So, I'll be grading your homework today.

Superimposed Lines: I see a lot of fraying on both sides here on the first page, but your second is better. The curving lines on both look great. Your lines aren’t wobbly either. Overall, you did a good job here.

Ghosted Lines: No arcing or wobbling to be found here. Again, good job.

Ellipses in Planes: You have some lines that wobble a bit, but they’re fine for the most part. Your ellipses don't quite touch all sides, but that's an accuracy thing that'll resolve with practice.

Tables of Ellipses: These all look good too. Drawn through twice like Uncomfortable asked, fitting snugly in the box for the most part, and none are wobbly. Some are drawn through a bit more than they need to be though. Two or three times is all we need. Otherwise, it starts to look messy. Still, good.

Funnels: Your ellipses align with the minor axis for the most part. In a few places, they overlap one another, but that’s because you draw through a lot. Besides that, they touch like they’re supposed to pretty consistently. These are also good.

Plotted Perspective: These look great. I see nothing wrong here.

Rough Perspective: Also looks really great. Your width lines are parallel with the horizon for the most part and your height lines are perpendicular with it as well. And your other lines go right back where they're supposed to. No guesswork going on here.

Rotated Boxes: This one here is amazing! Your boxes are drawn through, rotating incredibly well, and you kept them close together. You absolutely knocked it out of the park with this one, especially with how difficult this exercise is.

Organic Perspective: It looks like you got your line weight backwards a bit for some of these, but that’s alright. Your boxes don’t look bad and they shrink with distance. So these are good too.

I’d say you’re ready for the 250 box challenge

Your arrow looks great this time! Nice and smooth lines and the perspective is better too. I like that one you made coil up. I never even considered trying that lol. Your contour ellipses are great as well. A few are a bit too big, but they're overwhelmingly fitting. Great degree changes too. You pass

Hey, I'll be grading your boxes today. They look great. Your lines are smooth and confident, and your line extensions are good for the most part. I will say, around the 180s, you started using the same box orientation until the end. We weren't supposed to do that. But since I've seen that you can do different orientations, I recommend one more page of boxes, with none using that repeated orientation. After that, you're good to go for lesson 2

No problem

Hey, I’ll be grading your homework today.

Organic Arrows:

First off, you did a good job adding line weight at the cross over areas. And the way your lines crossover one another look great too. Really makes the arrows look like 3D ribbons. But I will say your lines are rough. As if you’ve gone over them again in places to make them go in the right direction. I know the temptation to fix them, but Uncomfortable said we shouldn’t do it because it just makes them look messy. Also, your perspective is a bit off. Remember, the arrows are supposed to scrunch and overlap with distance and expand with proximity.

I’d recommend doing these again.

Organic Forms:

Contour Ellipses: Your sausage forms look good. For the most part, they’re the right shape and your lines look smooth and confident too. Your ellipses are drawn through like we’re supposed to though, though some are drawn through too much. Once or twice will do. Also, they’re not fitting snugly into the sausage shapes the way they’re supposed to be. A few are too small, but many are too big for the sausage forms. Really ghost those first to make sure they’re the right size. Barring a few mistakes, your ellipses are turning well through space though. I recommend trying these again too.

Contour Curves: Your contour curves look awesome though. They arc and hook around the sausage form like they’re supposed to. Nice.

Texture Analysis:

These look good. I wish I’d done that well with the paper. My only criticism is that the transition to fully black should’ve been a bit more gradual.

Dissections: These look really good too. You kept the lighting down the middle in line and it looks good. Looks very 3D. You made the textures wrap around the sausage form as they should in 3D and you broke away from the silhouette to help sell it as well too. The ice cream, bumblebee hair, and octopus suckers were my favorites.

Form Intersections: Your forms aren’t stretched, so they all look like they occupy the same space, which is great. They’re not small floating groups either and you used like weight to properly show the intersections between forms, which are both good. Overall, not bad at all.

Organic Intersections: Your sausage forms look nice. Nice shape. Properly droopy with the contour lines and curves. My criticisms are the shadows. The middle on the second page doesn’t quite follow the forms as it should. They’re a bit more narrow than the forms casting them too. Besides that though, these look great.

And we’re done here just about. I recommend trying another page of Organic Arrows and Organic Forms with ellipses with the changes I mentioned in mind. Good luck

No problem. God bless

Never mind, you're right about that. I can see it now. I'm sorry I held you up with my misunderstanding. You pass. probably should've passed a while ago actually. Again, I'm sorry about that

It should look like that

Ohhhh, I understand now! I should have looked at how the lines were converging. I'm sorry I wasn't getting it at first. You should shade the side that faces the viewer; that's how to easily tell how we're supposed to see it. That said, even looking from a top view, the lines are still extended in the wrong direction

3 and 8 are still coming towards the viewer. You said before that you weren’t sure how to make the shading look like it’s on the side of the box instead of the back, and I think that’s making you still extend the lines in the wrong direction.

Up there, I colored in the part you should be shading to make it look like it’s the side of the box instead of the back. I think you’ve been shading between the wrong lines
