Totally understandable, they're hard to see for sure. Regardless, you did an impressive work.

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.

1. Lines

• 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

2. Ellipses

• You draw thru the ellipses as instructed

• The ellipses are fluid and drawn smoothly, good job!

3. Boxes

• 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.

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.

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.

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.

1. Superimposed Line

• 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

2. Ghosted Line

• Good, for this one you carefully planned the lines as the lines start from the marks. The lines also straight and confident.

3. Ghosted Plane

• You did well with this one. The lines are straight and confident.

4. Table of Ellipses

• 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.

5. Ellipses in Plane

• In this exercise you also draw the ellipses too many time. I understand the struggle, ellipses are hard indeed, but overdoing it will not give you a better result.

6. Funnels (I'm sorry, it seems the funnels is not attached)

7. 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.

8. Rough Perspective

• 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.

9. Rotated Box

• 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.

10. Organic Perspective

• 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.

If you find any of this unclear, you can ping me (@izebeq) in lesson 1 channel.

Hello, congratulation on finishing lesson 1. I checked your homework, and here's what I think of it

1. Superimposed Line

• Most of the lines are straight and only fraying only at one side, which is good.

2. Ghosted Line

• Most of the lines are straight. Some of them a bit wobbly, but overall still ok.

3. Ghosted Plane

• You're getting better! Most of the lines are straight and confident.

4. Table of Ellipses

• 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.

5. Ellipses in Plane

• 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.

6. Funnels

• 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.

7. 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, 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.

8. Rough Perspective

• 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.

9. Rotated Box

• 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.

10. Organic Perspective

• The lines are getting better but still a bit 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.

Hello, congratulation on finishing lesson 1. I checked your homework, and here's what I think of it

1. Superimposed Line

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

2. Ghosted Line

Good, for this one you carefully planned the lines as the lines start from the marks. The lines also straight and confident.

3. Ghosted Plane

Overall, you did well. Some of the lines arch a little, some are a bit wobbly, but still okay.

4. Table of Ellipses

• 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.

5. Ellipses in Plane

• 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.

6. Funnels

• 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.

7. 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, 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.

The main goal is to draw a straight and confident line. Ghost several more times until you feel confident before you execute the line.

9. Rotated Box

• You followed the given instruction. Good.

• The gaps between the boxes are tight and consistent. Good.

• 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.

10. Organic Perspective

• 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!
