Super-Imposed/ Lines: There is some fraying but that is expected. Confidence is showing through over accuracy. Accuracy will come with time.

Ghosted lines/planes: Always start on the first dot which is fantastic there's some arcing in some of the lines but the lines don't overshoot the second point by much or undershoot which is good and they land in the general area. On the planes your lines look slightly less confident. Theres also some extra lines on the page not sure if from ghosting with pen too close to paper or trying to redo a line after giving up half way through it.

Ellipses: Nice tight lines though some look like you might have gone around 1.5 times aim for 2-3. Ghost a few more times to be more confident. Also some of the ellipses don;t reach the edges they look a little better on the planes. Nice minor axis awareness on the funnels.

Rough Perspective: Good job with the horizontal and veritical lines for all the boxes.. Theres some wobble, not a lot here, but this exercise gets difficult when you try to be confident but accurate at the same time. The 250 Box challenge will help.

Rotated Boxes: The rotation is good! The spacing may be too tight as the corner boxes got lost but nice job.

Organic Boxes: Good job with the larger to smaller. Some of the lines aren't parallel however the 250 box challenge again will give lots of practice. Also saw some redoing of the lines. Don't do this.

Hello,

Your superimposed lines look good for a start. Not many random bumps and it is pretty consistent with some fraying at the end but that is expected as it is the first lesson. Time will improve that. Be careful of the lines that do fray at both ends though. This is an indication that you aren't taking the time to place the pen at the initial start and are just putting it near and going "good enough" take the time to be deliberate.

For the ghosted lines, same thing with the lines that miss both dots. The only reason both dots will be missed is the time isn't being taken to place the pen where it needs to be to start. I'm getting the sense that you are practicing drawing both from left to right and right to left on the page. Choose the more comfortable one and be consistant.

Planes and Ellipses in planes. It looks like you are better at hitting your mark on the planes no significant wobble and your lines look confident. The ellipses aren't too consistent between the first drawing and the second go around but that will come with practice.

Table of Ellipses. Same comment about second go around not being super close to the first but it is already improving. Make sure when you are ghosting you are ghosting the ellipses up to the edges not just practicing circular movement. Be aware of the ellipses not hitting the boundaries of their "box".

Funnels. Your ellipses have already started to improve on their tightness with the second go. Funnels look good, there isn't much is any degree change but that bit was optional. Implement it in warmups.

Plotted perspective looks good.

Rough perspective, good initial go. You have pretty good groupings near the mark only a few that are way off. Ghosting will help those few get even closer.

Rotated boxes. I'm impressed. I don't have much to say/advice to give on this one.

Organic perspective. Pretty good. The few boxes not on the line and kinda floating around hurt the persective part for me. and make it look more 2D. In the second frame there are really small boxes mixed with the big boxes that also gave more of a flat perspective to me as it didn't help the bog boxes close to small boxes far narritive.

DaB is a pretty intensive course and requires a lot of concentration, so 1 page of exercise per day is a good pace to start with. I've been doing that since I started DaB (I've finished Lesson 1 and currently doing 250 Boxes) and it's just about right for me. If I'm feeling fresh and not worn out by that 1 page, I'll do 2 pages, but that's maximum.

Uncomfortable's 50% rule is also a great rule-of-thumb:

Every art session I do, I try to make it half DaB, and half my own art for fun. Sometimes I only have time in the day/evening to do a DaB exercise, but that means the next day I'll start off doing fun art for that session. With my life schedule and responsibilities, and doing fun art, I usually manage 1 page of DaB exercise per day anyway.

If DaB exercises are the only drawing you're doing at all, you're probably grinding and ought to slow down, especially if you're determined to do DaB (and art in general) for the long haul. The 50% rule is less of a "rule" than about developing a mindset of enjoying the art process. Learning is frustrating and DaB lessons are tough, so that frustration has to be balanced out with fun, or we'll all burn out. Grinding runs the risk of you developing an "art = frustrating" mindset. While art can be frustrating, you don't want to lose the sense that "art = fun" too.

I guess you have to reflect on how you're approaching your art. If you find that you're getting worn out or fixated on DaB exercises, you're probably rushing and it's best to slow down.
