Thanks again for the critique!

At first, I was doing the more extreme perspectives more or less by accident, by using the "Y" method. Since I followed the rule to always draw in direction of the vanishing point and never away from it, I might overshot more often than not and thereby accidently produced such extreme perspectives. I was too concentrated on just making sure not to produce pyramid shapes there the near plane is smaller than the far plane.

Later on I realized this effect and did it on purpose, because I was thinking that the more extreme perspectives were a better exercise and harder to make right.

But you are absolutly right, in the future I need to be careful to keep a right measure. But I hope this will be tackled in follow up lessons.

Here are my 250 boxes!

I'm not sure about how much I improved. Maybe I rushed to much, but I have the feeling that the result depends more on concentration and day-form than my increased pratice. Maybe I'm wrong.

Tried to experiment with extreme perspectives, and they turned out quite wonky most of the times.

I also made the mistake to use a pencil to correct my mistakes. The pencil lines are really hard to see.

Thanks for the feedback. I already drew my first 100 boxes of the 250 challenge :-)

Hej Uncomfortable, thanks so much for doing this! The amount of work you put into this is impressing.

Here is my Homework for Lesson 01

I never drew much, but always wanted to learn it. I think my motor skills are really underdeveloped. The idea of drawing from the shoulder or elbow was very strange to me, and difficult. I found myself going back to wrist-drawing unconsciously.
