Uncomfortable's Advice from /r/ArtFundamentals

How to satisfy the condition of intersection points when doing 250 Box Challenge, without deform the cube. When trying to make all the line intersection, my cube doesn't look like a cube at all.

The question you're asking in the title is a little unclear, and the link you included seems to lead to an error. I'd recommend rephrasing your question and fixing the link, then posting this again.

I do have two things to say however, that may help:

  • The 250 box challenge does not have us drawing cubes (boxes which specifically have a square for each face) - you may have simply used the wrong word, which is fine, but just in case I wanted to clarify that misconception. We're only drawing boxes, where the proportions do not matter.

  • The 250 box challenge is an exercise - meaning, each individual box we draw does not have to be perfect, but rather by drawing a page of boxes, then applying the line extensions, we can identify where things went wrong, and where those lines are not oriented to converge in a consistent manner. Then, we take what we learned from that, and make adjustments to our approach for the next page, repeating the process. We make more mistakes, we identify them, and we try to improve on them, growing a little bit each time. That's why we're drawing 250 of them - it gives us plenty of room to improve over the scope of the whole set.
