Hey there!

First off, I wanna say congrats on finishing the lesson! Drawabox can be pretty rigoruous but you persevered and made your first milestone.

Now to the critique: Overall you did great. I can see you used your arm and made confident strokes on the assignments. The 2nd page of the planes look a little wobbly though, so be careful not to rush to finish a page (even though it's tempting). Your ellipses look good, nothing much to say there. You're rotated boxes looks a little rough on the left side, but don't worry! It's an extremely hard excercise. Try doing it again as a warmup later as you progress. Some of your boxes diverge in the last excercise, but you'll get plenty of practice during the 250 box challenge.

And with that I'd say you're ready to move on. Be sure to pace yourself in the 250 box challenge and take breaks. Remember the 50 percent rule from Lesson 0!

Hey Zetsy! Let's see here:

Did you do all of the homework on paper with a 0.50 mm pen? My first impressions are these are digital because your strokes seem pretty light on every page. If so, I would suggest doing these again traditionally as this course focuses on that medium. If these are on paper with a pen, just make sure you're using a 0.50 mm pen before moving on.

Looks like a lot of your lines for the planes excercise are overextending past their points. Be sure to be using the ghosting method and not make your stroke too fast: You want each line to be made confidently and carefully (It takes time to find the right flow of making a stroke, dont worry).

The rotated boxes excercise is good! The top half looks a little shakey, but this assignment is really tough, so I'm more just letting you know then critiquing you. Be sure to tackle it every now and then as a warmup.

Your ellipses are good! Nothing much for me to say there.

Overall, I think you're ready to move on to the 250 Box Challenge*! Be sure to pace yourself and have fun while your grinding through it to avoid burnout (50 percent rule).

*If Lesson 1 was done on paper with a pen (I believe Uncomfortable says he allows ballbpoint for this lesson alone if you can't find a fineliner pen)

** For the revisions just respond if you did Lesson 1 traditionally or digitally

I have yet to complete Lesson 2 so I cant critique this, but your submissions look incredible!

I've noticed some more confidence in my lines as well after completing the 250 box challenge! Drawing final lines doesnt feel as daunting as it was before :D

:D Thanks!! I really appreciate your help, one of the best critiques I've ever gotten. Now I'm off to Lesson 2!

Ohh ok ^^;;

Here's step 2:

My bad, I did shallow for the first step when you said dramatic, didnt I? >.

I messed up on the very last one where the VPs should be way off the page... >.<

Thanks again for helping me out!

I think most of the mistakes are coming from curved lines or one of the faces (that us the viewer are seeing) have an edge be a tad longer than the other edges.

But it's your first 50 so I'd say just watch out for those 2 things as you keep going!

Alright, thanks for the critique!
