Agreed! Right abound box 150(When I felt I could much easier see my mistakes even without extending the lines) I switched from the staedtler .05 to the faber-Castel S. I noticed my lines suffered significantly with the smaller tip size (in hindsight). I also started trying other things like making the vanishing point farther away or combining short ones with long ones to see if I could understand the box in 3d space better. I think doing all these things at once vs one at time got to me and definitely spent less time ghosting through that half.

After I go back and check the second half of boxes am I free to move onto lesson two? Or is there something else I should do first?

FINALLY FINISHED THIS CHALLENGE YOU SADIST D:

Really tried all kinds of methods to try and wrap my head around boxes in 3d space. Honestly not sure how much I improved but my intuition on drawing them does feel somewhat stronger:

Will do! Ill probably attempt the rotated boxes one more time before moving forward. Thanks again for taking the time to review my work!

Makes a lot of sense! Totally agree the ellipses motion is uncomfortable for me and I cant seem to match it like I do with lines. I did another page of them and ghosted some boxes to warmup then re-attempted what you said:

I noticed I had a lot more accuracy on the rough boxes when really focus on my horizontal/perp lines and slowing down a bit.

The rotated boxes one really throws me off when I get to the edges and drawing the backside(unseen side) of the boxes. For whatever reason I cant seem to grasp it like proportionally in my mind just yet.

Stumbled upon this because I wanted to create my own game art for games... 11 hours later and here we are! Too far in to turn back now.

My cheap fineliners died on the first part of homework and I really struggled with the organic box section but I did my best:
