250 Box Challenge: http://imgur.com/a/BTE7J

I did 300 because why not. I really did need the practice.

It became clear early on that I was just too afraid to use the ghosting technique, particularly with larger boxes. I gradually became less self-conscious and really committed to ghosting around box 140, and that's when I noticed improvement.

I'm sure there's still plenty to improve on, but I hope the improvement over the challenge is clear. Thanks for your time.

This version of the explanation is very helpful. Not that the previous one was insufficient, but the new sample completed exercise you provide gives me a much clearer vision of how the boxes relate to each other.

Thanks for the update.

Thanks for this great resource, and for your critique. I want to stick with this, so being held accountable helps.

I have some extra pages of exercises in there. I also had a slight ink shortage during the rotated boxes, although that doesn't hide the fact that it was the hardest exercise for me.

Thanks again.
