250 Box Challenge
8:13 PM, Friday April 5th 2024
I'm way, way behind on getting this uploaded. These were all drawn before the recent overhaul of the 250 box challenge instructions.
1. Line extension
Line extension seems good enough overall
2. Divergence & Parallel lines
119 seems a bit parallel
3. Hatching
Hatching is a bit faint in some of the boxes
4. Lineweight
Overall lineweight is good enough
5. Wobbly & Repeating lines
Overall lines seem confident
6. Similar orientations
There's good ammount of variations
7. Inner corner
Most of the corners are maintained (despite some unevitable errors on the placement)
Overall you've grasped the concept & goal of the challenge.
Next Steps:
You can move onto lesson 2. Make sure to do these boxes as part of your routine exercise as well the lesson 1 stuff.
Thank you very much for your feedback!
A lot of my students use these. The last time I used them was when I was in high school, and at the time I felt that they dried out pretty quickly, though I may have simply been mishandling them. As with all pens, make sure you're capping them when they're not in use, and try not to apply too much pressure. You really only need to be touching the page, not mashing your pen into it.
In terms of line weight, the sizes are pretty weird. 08 corresponds to 0.5mm, which is what I recommend for the drawabox lessons, whereas 05 corresponds to 0.45mm, which is pretty close and can also be used.
