Thanks so much Beckerito :takeNRG:

Hi Jaaan, congrats on finishing Lesson 1.

Lines

1. Your lines fray at only one end, which is great. This means you took patience and care in starting your line correctly. Accuracy will come with with time.

2. In the ghosted lines exercise, your lines are drawn confidently with very little wobbling. This is great, it shows that you are using the ghosting method correctly and learning to draw from the shoulder. At this stage, it matters less that you miss the dots, because confidence should be prioritised over accuracy at the moment.

3. In the ghosted planes exercise, you took care to place dots before drawing your lines. I can see that your line accuracy has visibly improved, compared to the beginning. Good job. I also like how much work you put into ensuring that your planes varied in size and orientation.

Ellipses

1. You drew through your ellipses 2 or 3 times, which is good for building confidence and consistency.

2. In the ellipse tables section, your ellipses consistently touch each other. However, some of your ellipses do not touch the bounds of your tables. You will improve at this as you get used to ghosting your ellipses. I see very little wobbling in your lines here, which is excellent. Remember that confidence and smoothness are prioritised over accuracy here. Some of your ellipses do not stay the same shape from one to the other either. This is something you will improve at over time.

3. In the funnels section, your minor axes accurately bisect your ellipses into 2 symmetric halves. I can also see that you took care to vary the degree of your ellipses. Well done.

Boxes

1. In the plotted perspective exercise, you drew your boxes cleanly and added line weight correctly to their silhouettes. Good job.

2. In the rough perspectives exercise, you were careful to draw width lines parallel to the horizon and height lines perpendicular to the horizon. Your lines were ghosted confidently and with greater accuracy than before, which shows clear improvement. Some of your lines wobbled, but this will improve over time.

3. In the rotated boxes exercise, you kept the corners between your boxes very close, which is excellent. However, some of the boxes in your outermost corners were rotated so severely that they were no longer visible. This is something you will improve on as you move into the 250 boxes challenge.

4. In the organic perspectives exercise, you made good effort to vary the rotation and size of your boxes to create the illusion of depth, which is very good. I can see that you varied the size of your boxes more dramatically on the 2nd page too, which shows progress.

It is clear to me that you understood the exercises. You've showed improvement over the course of Lesson 1. I'll go ahead and mark this as complete, so you can move on with the 250 boxes exercise.

Hi LovishGarg, congrats on finishing Lesson 1.

Ellipses

1. You drew through your ellipses 2 or 3 times, which is good for building confidence and consistency.

2. In the ellipse tables section, some of your ellipses do not stay within the bounds of your tables, and some ellipses do not consistently touch each other. However, I see very little wobbling in your lines here, which is excellent. Remember that confidence and smoothness are prioritised over accuracy here. Some of your ellipses do not stay the same shape from one to the other either. This is something you will improve at over time.

3. In the funnels section, your minor axes accurately bisect your ellipses into 2 symmetric halves. I can also see that you took care to keep the degree of your ellipses consistent. Well done.

4. Note that you only needed to submit 1 page of the funnels exercise. There is no need to redo your pages, even if you are dissatisfied; you will improve on them as you progress along the lessons. Also, you can always revisit them in future lessons as warm-up exercises if you desire.

Boxes

1. In the plotted perspective exercise, you drew your boxes cleanly. Good job.

2. In the rough perspectives exercise, you were careful to draw width lines parallel to the horizon and height lines perpendicular to the horizon. Your lines were ghosted confidently and with greater accuracy than before, which shows clear improvement. Some of your lines wobbled, but this will improve over time. Note that there is no need to cross out your boxes, even if you make mistakes; mistakes are okay.

3. In the rotated boxes exercise, you kept the corners between your boxes very close, which is excellent. However, some of the boxes in your outermost corners were not rotated sufficiently. This is something you will improve on as you move into the 250 boxes challenge.

4. You are missing 2 pages of the organic perspectives exercise. Please submit that for review before I mark your Lesson 1 as complete.

It is clear to me that you understood the exercises. You've showed improvement over the course of Lesson 1. Remember to prioritise confidence over accuracy, and trust that you will improve over time. Best of luck with the remaining 2 pages.

Hi NonStopMop, congrats on finishing Lesson 1.

This is great, it shows that you are using the ghosting method correctly and learning to draw from the shoulder. At this stage, it matters less that you miss the dots, because confidence should be prioritised over accuracy as you get used to ghosting lines and drawing from your shoulder.

3. In the ghosted planes exercise, you took care to place dots before drawing your lines. I can see that your line accuracy has visibly improved, compared to the beginning. Good job.

Ellipses

1. You drew through your ellipses 2 or 3 times, which is good for building confidence and consistency.

2. Excellent work in the ellipse tables section, making sure that your ellipses stay within the bounds of your tables, and that all of your ellipses consistently touch each other. However, I can see some wobbling in your lines here, which shows that you may be correcting your line while you are drawing it. Remember that confidence and smoothness are prioritised over accuracy here. Some of your ellipses do not stay the same shape from one to the other either. This is something you will improve at over time.

3. In the funnels section, your minor axes accurately bisect your ellipses into 2 symmetric halves. Well done.

Boxes

1. In the plotted perspective exercise, note that you were supposed to draw lines to the horizon with a ruler. You also added too much line weight to the silhouette of your boxes, which was not necessary.

2. In the rough perspectives exercise, you were careful to draw width lines parallel to the horizon and height lines perpendicular to the horizon. Your lines were ghosted confidently and with greater accuracy than before, which shows clear improvement.

3. Note that both the plotted perspective and rough perspective exercises ask for 3 panels on each page, instead of 1 panel per page — so do be more careful reading instructions in the future.

4. In the rotated boxes exercise, you kept the corners between your boxes very close, which is excellent. However, some of the boxes in your outermost corners were not rotated. This is something you will improve on as you move into the 250 boxes challenge. Also, adding hatched lines to the sides of your boxes could have helped you understand how the boxes interact with each other in space better.

5. Note that the organic perspective exercise also asks for 3 panels on each page. You made good effort to vary the rotation and size of your boxes to create the illusion of depth, which is very good. I can see that you varied the size of your boxes more dramatically on the 2nd page too, which shows good progress.

It is clear to me that you understood the exercises. You've showed improvement over the course of Lesson 1. I'll go ahead and mark this as complete, so you can move on with the 250 boxes exercise.

3. In the funnels section, your minor axes accurately bisect your ellipses into 2 symmetric halves.

Boxes

1. In the rough perspectives exercise, you were careful to draw width lines parallel to the horizon and height lines perpendicular to the horizon. Some of your lines are not straight here. This is a hard task so it is understandable, just take note to keep drawing confidently from your shoulder and you will improve in the future.

2. In the rotated boxes exercise, you kept the corners between your boxes very close, which is excellent. However, some of the boxes in your outermost corners were not rotated. This is something you will improve on as you move into the 250 boxes challenge.

3. In the organic perspective exercise, you made good effort to vary the rotation and size of your boxes to create the illusion of depth, which is very good. I can see that you improved in varying the size of your boxes in the 2nd page, which shows good progress.

1. Note that the plotted perspective exercise asks for 3 panels of plotted boxes on a single page — be more careful reading instructions in the future!

   2. In the rough perspectives exercise, you were careful to draw width lines parallel to the horizon and height lines perpendicular to the horizon. Some of your lines are not straight here. This is a hard task so it is understandable, just take note to keep drawing confidently from your shoulder and you will improve in the future.

   3. In the rotated boxes exercise, you kept the corners between your boxes very close, which is excellent. However, some of the boxes in your outermost ring were not rotated. This is something you will improve on as you move into the 250 boxes challenge.
