I second the feedback, and I want to also underline that the rotated boxes exercise should be finished. Only two boxes are missing, but they are undoubtedly the hardest ones, and arguably the ones that gives you the most practice!

It was a pleasure! I hope you find the feedback useful :)

Hi! I agree with the review. Just wanted to add two things:

1. I see in the submission two pages of the Rotated Boxes exercise, when only one is assigned in the homework. While I think both are looking great, it is important to only do the exercises as many times as assigned, so as not to grind. These exercises are going to become part of your warm-ups, so there is no need to do them over and over at this point.

2. I agree that doing one more page of the rough perspective with boxes of different sizes may be worthwhile, but I do not think the boxes should necessarily be overlapped. As long as you make them bigger to take more space in the page, I think that is enough. Also, try to extend the lines until they reach the horizon, even if they go through the other boxes. That way, you can correctly use them to know by how much you missed the vanishing point.

Hi! I am Juampy. I have just finished lesson 1 and am about to start with the 250 box challenge. So of course, take what I say with a grain of salt, as I am a beginner myself! I will try to give feedback following the official guide so as to make it as worthwhile for you as I possibly can.

Lines

The Superimposed Lines you made are looking good. You have fraying only in one of the sides, and the lines seems pretty confident overall. A few lines seem a little wobbly, but they are not as frequent, which suggests you are aiming for a confident, continuous stroke all the time. Your Ghosted Lines are super confident as well, and so are your Ghosted Planes. Well done with this part!

Ellipses

Looking at the Tables of Ellipses, you seem to be doing well. The ellipses are fitting snuggly against each other and the borders of the tables, you are drawing through them 2 to 3 times, and they are smoothly executed. The same seems to be the case with the Ellipses in Planes. In the Funnels exercise, some ellipses seem a little wobbly, but again, its not the norm. Your ellipses are touching the sides of the funnels correctly, and you are clearly aiming to align the ellipses to the central minor axis line, so you did well in this exercise as well!

Boxes

In the Plotted Perspective exercise, some of the back vertical lines are not perpendicular to the horizon. That is very likely due to the accumulation of human error as you were constructing the rest of the boxes and missing the vanishing points for a bit, but it is important that you know that they should be vertical in 2 point perspective. This is something that an official assistant also corrected in my own homework, and they suggested to try and find a middle ground between the to points instead of leaving the lines slanted. As I am reading the lesson again right now, this seems to be expected, but I wanted to bring it to your attention because it is one of the key ideas of the exercise.

In the Rough Perspective exercise, I think you did pretty well! I noticed that the lines seem a bit woobly and a little less confident than in you ghosted lines homework. Remember that in the executing part of the ghosting method, there is no more room for corrections, and making a confident line is more important than hitting the marks you made.

Following with your Rotated Boxes, you did a pretty good job! The boxes are rotated sufficiently well and close to each other. Nothing much to add here other than well done!

Finally, looking at your Organic Perspective homework, I think those boxes are also correct. They look like they belong together, and the rotations look mostly fine. I noticed again here that your lines seem just a tiny bit woobly. It is worth remembering to use the ghosting method as explained in the lessons: confidence is more important than accuracy.

Conclusion

Congratulations on making it through this lesson! It shows that you have put a lot of effort and read the instructions with patience and focus. Though some lines were a bit wobbly, I think that it is something you understand and just need to pay more attention to. Redoing an exercise because of this seems unnecessary, especially since your ghosted lines homework was well done.

Remember to add all of these exercises into your regular warm-ups as you continue with the following lessons and challenges, 10 to 15 minutes at the start of each sitting when working in Drawabox. Also, you should be following the 50% rule and continuing to do so!

Note: You made two pages of funnels, when only one was assigned to you. While this is probably something you just overlooked, I still wanted to remind you that you should not do more work than what is assigned in the lessons.

Thank you so much! I'll keep all of the feedback in mind for the warmup and the following lessons/challenges.

You've made clear some things I wasn't so sure about, which is great. Especially about the hatching, and the back vertical edges in the plotted perspective exercise. I thought we were expected to draw them slanted when the corners didn't line up, even if I knew they had to be perfectly vertical if I had done everything perfectly. I'll avoid it from now on when doing this exercise. Thanks!
