    Hi Stundex,

    • Superimposed Lines: Lines done with confidence which is good, but be careful to align your pen to the line's starting point to minimize fraying. It looks good overall.

    • Ghosted Lines: Looks good, but some of them slightly arching, be aware about that and try keeping the lines straight.

    • Ghosted Planes: Same with ghosted lines.

    • Table of Elipses: Accuracy is good and the elipses fit tightly, but some of them is wobbly. You should prioritize smoothness over accuracy, make sure you ghosting sufficiently and draw confidently. Also draw around the ellipse two or three times before lifting your pen. Two is ideal, but three is also acceptable. More than that is excessive, and excessive is not good, try to avoid that.

    • Elipses in Planes: The elipses are less wobbly and you draw it more confidently, nice. There are some elipses with excessive line though, you should try to avoid that.

    • Funnels: The elipses aligned nicely, good work. Watch out for wobbly elipses.

    • Plotted Perspective: Looks really great.

    • Rough Perspective: Some of the lines wobble a bit, make sure to plan and ghost your line sufficiently and draw it confidently. Everything else is good. Nice job.

    • Rotated Perspective: Some of the lines wobble a bit here too. Other than that, it looks really clean and the boxes rotated nicely.

    • Organic Perspective: Some of the lines wobble a bit here as well. There are a few perspective issue such as lines not converging, but you can refine that in 250 box challenge.

    Congratulations for completing lesson 1! Glhf next :)

    Next Steps:

    • Do the 250 box challenge.

    • Do the exercises from lesson 1 (such as ghosted lines and especially elipses) as 10-15 min warm up before drawing.

    Thank you for your feedback. I'll surely check yours.

The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
PureRef

PureRef

This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.

When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.

Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
