Hi Uncomfortable,

I have just finished lesson 1 and am about to start on the 250 box challenge. I definitely had quite a few issues starting out with my line confidence and my line weight is still very much suffering. I presume that these 2 just come with much more practice?

I thought that my boxes were improving quite quickly after the first few box exercises, and the self critique really illustrates how off they can be, even in only 1 point perspective. I also need to work on my ellipses and circles quite a lot as they seem to be very loose.

Very much looking forward to getting to the later lessons as well, these lessons really help me when I cant be bothered to do any art as they are very well structured and have a precise goal. Thank you for making such a structured lesson plan for the basics, it has really gotten me into art which I always said I wanted to do but never actually stuck with.

Thanks for the advice. I will submit the finished lesson next week and then get started on the 250 box challenge (I will definitely need it)

Hi /u/Uncomfortable, just a quick question: I have finished lesson 1 and have done 2 panels of organically rotated boxes and am well aware I am stumbling in that the near plane always seems to come out smaller than the far plane. I thought the best approach would be to tackle the 250 box challenge now so that when I finish off the lesson I will have a much better grip on the boxes in 3D space. Should I submit my self critiqued work with half of the organically rotated boxes now or wait until I have finished the 250 box challenge and submit the full lesson?

Thanks for all you've done, I really needed a structured approach to the fundamentals and this has really gotten me back into art; I can already see improvement in other areas of my drawing. Thank you box sensei
