Thanks for the feedback. I'll try to keep up the improvements through the cylinders

Here's the 250 Box challenge http://imgur.com/a/Ip60f. Since I still have a lot to work on structure I didn't pay much attention to line weight until the later boxes and nothing advanced. Corrections are in the blue ink - graphite was added on some boxes to look for corrections not easy to eyeball but don't mean I think the box is wrong necessarily.

I'd say the biggest thing I've learned from this aside from box structure was how important ghosting is. I've been pick it up more midway and you might see a line quality improvement to show that.

I found the angle to be super helpful as Uncomfortable said. I'd also add that the closer to 180 degrees an angle is the more foreshortened (facing away from you) that plane will be and the closer to 90 degrees, the less foreshortened it will be. Combine this understanding with how lengths visibly shrink down when along a foreshortened plane and you can imagine basically any box from any angle. When you go to boxes that can't be simply drawn with a Y (eg. looking at a box straight on) these same principles will still apply with some adaptation.

Thanks for the great feedback! Yeah I definitely need to focus more in the moment when ghosting the boxes and will focus on my line quality.

Hi Uncomfortable. Here's HW1. http://imgur.com/a/Un1fF I started the exercises months back but got sidetracked so these here were all done within the past week. A couple of notes:

• My first attempts at the free hand 2 pt perspective were impossible to see because of the lines I drew over them so I re-did them showing the before and after. I've included all of them incase you would like more boxes to feast on but 24-25 are the main pages to look at if thats a lot of scrolling to be had.

• I didn't bother much with line weight or cross hatching unless I couldn't read a box right - instead focusing on just the perspective.

Otherwise just a bunch of mistakes I see but will wait to hear from you on that.

Thanks

Also for future reference would you prefer that I upload them vertically as I did or horizontally so you can see the full image on a widescreen display easier?
