    I’m in the middle of the 250Box Challenge right now. Thank you for the note about pacing. I just did box 115. I think I’m going to do some 50% time and then come back and finish the challenge more slowly.

    You are amazing! I can't believe you're still making these videos after all these years. You're a true inspiration and a hero to all people who want to learn how to draw.

    Do the 3 rates of convergence need to be similar? Like if i make 1 Vp close, do the other 2 need to be close too?

    The relationships between the rates of convergence of our 3 sets of edges dictates two separate things. The average rate of convergence across all of them speaks to the overall rate of foreshortening, which conveys how much of the measurements of that box can be measured directly on the page, and how much exists in the "unseen" dimension of depth. The *differences* between the 3 rates of convergence however speaks to the way in which the form is oriented in space. As we turn the box on its vertical axis for instance, one set of edges will move towards converging more rapidly, while the other one will move towards converging less rapidly. To answer your question, no, there are absolutely situations where the rates of convergence between the different sets of edges will be entirely different, and we encountered such situations both in the rotated boxes exercise preceding this one, as well as when discussing rotation in this page of the lesson's lecture material: drawabox.com/lesson/1/8

    I watched the video, thought I understood it well, tried it...and drew a "box" with 8 sides 😭 and all of my boxes look like fucked up pyramids. Time for a rewatch.

    Second try was a lot better, but still my most awful so far. Remembering that that's not the point 🫠🫡 every bad box is a result of my tendency to rush and just spam out lines hoping to get a better one this time. This course is hard not because of the mechanics, but because it's so precise and the instructions are so clear I'm forced to face my own impatient and foolish tendencies again and again.

    So basically, using the Y method, we can apply the rule you said that goes "Each set of parallel edges converge to a vanishing point." especially here in 3 point perspective where no axes goes to the infinite vanishing point. Am I right?

  • @Uncomfortable

    Yes - or more accurately, the Y method specifically pushes students to focus on paying attention to how those sets of edges converge consistently, so it serves us well as an exercise.
