How has it been almost a month since my last post?

I swear I've been doing art. It's just ... not really been good enough to share. Just lots of scribbles and kiddie drawings (following along with a "how to draw" tutorial video that is aimed at little kids is my happy place, very chill) and boxes. So. Many. Boxes. I'm determined to finish the "250 Boxes Challenge" even though it's not going particularly well.

I did watch a sketchbook tour from someone else who was doing the challenge and the guy was so proud of how much his boxes had improved and I'm like, "But your boxes are wrong! Your lines aren't converging properly!" (I didn't say any of this to anyone. This was just the critic in my head.) And I think maybe I might be taking this concept of the lines perfectly converging on the same vanishing point too literally. So I need to learn to chill just a little. Which is maybe the point of doing so many boxes? Because it's inevitable that you hit the "screw it, good enough" stage?

Anyway, the current plan is to count up to 300, because I feel like the first 50 boxes that I did months ago don't count toward building muscle memory and hand-eye coordination. If I can do 8 to 9 boxes a day, I can bang this thing out in February and move on to the next next annoying challenge.

I finished box #106 yesterday.
