Hi Uncomfortable.
finally I was able to take some time everyday. Here is my home work 250 box challenge.
I took my time to get through with the basics to get my muscle memory back and attempt these everyday. I've observed these few changes in the way i perceive things.
-
In the start, I had trouble drawing through the forms ( I had to ghost quite few times from each of the vertices to get the other corner). But after a while, All i needed was to do was to stare at the figure to approximate the other corner. I'd check if it's right with ghosting and went ahead. Edit: I tried my best to avoid both the extreme corners to coincide and form tangents. But there were a few where i missed.
-
The line weight. After drawing every box and drawing through it. I took time to rotate the page and see which view is the best w.r.t source of light. It seemed that it looks best with the larger part being away (the base) and the smaller side being in the top facing the light. But after a while I made sure to make both the smaller( Looking a building from top) and bigger part of the box to be the base. Giving a different perspective.
-
After around 150 boxes, I started to see everything with a different perspective( as i moved around it, The box moved around). Everything was in boxes xD. I really like this.
But after i reached 200 boxes it seemed like my lines became a bit sloppy and curvy. I concentrated on the basic exercises. I got a little bit better. But I still feel that i'm missing something.
Thanks!

I see them too. :(. Realized after going through other's boxes. Mine look more like when used a wider lens. I'll practice on getting them shallower. Thanks for the input!.
