Drawing boxes
1yr
@gimmiki
I wanted to start practicing with boxes using an ink pen so I don’t try to fix any mistakes I make and to practice perspective. I see my lines are still lacking in confidence so that’s why I’m using a pen. Can anyone help me to improve my boxes and perspective? It would be appreciated!

Also just adding a community note, drawing actual boxes in front of you is great practice and a very traditional art school exercise! It can really start to make perspective feel more intuitive and real, and I think the study is great training on other levels as well - light and shadow (if you just have one light source), and observational drawing in general. Here are a couple of examples - I just use some random shoe boxes and amazon boxes of different sizes and set them up with a single light source. I drew these on newsprint with charcoal, but of course you can use whatever - pencil and sketchbook is great. This reminds me that I'm overdue for another round, I think this is one of those exercises that's always a great warm-up / tune-up.

Perspective mistakes are relatively easy to spot. Just take a ruler, extend the lines you drew, and see which lines are off.
