Hello Goobert, I'm Izebeq.
Congrats you've finished lesson 1 and probably already moving on the boxes challenge.
Saw your request on Discord and I want to point out something more about your work.
I can see you drew the lines confidently
You also plan the lines carefully as they started on the starting marks
You also have good accuracy. Most of the lines ended so close to the ending marks
You draw thru the ellipses as instructed
The ellipses are fluid and drawn smoothly, good job!
Once again, the boxes drawn confidently and I must praise that you have a very good accuracy
For rotated box, you miss the boxes on the outermost corner. https://imgur.com/a/Qxu90Pb
Some of the boxes don't converge, but you'll explore more of this in the boxes challenge anyway.
Overall you've done great, but I'll request you to add those corner.
Sorry I'm currently can't give you a very detailed one.
Feel free to ping me on Lesson 1 channel if you need any help.
Next Steps:
Complete the corners from rotating box
Hello, thank you for the feedback.
I appreciate the insight and will incorporate your advice in my next warm-ups.
I'll mark the homework as complete.
Good luck with the box challenge
Hello.
I've checked the revisions. Unfortunately the lines still wobbly. I'm sorry, but I have to ask another revision for rough perspective. Try to draw the line quickly and ghost several more times.
This time, you don't need to draw a full page. Just draw 1 set of them (1/3 page).
Try to draw them as straight as you can.
Next Steps:
1/3 page of rough perspective
I've checked them.
The ellipses in the funnel exercises are also drawn too many times (I'll let this one slide since you did great job with the revision). I must praise that you manage to fit the ellipses snuggly inside the funnel.
As for the revision, you manage to keep a consistent pace. Well done. I hope you can maintain that consistency in the future as well.
Now it's time to conquer those boxes. Take your time. This challenge is not meant to be done in a single night.
Next Steps:
250 boxes challenge
Hello, congratulation on finishing lesson 1. These homeworks also took days for me to finish and frustrating at times. But hey, you finished it, so big applause for your effort. I read your notes, so ok, I understand the situation, but I can't agree with the idea of rushing it, also don't redo the exercise unless you're asked to do so. Think of this course as a marathon. Rushing will make you burnt out faster. Now let's discuss your homework.
The lines are straight and confident, but fray on both sides. The way I see it, could be because you rushed because most lines in the first page are done perfectly but you got sloppier as you go. Take your time to carefully put the tip of your pen at the starting point.
For this exercise, you need to draw a guideline first using a ruler, and do the superimposed line using the guideline. You can check the instruction in this link https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/13/exercise
You draw them 2-3 times in the first page, good.
The ellipses fit snuggly inside the border and you fill the empty space as well.
The concern is by the end of the next page, you draw the ellipses too many time. Please avoid to do this in the future. Just 2-3 times is enough.
Funnels (I'm sorry, it seems the funnels is not attached)
Plotted Perspective
You use ruler as instructed. Good.
The horizontal lines are perpendicular to the horizon. Good.
The edges plotted toward the VPs correctly.
Also good job with the hatching. While hatching is optional, I highly recommend you to do it whenever you have the option to. If you decide to do it, make sure you plan the lines carefully, execute the lines using you shoulder and ghosting method. This will help you improve faster.
You follow the given instruction, good.
You estimate the edges accurately as most of the extention lines heading toward the VPs.
You lines are confident.
I notice you redraw some lines. Even when the lines didn't come as how we expect, please do not redraw them.
You nailed this one!!
You followed the given instruction. Good.
The gaps between the boxes are tight and consistent. Good.
Also good job with the hatching.
You did good with this one.
Also need to remind you not to redraw the line. If you make a mistake, let them be. If you hesitate to draw the line, ghost several more times.
I need you to resent the funnel exercise because I can't find it, and I'm gonna request revisions on superimposed lines (1 page) and table of ellipses (1 page).
This time, do not rush them. Take as much time as you need, carefully plan the lines, and do just as much as required.
Here I drop the link of the instruction for superimposed line and table of ellipses

If you find any of this unclear, you can ping me (@izebeq) in lesson 1 channel.
Next Steps:
Attach funnel exercise
1 page of table of ellipses
1 page of superimposed line
Hello, congratulation on finishing lesson 1. I checked your homework, and here's what I think of it
You draw the ellipses 2-3 times as instructed. Good. But I also found some ellipses only drawn once. when you do this exercise in the future, please make sure you draw the ellipses 2-3 times, no need to rush.
The ellipses fit snuggly inside the border and you fill the empty space as well.
The ellipses drawn smoothly and confidently. Good job.
You draw the ellipses 2-3 times as instructed. Good.
The ellipses fit snuggly inside the border.
The ellipses drawn smoothly and confidently. Good job.
You draw the ellipses 2-3 times as instructed. Good.
The ellipses fit snuggly inside the border.
The ellipses drawn smoothly and confidently. Good job.
The ellipses also align with the minor axis.
You use ruler as instructed. Good.
The horizontal lines are perpendicular to the horizon. Good.
The edges plotted toward the VPs correctly.
Also good job with the hatching. While hatching is optional, but I highly recommend you to do it whenever you have the chance to. If you decide to do it, make sure you plan the lines carefully, execute it using you shoulder and ghosting method. This will help you improve faster.
You follow the given instruction, good.
Most of the extensions lines heading toward the VPs, good job. It's almost impossible to make the extention lines hit the VPs perfectly.
The lines are wobbly. This can be a sign that you're hesitating or you focus on accuracy more than the confidence. It's totally fine if the lines overshoot/undershoot. The main goal is to draw a straight and confident line. Ghost several more times until you feel confident before you execute the line.
You followed the given instruction. Good.
The gaps between the boxes are tight and consistent. Good.
Good job with the hatching.
The rotated box is tricky indeed. You did good for first attempt.
Also in this exercise, the lines are wobbly.
I will request you to redo 1 page of the rough perspective. While I think you already understand the concept, but your lines starting to wobble a lot in the last exercises. You did perfectly with the ghosted plane, but the lines start to wobble from the rough perspective. Focus on making straight confident lines. Ghost several more times until you confident enough before executing the lines and try to experiment with the speed.
When you're done, send me the link of the revision in the reply.
If you find any of this unclear, you can ping me (@izebeq) in lesson 1 channel.
Next Steps:
Redo 1 page of rough perspective. Focus on making straight confident line.
Hello, congratulation on finishing lesson 1. I checked your homework, and here's what I think of it
The lines are straight and confident, but fray on both side, especially the curvy lines. This is something we want to avoid. Next time, please place the tip of the pen carefully at the starting point.
You can also check this link for a clearer instruction https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/superimposedlines/fraying
Good, for this one you carefully planned the lines as the lines start from the marks. The lines also straight and confident.
Overall, you did well. Some of the lines arch a little, some are a bit wobbly, but still okay.
You draw the ellipses 2-3 times as instructed. Good.
The ellipses fit snuggly inside the border and you fill the empty space as well.
The ellipses drawn smoothly and confidently. Good job.

Aren't these a bunch of beautiful ellipses. Good job on drawing such a smooth ellipses.
The ellipses touching the side of the funnel nicely.
The ellipses also align well with the minor axis.
You use ruler as instructed. Good.
The horizontal lines are perpendicular to the horizon. Good.
The edges plotted toward the VPs correctly.

I still suggest to add the hatching whenever you have the opportunity to.
The rotated box is tricky indeed. I can see some of the boxes rotate, while some others imply that you might be a bit unsure. You can take a look on the explanation here https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/rotatedboxes/notrotating Don't worry, I'm sure you will tackle this as you progress to the next challenge.
You use ghosting method as instructed.
some of the boxes are wonky, but I believe you will tackle this as you do the next challenge.
I initially planned to ask you to revise the rough perspective because of the wobbly lines, but since most of the lines from the other homework are done correctly, let's mark this as complete. I'm sure you will tackle your weakness as you progress through the boxes challenge.
Kindly remind to focus on the confidence more than the accuracy.
If you find any of this unclear, you can ping me (@izebeq) in lesson 1 channel.
Now go conquer those boxes!

Good luck with the 250 boxes challenge.
This recommendation is really just for those of you who've reached lesson 6 and onwards.
I haven't found the actual brand you buy to matter much, so you may want to shop around. This one is a "master" template, which will give you a broad range of ellipse degrees and sizes (this one ranges between 0.25 inches and 1.5 inches), and is a good place to start. You may end up finding that this range limits the kinds of ellipses you draw, forcing you to work within those bounds, but it may still be worth it as full sets of ellipse guides can run you quite a bit more, simply due to the sizes and degrees that need to be covered.
No matter which brand of ellipse guide you decide to pick up, make sure they have little markings for the minor axes.
