    Thank you for your answer ! I'll make sure to spend some time working on those wing textures !

    Thanks for your review and taking the time for that detailed answer !

    I tried to follow your advices with this new plant !

    I wobbled a bit on the pot, sorry for that...

    Hi, good job on going through lesson 1 !

    Lines

    -Your lines only have fraying on one end, which is the right thing to do

    -Your ghosted lines are straighter than your superimposd lines

    -Your planes too, nothing to say on them. You overshot some, which is prefered over trying to get the perfect length while having a wobbly line.

    Ellipses

    -Your ellpises in planes ar edrawn through, and you visibly attempte to keep them in planes, which is good.

    • Your tables of ellipses are quite close to each other, which is important.

    • Your funnels' ellipses are aligned with the axis, while they snuggle in, whivh is intended.

    Boxes

    -Your plotted perspective seems good, as it respects the told instructions.

    -Rough perspective has some lines that you went over again, and your lines look less straight than on exercise 1. Keep in mind that it is more important to have straight lines than lines of the good size for the future.

    -Your rotated boxes are good, apart for some boxes which should have been a bit more rotated

    -Your organic perspective have dramatic forshortening for some of them, try to avoid doing so in your 250 boxes.

    I'll mark your lesson as complete, but keep in mind that your lines should prioritize confidence over being precise, and try to avoid dramatic forshortening !

    Next Steps:

    The 250 boxes challenge !

    When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

    Hi, congrats on making it through lesson 1 !

    Lines

    Even though your superimposed lines had a bit of a wobble (maybe you tried to correct the trajectory, maybe it was simply becuse it was your first time drawing with this method), you showed with the ghosted lines and the ghosted planes that you quickly learned the method to make straight lines, even if they are not all perfect, which is very good !

    Ellipses

    Your drawings show that you draw throuh your elipses, while trying in the table of ellipses and the ellipses in plane to keep them snuggled. They are aligned in the funnel exercise, which is very good !

    Boxes

    Your plotted perspective looks good, your rough perspective too. Your rotated boxes follow the instructions well, so does your organic perspective. I would be aware that your organic perspective exercise has some dramatic forshortening, try to avoid making your boxes too dramatic for the 250 boxes challenge !

    Next Steps:

    Proceed to the 250 boxes chalenge !

    Hi, good job on going through lesson 1 !

    Your superomposed line don't have much fraying on both end, which is good. Try to focus a bit more on starting a stroke from the correct starting point, and it should be better in the future !

    Your ghosted lines are good overall, though a bit wobbly at time. However, this seems to improve as you kept going through the exercises, whihc is good. Remember, it is better to draw a confident straight line that misses just a bit the goal than a wobbly line that reaches the goal, but won't be as straight.

    Your tables of ellipses seem good : you drew through your ellpises 2-3 times, they seem to fit well in the tables, and while the first page has a few elipses that are a bit off-placed/a bit uneven, the second page doesn't have those as much.

    Nothing to say on ghosted planes :some strokes aren't straight, but this is improved later on, which is good. The elipses fit well in the planes and are drawn through, despite a few being oddly shaped on the first page. The second page elipses are a bit better.

    The funnels seem good to me : the elipses are drawn through, touch the sides of the elipse, and are aligned with the mnor axis.

    Plotted perspective is also good, nothing to say about it, other than you did very well on that one !

    Your rough perspective seems good, but this time, it is more visible that your lines aren't drawn as confidently as they should : some lines are wobbly, but reach the intended goal.

    Rotated boxes seems to be correct. It would have been better if the last few boxes that would have "closed" the full object would have been drawn, but since you made it bigger than usual, it won't matter as much.

    As for the organic perspective, There are two points that could be improved : the ghosting method (some lines are still wobbly), and making boxes less dramatic (some of them have a weird angle, making for both extended and compressed faces on the same object.)

    I'll mark this lesson as compltete, but try to make sure that you use the ghosting method in the future, as it is one of the most important point of lesson 1, and using it is required for the rest of drawabox's course.

    Next Steps:

    The 250 boxes exercises !

    Make sure to add the exercises from lesson 1 to your warmup exercises pool !

    Many thanks for your review ! I'll make sure to keep training those exercises while pursuing with the next lssons !

    Hello, good job on finishing lesson 1 !

    Your superimposed lines don't have fraying on both end of the line, which is good. There is a bit of arching in some lines, but the problems has been solved in the ghosted lines.

    Your ghosted planes are well done : the lines are drawn with confidence from the shoulder (there's just a bit of undershooting/overshooting in some lines, but you'll be able to improve this point during the 250 boxes challenge).

    As for the table of ellipse and the ellipses in plane, those are drawn with confidence, as there is no wobbling, which is good, but some ellipses aren't in bound of the space they're in. Your ellipses snug well in funnels, which is improvement !

    Some lines aren't drawn as confidently as before in rough perspective. It's completely fine, as you'll be training this skill during the 250 boxes challenge.

    The perspective and rotation on rotated boxes are overall well drawn.

    The different rotations in organic perspective are good, some problems with perspective from time to time but nothing too problematic.

    As a reminder, you can use line weight by ghosting once outer lines of boxes to improve perspective and make i easier to see which part of the box is the front and which one is the back. This method will be used in the next lessons, starting with the 250 boxes.

    I'll mark this lesson as complete. Have fun with the 250 box challenge !

    Hello, good job on finishing the first lesson !

    To begin, I'll say that your lines on the ghosting method only fray on one end of the line, which is good. There's a bit of arching and wobbling in some lines, but this issue can be corrected with practice over time. Sometimes, you also tend to overshoot/undershoot lines, which results in some lines being a bit too short or too long. However, you'll have plenty of time to improve during the 250 boxes challenge.

    Some ellipses in planes and in the tables aren't touching the border of the planes.

    There's improvement in the funnels, where almost all of the ellipses are in bound of the funnel and next to each other (as a side note, the minor axis (the middle line) is not always everytime, so try to pay attention to it.)

    On rough perspectives, lines are well oriented, which is good !

    Your rotated boxes looks great ! (The only issue being the boxes not symmetrical to the line going up, but it's a minor problem)

    Your lines have less arching in organic perspective, which shows improvement and is a great point.

    As a side note, you can use lightweight to show more clearly which side of the box is in the front and in the back, by ghosting once the line you which to emphasize. This technique will be used in the future lessons.

    Overall, you did a great job and I'll mark this lesson as complete. Have fun with the 250 boxes !
