It looks much cleaner, great job! There is still a slight wobble to your lines, so try to keep in mind the idea that confidence is better than accuracy as you move on. Some tips that can help would be to practice using your shoulder as opposed to your wrist when you draw (for Uncomfortable's explanation on how to do this check out https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/2). No need to re-do the exercises again but do practice this during your warmups.

I'm a bit confused when it comes to the last exercise (the one you used pencil for). It's marked as plotted perspective but it doesn't seem like you used a ruler. Perhaps you confused it with rough perspective? Either way, here are the instructions https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/plottedperspective.

Don't worry too much about how good your boxes turn out for now, the most important thing is that you understand the exercise and follow the instructions to the best of your abilities. You'll get a lot more practice with boxes (and therefor more comfortable with them) once you start the 250 box challenge.

In general, try to be more careful when reading the notes and completing the exercises. From what I can tell, some of the exercises seem a bit rushed and messy. One thing that stand out in particular is your marks tend to be quite wobbly. Really try to prioritize making smooth confident strokes even if they miss your intend mark instead of trying to be as accurate as possible and ending up with wobbly strokes. Uncomfortable explains it better than me https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/3/smooth. I'll also give you some feedback on some of the specific exercises.

Lines Section : There is quite a lot of fraying on both ends on the superimposed line exercise. Before making any mark try to pay close attention to where you want it to start and where you want it to end. Try to concentrate more on making confident lines rather than creating cool designs in the ghosted lines exercise. There are some repeating lines in the first page of the planes exercise but it seems like you fix this on the second page so good job on that.

Ellipses Section : I'd suggest rereading the notes for the funnel exercise. Make sure you draw through your ellipses and try to get their minor axis to align with the horizontal line you drew. If you're having trouble getting the horizontal and vertical line to be centered in your curves, try drawing the curves first and then drawing the horizontal line as centered as you can between them.

Boxes Section : Make sure to draw through your boxes in every exercise (except organic perspective where it's optional). Also keep the lines that form the front faces of your boxes horizontal and vertical in plotted perspective (don't rotate your boxes). It's cool that you experimented with other shapes in the plotted perspective type exercise but I would post that separately from the rest of the homework. You can do this directly on Drawabox by posting in your sketchbook.

Sorry for the late rely. Don't be afraid to make your boxes big, especially those that are closest to the "viewer". If you take a look at the example by Uncomfortable you can really see the difference in size between the boxes that are close up and those that are farther away. If you feel like you didn't fully grasp the exercise, try redoing it. Don't stress to much about it, you'll get plenty of practice drawing boxes in all sorts of angles with the 250 box challenge.

Hi, overall you seem to understand the concepts presented and are able to apply them :).

1. Lines Section : As you will mostly likely hear repeated over and over on Drawabox, it is very important to prioritize confidence over accuracy when it comes to making any type of mark on a page. Your super imposed lines have quite a bit of wobble to them especially the page with the blue ink. Try to focus on creating confident strokes that are as straight as possible even if they completely miss the intended end point. Taking your time and being mindful of the strokes you make also helps to create cleaner and more accurate lines. One thing I notice is that you have a tendency to repeat your lines (in the other exercises as well). Try to avoid this. While it is very tempting to redo a line that didn't come out quite right, the point of these exercises isn't to create something perfect but to learn the fundamental ideas that are crucial for drawing.

2. Ellipse Section : When drawing ellipse, try to limit the time you go over it to 2 or 3. It seems like you did more for some of them. Great job on the funnel exercise!

3. Box Section : If ever you redo the rough perspective exercise, I'd say to draw fewer boxes per section. It would make the whole cleaner and easier to understand. For the organic perspective, I wouldn't worry about it too much. It's a hard exercise and your not expected to do it perfectly. The only thing I'll say is that you could've played around more with the size of the boxes, especially those that are closest to the viewer. Making the boxes larger would add to the illusion that the series of boxes is receding into space.

Sorry for replying so late. Yes, I meant to right that they don't align with the minor axis.

Best of luck with the rest of Drawabox!

Overall looks good! The only things I would say is that in the Funnels exercise, some of the ellipses are completely aligned with the minor axis. This is normal, of course, but it's just something to keep in mind if you choose to incorporate the exercise into your warm up.

Also, in the organic perspective exercise, it seems that you sometimes redo your lines. Try not to do this (unless you're going over the lines to add thickness). Instead of redo lines that didn't come out very accurate, take your time plotting the lines and ghosting them. This will increase the chances of the line coming out how you want it.

Looks good. One thing I notice is that you seem to over shoot lines quite a bit, so watch out for that.

Hi, it's cool that you decided to take drawing seriously :). Overall, your work looks good.

The superimposed lines, ghosted lines and ghosted planes all look good. The only thing I would say is to watch out for wobbly lines. As you will probably here many times on Drawabox, prioritize confidence over accuracy. Which means don't worry about your line being completely off as long as it was done confidently avoiding any wobbling. Also in the ghosted planes exercise, it seems that you didn't put start and end points for the cross section lines. While it may have seemed like there was a need for doing it, it's always good to mark were you want the line to start and end.

For the table of ellipses, ellipses in planes and funnels, again they're a bit wobbly. Make sure to try to draw them with a smooth, consistent stroke even if each pass doesn't overlap exactly with the previous one.

Lastly, for the rough perspective and organic perspective, make sure not to repeat lines. I know resisting the urge to correct an especially off line can be hard but the point is not be make a perfect drawing. Putting start and end points and taking the time to use the ghosting method will increase your chances of making a good line but even after doing these steps it can still turn out wrong, and that's ok.

Also don't worry to much about the rotated boxes, it's a difficult exercise. Most people mess it up and that's sorta the point.

Overall it looks good! The line exercises look good, especially the ghosted lines.

When it comes to the ellipses, remember that confidence is more important than accuracy. Don't worry to much about how thick or thin your ellipses are right now and focus more on the keeping them smooth and even.

I noticed in some of the boxes of the rough perspective exercise, one of the back lines heads way off into the distance but other than that it looks good.

When it comes to the boxes in the organic perspective, make sure to make the all lines in a set of parallel lines converge more or less towards their vanishing point. The 250 box challenge will help a lot with this.

Thank you! I also noticed that sometimes I'm not super mindful about each line. I'll keep that in mind as I continue practicing.
