Wanted to post my progress on the box challenge one more time. I went back and redid some of the later box exercises, and took the hatching more seriously instead of just using it arbitrarily (though the actual hatching is still kind of messy). My boxes have some divergences and miss the mark occasionally, but the feedback I've gotten here and on Discord has really helped. I'm feeling like once I hit 250 I'll have made a lot of progress.

Thanks so much for all the feedback. Any other tips would be appreciated.

I think I've been very deliberate with placing the hatching for the most part, but in some cases I've almost been applying it arbitrarily or based on feeling. But the hatching is supposed to go on the front side facing the viewer, so that doesn't work I'm realizing.

I'm going to go back to the organic perspective exercise, re-read the instructions and maybe use it as a warmup. I'm not putting enough planning into the boxes before drawing them, that seems to be my problem.

Thanks as always for the feedback, I'm going to try to fix this right now.

Hi there! I was hoping I could get a little critique before continuing through my 250 box challenge. Some of my boxes are turning out perfectly, and others look like wonky garbage. I'm extending the lines toward their implied vanishing points to see that the angles are pointed in the right direction, but I'm convinced I'm doing something wrong during the construction step. Any critique would be appreciated. Also, apologies for only having two colors + dark black to extend the lines.

Sorry! Something went wrong with Imgur. I've reuploaded at https://imgur.com/a/wVj5SwK. The submissions are slightly out of order because the upload had some hiccups, but all should be accounted for.

Sorry for posting this in the wrong place, previously! Finally finished lesson 1. Not feeling great about it, looking for ways to improve.
