Congratulations on completing lesson 1! You're showing a good understanding of the concepts explored in the first lesson, and I can see a growing comfort with drawing confident lines from your first pages to your last pages.

Lines:

Your lines are really good, but things can get a little wobbly/scratchy when trying to construct boxes. I'd recommend focusing on ghosting your lines and drawing them confidently, the accuracy will come with time!

Ellipses:

This is a place where I struggle too, but I'd recommend ghosting your ellipses before drawing through them twice. You're doing a great job of drawing through, which makes it easy to see that they don't always line up with each other. I feel like this is a good thing! As with the lines, the accuracy will improve with time and practice.

Boxes:

I think you're doing a really nice job of constructing realistic boxes, but they can sometimes appear warped instead of rotated. This will surely improve dramatically over the 250 box challenge, which is where I'd advise you head from here!

Overall, great work, and congratulations again!

Thank you so much for your critique! This is really comprehensive and helpful, I appreciate you taking the time!

Lines

A lot of the superimposed lines fray from the starting point and the ending point, make sure you're starting the line and drawing it towards the ending point confidently! Even if you're way off from the ending point, the starting points should all be consistent. It also looks like there are a lot of scratchy marks on the page, if you're struggling with pens going out, it might be worth having some scratch paper to keep your page clean.

Ellipses

Many of the ellipses are only drawn through once, and some start to develop a bit of a bean shape. Focus on drawing through twice, even if you're way off, you'll be able to see how far away from your initial ellipses you're landing.

Boxes

Your rotated boxes look great! There are quite a few wobbly lines in the organic perspective exercise and I'd suggest focusing on ghosting lines and making a clear plan for each stroke that goes on the page.

Overall, great work! I'd say head towards the 250 box challenge, but emphasize warming up with very planned, precise lines.

Lines:

It looks like the starting points of your lines start to fray more and more the further down the page you get- The first few lines (near what I'm assuming is the top of the page, where you started) have normal fraying at the end, but further down I get the sense that it was a bit more rushed.

Ellipses:

A lot of these ellipses aren't drawn through a full two times, especially the ones drawn on the ghosted planes. It also looks like the smaller ellipses are drawn through more times than the larger ones.

Boxes:

I'm jealous of your rotated boxes exercise, mine is a mess! The rough perspective exercise looks like it has quite a few wobbly lines, When I got to this point I felt like I was rushing through some things and not ghosting my lines as thoroughly as I should be.
