    Apologize for the late reply. Your plotted perspective are well executed well done. Your rotated boxes turns out good, just few of right side boxes not rotated well enough https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/17/notrotating. Revisit this exercise again later to see how much your spatial thinking has improve.

    Thank you for the revisions and congrats for completing lesson one. Best luck on 250 Box Challenge.

    HI Nim, welcome to Drawabox and congrats on finishing lesson 1. I'm kL, still a beginner and I will try to help you with your submission.

    1. Lines

    a. Superimposed Lines

    • Quite a wobbles on the first page specificly on medium and long lines, and then it gets smoother and more confident on the second page, showing that you learn and starting to understand how to draw from your shoulder for smooth confident lines. Well done for this exercise, make sure to practice it often for consistency.

    b. Ghosted Lines

    • Well executed, although there's a little bit curve at the end of the dot, showing that you want it to be accurate. As it state in lesson 0 prioritize a smooth confident lines over accuracy because accuracy requires time and practice. It's alright to get overshoot or the line get sideway a little bit for now.

    • Your Ghosted Lines are too few, so I would like you to do one more page of https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/ghostedlines. Try to draw more Ghosted Lines like in the example and prioritize smooth confident lines.

    c. Ghosted Planes

    • Very good but you getting wobble lines again in this exercise. I would like you to do one more page of https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/ghostedplanes without the ellipses, this time prioritize smooth confident lines.
    1. Ellipses

    a. Tables of Ellipses and Funnels

    • You did very well on both exercises, well done.

    b. Ellipses in Planes

    1. Boxes

    You did some re-drawing lines on your Box Exercises. Don't re-draw line, stick with initial line you put down even if it's a bit off. Re-drawing line only make things messy and confusing.

    a. Plotted Perspective

    • This exercise actually allow us to use ruler and you did very well without it, well done.

    b. Rough Perspective

    • You also did pretty well here and as you can see some of your perspective estimations were quite off but that will become more intuitive with practice.

    c. Organic Perspective

    • You did pretty good here although your box constructions are relying pretty heavily on parallel lines for their constructions which is leading to some weird divergences in some cases. The line constructions after initial Y line suppose to converge to their respective vanishing points. The next lesson and exercise, 250 Box Challenge, will teach deeper understanding how to construct box with each line converge to their respective vanishing points.

    The three box exercises above actually require us to create three panels on each page https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/15/example, https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/16/example, and https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/18/example. I will not ask revision here but please read the instruction of lessons forward more thoroughly.

    d. Rotated Boxes

    • Your Rotated Boxes turns out decently. I like that you drew this nice and big as that really helps when dealing with complex spatial problems. You also did a good job drawing through your boxes but one of the reasons you ran into some problems with this exercise is because you didn't keep the gaps between your boxes narrow and consistent https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/17/guessing.

    • You also running into a pretty common issue of not actually rotating your boxes in some cases https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/17/notrotating . This is a great exercise to come back to after a few lessons to see how much your spatial thinking ability has improved.

    Overall this was a solid submission that showed a nice deal of growth. You seem getting comfortable using the ghosting method and drawing from your shoulder for confident linework. I think you are understanding most of the concepts these lessons are trying to convey quite well. Do both revisions and I will mark your lesson 1 complete. Good luck.

    Next Steps:

    1. Ghosted Lines

    https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/ghostedlines

    1. Ghosted Planes (1 Page without ellipses)

    https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/ghostedplanes

    When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

    Hey one two three four five six,congrats on finishing lesson 1. I'm kL, I will help you with your submission. I will divide this into three sections of lesson 1.

    1. Lines

    • A well executed smooth confident lines. Well done!

    2. Ellipses

    • Also a well executed ellipses. Well done!

    3. Boxes

    • Your Plotted Perspective box are too few, I know you've been waiting quite sometime for critique after submission, but I apologize, I'm gonna need to ask for revision. You did very well here, but please draw additional boxes. 4-6 boxes ideally on each panel https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/15/example. Don't hesitate to draw box behind or in front of other box.

    • Your Rough Perspective is well executed. Nothing to mention here.

    • Your Rotated Boxes turns out great, although the outer-most boxes aren't rotating https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/17/notrotating. Practice this exercise again after you go through lessons forward, to see how much your spatial thinking ability has improve.

    • Your Organic Perspective also turns out great, but the flow feels to rigid. It will feel more flowing if you rotate some box like https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/18/example. Your boxes line construction relying pretty heavily on parallel line which is leading to some weird divergences in some cases. The lines construction after the initial Y line suppose to converge to their respective vanishing points using Y line as guide. The next lesson and exercise, 250 Box Challenge, will teach deeper understanding how to construct box with each lines converge to their respective vanishing points.

    Overall this is a solid submission that shows a nice deal of growth. You seem pretty comfortable using ghosting method and drawing from your shoulder for confident linework. Draw additional boxes on your Plotted Perspective, then I will mark your lesson 1 as complete. Good luck.

    Next Steps:

    Draw additional boxes on Plotted Perspective exercise.

    When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

    Hey your welcome Xanthe, glad I can help. Thank you for the revision, it's well executed. I did had the same problem on my Organic Perspective exercise and its slowly getting better undergoing 250 Box Challenge. Congrats on completing Lesson 1, best luck on 250 Box Challenge.

    Hi Ladydefile congrats on completing lesson 1. I'm kL, I will try to help you with your submission. I will divide this into three sections of lesson 1.

    1. Lines

    • A well executed smooth confident lines. Well done!

    2. Ellipses

    • Also a well executed ellipses. Well done!

    3. Boxes

    • Well executed for Plotted Perspective and Rough Perspective. Well done!

    • Your Rotated Boxes is also well executed, practice it again sometimes after doing several lessons forward to see how much your spatial thinking abilty has improved.

    • Onto your Organic Perspective, I don't know why but I'm giggling when I saw your Longbox. How could the Longbox happen XD?! Your Organic Perspective turns out great although you did run into common issue, that some of your boxes line construction relying pretty heavily on parallel line. The line construction after Y line suppose to converging to their respective vanishing points using Y line as guide. The next lesson and exercise, 250 Box Challenge, will teach deeper understanding how to construct box with each line converging to their respective vanishing points.

    Overall this is an astounding submission. You seem pretty comfortable using ghosting method and drawing from your shoulder for confident linework. I think you are understanding most of the concepts these lessons are trying to convey quite well. Congrats again from me, best luck on 250 Box Challenge.

    • Also a well exectued ellipses on all three exercises. Well done!

    3. Boxes

    • Well executed Plotted Perspective and Rough Perspective.

    • Yes, your second Rotated Boxes turns out great. You clearly understood better and it show on the second Rotated Boxes. Although the back lines is very messy, you did a lot of re-drawing lines. Don't re-draw line, stick with the initial line you put down even if it's a bit off.

    • Your Organic Perspective turns out pretty good. Your boxes line construction relying pretty heavily on parallel line for their construction, which is leading to some weird divergences in some cases. The line construction after the initial Y line suppose to converge to their respective vanishing points.

    Hi Pinompyo, I'm kL, I will help you with your submission. I will divide this into three sections of lesson 1.

    1. Lines

    • A well executed smooth confident lines on all three exercises. Well done!

    2. Ellipses

    • Also a well executed ellipses on Tables of Ellipses and Ellipses in Planes. Well done!

    • There's 1 set of ellipses on your Funnels exercise without arc lines, please follow instruction more thoroughly on lessons forward. Overall the rest of the funnels are great.

    3. Boxes

    • Your Rotated Boxes is not done, please finish the outer boxes rotation https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/17/example.

    • Also your Plotted Perspective is wrong please read again the instruction of the exercise and watch the video for more clarity https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/plottedperspective. You need to draw 4 to 6 boxes per panel. Plotted Perspective exercise only require 1 page.

    • Your Rough Perspective is great, but this exercises actually require to create 3 panels on both pages. I will not ask revision for this, just be thorough to read instruction clearly on the lessons forward.

    • Your Organic Perspective are pretty good. I notice some re-drawing line not just on this exercise but others too, try to not make this a habit. Re-drawing line only cause confusion, stick with the initial line you put down even if it's a bit off. Your Organic Perspective box construction relying pretty heavily on parallel line. The line construction suppose to converge to vanishing points after initial Y line construction https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/18/step3. The next lesson and exercise, 250 Box Challenge, will help teach deeper understanding how to construct box line converging into their respective vanishing points.

    Overall this is a solid submission that showed a nice deal of growth. You seem very comfortable using the ghosting method and drawing from your shoulder for confident linework. I think you are understanding most of the concepts these lessons are trying to convey quite well. Do both revision according to the instruction, then I will mark your lesson 1 complete.

    Next Steps:

    1. Finish Rotated Boxes exercise.

    https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/17/example

    1. Re-draw Plotted Perspective exercise, read and watch instruction thoroughly.

    3. Boxes

    • Your Plotted Perspective and Rough Perspective are well executed, but the boxes are too few, especially on Plotted Perspective. I would like to ask you to draw additional boxes on your Plotted Perspective and both Rough Perspective. Draw 4 to 6 boxes per panel, https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/15/example and https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/16/example. Do not hesitate to draw box in front or behind other box.

    • Your Rotated Boxes is well executed. Well done!

    • Your Organic Perspective turns out great. I notice some re-drawing line on two boxes, try to not make this a habit. Re-drawing line only cause confusion, stick with the initial line you put down even if it's a bit off. Your Organic Perspective box construction relying pretty heavily on parallel line. The line construction suppose to converge to vanishing points after Y line construction https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/18/step3. The next lesson and exercise, 250 Box Challenge, will help teach deeper understanding how to construct box line converging into their respective vanishing points.

    Overall this is a solid submission that showed a nice deal of growth. You seem very comfortable using the ghosting method and drawing from your shoulder for confident linework. I think you are understanding most of the concepts these lessons are trying to convey quite well. Draw additional boxes to your Plotted Perspective and both Rough Perspective, then I will mark your lesson 1 complete.

    Next Steps:

    Draw additional boxes on Plotted Perspective and both Rough Perspective exercises.
