Hi Anghelina, congratulations on finishing lesson ! I'm Kaili, I'm one of the other students in the course so this won't be official critique but hopefully it helps you out.

You've done an excellent job getting through lesson one but there are a few things I want to point out that will hopefully help you as you get further along in the Draw a Box lessons.

Lines:

Superimposed lines-

Overall you did a very good job! There are a few spots where you can see fraying at the starting end of the lines. Once you start using these in your warm ups, I'd make sure to be a bit more intentional about where you're starting your pen stroke. You only frayed in a few places though, so I don't think it's too pressing of an issue.

Ghosted Lines-

Your starts and stops were very impressive! Rarely did you miss your mark, so excellent job there. There are quite a few arcs though, especially on your longer lines. Make sure you're drawing from your shoulder, and if you feel like you have a tendency to arc in one direction it can help to over correct and consciously focus on arcing in the other direction. This method can help you find a medium between the two. Uncomfortable talks about it in the videos about ghosted lines, so it may be a good idea to go back and review those before you add these to your warm up pool.

Ghosted planes-

Your planes look very well done! Other than arcing in a few spots I can't really think of anything to critique here. Keep up the good work!

Elipses:

Tables of elipses-

These looks great! Your control is very evident here and you've executed the exercise perfectly. No notes!

Elipses in planes-

These are also very well done. Very consistent, and you were able to get majority of your elipses to touch all four edges of the planes, while still drawing through your elipse twice. There are a few that came out a bit wobbly, but this is nothing that can't be fixed as you use them for your warm ups in the future.

Funnels-

The only thing I'm noticing here is as you get further out, your elipses begin to wobble and become a bit uncertain. Make sure you're drawing from your shoulder and ghost a few more times if necessary. Ghosting will help build the confidence and limit the wobble. Other than that though, these look beautiful.

Boxes:

Plotted perspective-

These came out amazingly. There are a few where the back line came out a bit skewed. In cases like these, it's good to try to find a closer middle ground (even though the wonky back line is usually caused by an accumulation of human error, there are still spots where they could have been straightened out a bit but it became a bit murky due to how many intersections where going on in that area). It's very clear you have a good understanding of two point perspective based on this. Nice job!

Rotated boxes-

This is one of the best I've seen of this exercise. You clearly rotaed the boxes and didn't rely on a vanishing point for them as the lesson said. The lines are very clear, but there is a bit of a wobble happening in some spots. Ghosting a few more times can help build the confidence necessary before executing a line

Organic Perspective-

These were all very well done! It looks like you have a good understanding of this exercise as well

Overall, these were very well done! As you go forward, continue working on getting those arcs out of your ghosted lines and building more confidence doing those larger elipses. But I think you're ready to get into the 250 box challenge! Congratulations on finishing Lesson 1, and good luck taking on the challenge!

Welcome to drawabox, and good work seeing Lesson 1 through to the end! I’m Kort3 and today i’m who will correct your exercises, Let’s take a look at it, shall we?

Superimposed lines.

They are looking great! I love how many there are. Great job including a varied array of line lengths and curves. It looks like you started making woblier lines, but in the second page is visible that you corrected it, good job, you are in the right way. Remember that in draw a box each exercise has a concrete objective, so try to follow the instructions, don’t worry if your job isn’t perfect, is not suposed to be.

Ghosted lines.

Your ghosted lines exercise has also been done well, each mark begins correctly on one of the dots and follows through confidently. Accuracy is just a matter of mileage, so as you continue with this exercise in your warmups you'll find you can hit the mark more precisely, and more often, over time. I would have like to see longer lines, like passing through the page, because it may help draw from the shoulder, but i’m not gonna make you repeat this exercise for that reason. Just make sure you change the lenght of your lines in yor future warmups.

Ghosted planes.

Be careful, however; right now you have a habit of course correcting, as you approach your end points, if your spot your line being off. This is not something we like to see! More than an accurate line, we’re interested in a smooth, straight line, so prioritize accordingly.

Table of ellipses.

Your table of ellipses includes a variety of ellipse degrees and angles, the space was used well and your ellipses are drawn through. Again, excellent focus here on keeping the movements confident.

Ellipses in planes.

The ellipses in planes, too, look good. The most of them touch 4 edges of the planes and looks like you did them with confident.

Funnels

Your funnels looks good but you didn’t draw the minor axis in any of them. Be careful, also, that the ellipses either maintain the same degree throughout, or increase as they move away from the center, not decrease.

And here you have the link to the correct way to do the exercise. https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/funnels/notaligned

Plotted perspective

Nothing to say here. Good job!

Rough perspective

i really like the first page, you did it the best you could, but in the second page it looks like you started to aply te line extension in the wrong way, here you have an example: https://imgur.com/a/ypjq7Pg

You should take a look to this. https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/roughperspective/extendinglineswrongYou started right!!

Rotated boxes

This exercise looks good. Your boxes here are big, snug, and properly rotating. There’s a slight resistance to that same rotation in the back, but that’s entirely expected at this stage, so nothing to stress over.

Organic perspective

These boxes look fantastic, the boxes themselves are well constructed, and flow well as a result of their foreshortening. Nice work, overall. I would like to see smaller and bigger ones, but don´t worry about that, you can try it again in your warmups.

In summary, Good job BuRoBa, you did it pretty well and look like you understood the mayority of the exercises, anyway i will send you some homework just for be sure that you get it at all. i hope it's not too much for you. Do it and send it to me replying this message, i will be alert.
