    First of all, congrats on completing your first Lesson! There's so much more to ~~ suffer~~ learn ahead, but before any of that, here's my thoughts:

    1) Lines

      A) *Superimposed Lines*
    
      -  Overall, the lines appear to be smooth and confident, with only a bit of an arching towards the middle.
    
      -  The horizontal/vertical lines lack fraying at both ends, unlike a couple of the curved lines. Make sure to place your pen at the start of every line before drawing. 
    
      - A good way to deal with arching lines (even while using the shoulder pivot) is to consciously try to "bend" the line towards the opposite direction.
    
      B) *Ghosted Lines*
    
      - Very confident and with little arching. 
    
      - I see that you tried to repeat a line a couple of times, yet due to your issues regarding the pen, I'll give the benefit of the doubt. Just remember that the priority of these exercises is being confident sketching the lines over being "right".
    
      - No wobbling, very good. 
    
      C) *Ghosted Planes/Ellipses*
    
      - Overall, pretty good. You plotted your lines in every plane and the ellipses were drawn with confidence.
    
      - The lines lack wobbling and has little arching. 

    2) Ellipses

        - A) *Table of Ellipses*
    
        - Ok, most of the ellipses were plotted with the intention of being consistent rather than reaching the borders, good.
    
        - A few of the ellipses appear to be deformed or don't match the appearance of the rest of their respective columns. I suggest taking your time while ghosting.
    
        - B) *Funnels*
    
        - The minor axis (line right in the middle) cuts all of the ellipses by half as it should be.
    
        - There isn't much angle/degree change of the ellipses as they move away from the center. I suggest you check out how Uncomfortable describes how the ellipses look like when changing their angles/degrees from the viewer in Lesson 1. 

    3) Boxes

     - A) *Plotted Perspective*
    
     -  No comments. Good job!
    
     - B) *Rough Perspective*
    
     - Perspective estimates are ok, and most of the boxes are aligned near the VP (Vanishing Point) as it should be.
    
     - There's wobbling and lines being repeated.
    
     - As a reminder, width lines should be parallel to the horizon (the middle line), while height lines should be perpendicular to it. Keep that in mind for any future exercises. 
    
     - Line correction appears alright. Most of the lines center near the VP.
    
     - C) *Rotated Boxes*
    
     - You did better than I did as aside from a couple of chicken scratching then are there, the proportions appear alright with the spaces between boxes being tight and consistent. 
    
     - D) *Organic Perspective *
    
     -  Very clean/smooth line marking
    
     -  The 3D perspective of the boxes fit the requirements, with the objects farther away from the viewer appearing smaller and becoming bigger as it approaches.

    Next Steps:

    • Work on the 50% rule while your homework gets the second agree, and then hop on the 250 Box challenge to master plotting lines in a 3D space.

How to Draw by Scott Robertson

When it comes to technical drawing, there's no one better than Scott Robertson. I regularly use this book as a reference when eyeballing my perspective just won't cut it anymore. Need to figure out exactly how to rotate an object in 3D space? How to project a shape in perspective? Look no further.
