at some boxes, please let me know!

Thank you for taking a look at my work!

Good use of hatching, I don't see any mistakes with the converging lines that you yourself didn't catch, and there is clear improvement in line quality and box shape from start to finish comparing the first 50 to the last 50, good work I would say this is completed.

I appreciate the critique!

Agreed, I'd simply suggest that you don't go over your original lines with the ruler while checking their convergences, as this makes it harder to evaluate line quality. Good Luck with lesson 3!

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.
