250 Box Challenge

It's been a while of no posts. 

In short, my second lesson needs to be redone and in the meanwhile, I also needed to do the 250 box challenge. Fairly self-explanatory. 250 boxes drawn in 1, 2, and 3 point perspective for practice.

This took over a week and 21 pages of sketchbook paper, but here they are!

I tried to mark most of the mistakes. I missed a few I see even now but I'm not sure it's worth rephotographing and re-uploading it all. 

Next, I need to redo Lesson 2. I hope to do better this time.

LESSON 2 - THE BASICS, PART 2 FROM /R/ARTFUNDEMENTALS

Here is Lesson 2 -  Organic Forms, Contour Lines, Dissections and Form Intersections.

First, Organic Forms. Three pages of arrows:

Now, the 4 pages of organic shapes:

Dissections are next. I'm not sure if I did enough of them.  It was difficult for me to find good source material for references. 

Last, Form Intersections. The video helped but I think I still need more time to really get this stuff down.

I have a feeling I might need to redo some of this. My boxes still suck though they've been getting somewhat better. The 250 box challenge might be next. 

Here's the lesson for those interested:  http://drawabox.com/lesson/2

Lesson 1 - The Basics, Part 1 from /r/ArtFundementals

I have completed Lesson 1: The Basic Mechanics of Drawing: Lines, Ellipses, and Boxes! It doesn't sound like a lot, but, here we are. Make sure to click through all the pages in each slideshow. The last ones tend to be a decent amount better than the first.

Lines: (2 pages of superimposing lines exercise, 1 page of ghosting lines exercise, and 2 pages of planes exercise)

Next, Ellipses: (2 pages of tables of ellipses, 2 pages of ellipses in planes, 1 page of funnels)

Next, and last: BOXES (2 pages of plotted 2 point perspective,  2 pages of rough perspective, 2 pages of organic perspective) Man oh man did this take forEVER

Now, I understand that this isn't some great amazing artwork. This is a way for me to keep track of progress and hopefully someone gets some useful exercises out of it as well. 
Here's a link to the lesson: http://drawabox.com/lesson/1

Happy drawing everyone!

EDIT: My sloppiness has been caught and I am properly ashamed of myself. Here is another page of rough perspective. This had me tearing at my hair and banging my head on the desk. Maybe I need a few more years of practice before I can draw straight lines.
