I've finally finished lesson one, and just in time for February! I've been working on these exercises since about the beginning of December, though everything I'm submitting I drew within the past week and a half.
I won't venture into self-critique, but I think its useful to note that I switched from using Staedtler pens to Sakura Microns at the end of the Rough Perspective Boxes exercise. Maybe its because I was just beginning, but I felt like it was really easy to flatten out the nibs of the Staedtler pens, making the ink flow pretty poor. I'm enjoying the Microns a lot more, and can feel myself using lighter strokes because I'm afraid of ruining another pen.
Anyways, here is my lesson one submission.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

Hey Uncomfortable,
Finished the 250 Box Challenge just in time for March! This was definitely a long --and at times, tedious-- journey. But I could definitely feel myself improving, and looking back at where I started I can see I've gotten a lot better at drawing boxes. I stopped hexing my boxes at the end because (1) I didn't feel like I needed anymore to understand visually which sides of the box were closer and (2) I like the hex-less boxes more in terms of aesthetics.
Here is my 250 Box Challenge submission.
