Hey! Congrats on completing lesson 1! Overall, things looks great.

Superimposed lines: You did well in being careful about your starting place, and the lines look confident. Continue to incorporate this into your warmup; you will get better with superimposition over time. Although, I'll admit, I am still not perfect either.

Ghosting: The lines look mostly fine. There is some slight wavering, so make sure that you continue to draw from your shoulder. As for your planes, they look confident. There is some overshooting and undershooting, but that is to be expected for the first lesson. One thing to do is to keep your eye on the dot as you draw towards it, and then release when you get there. If you already heard this advice, continue doing it.

Table of Ellipses: This is some really nice work. I like how you were not afraid to vary the sizes and orientations of hte ellipses. There is some mild wavering, so make sure to draw from your shoulder. Also, I noticed a few ellipses where it looked like you drew over them more than three times. Make sure to only draw through your ellipses twice or thrice, no more than that.

Ellipses in Planes: There is a little bit of wavering, almost as though you were trying to avoid going outside the plane. While that is good, remember that it is more important to draw confidently than to draw correctly. There may be some overshoots or undershoots, but once again, that is to be expected at this stage. It will improve over time. Also, as I stated before, make sure to avoid drawing over your ellipses more than thrice.

Funnels: These funnels looks very confident and snug, so great work. On the second funnel, I noticed that you went from circles to ellipses. I know I've said this already, but there are instances where you draw over your ellipses more than three times here, too. In your warm ups in the future, keep in mind to only draw over your ellipses twice or thrice.

Plotted Perspective: I see good confidence in the lines, and it seems that you understood the exercise well. However, remember that it is very important to conceptualize how the lines connect back to the VP. Therefore, they should be drawn fully. You don't have to do this again, but keep this in mind for future warm ups if you decide to do this as a warm up in the future.

Rough Perspective: It looks like you understood this exercise well, too. While you missed the VP in some panels, that is fine. As you move into the 250 box challenge, you will get better at aiming for the VP, or at least making more confident boxes that have a single VP. Continue to confidently draw your lines from your shoulder.

Rotated Boxes: Overall, nice work! This looks really clean and confident. There are some boxes where the lines don't completely connect to each other, leaving a gap, so keep that in mind when drawing boxes in the future.

Organic Perspective: You did well in conveying perspective, both in how the boxes overlap on each other, as well as the varying sizes. There is some wavering of the lines, and I also see a couple of scratched-out or ignored lines, as though there were accidentally placed there. I know that it is hard, but try to work with those lines, even if you placed them there by mistake. It will help in being more confident in your marking.

Overall, nicely done! You are ready for the 250 box challenge. Continue to work on being confident in your line strokes, and make sure to only draw through your ellipses twice or thrice. Feel free to move on to the box challenge.

Hello!

Good job on completing the 250 box challenge.

I can see that the confidence in your lines has improved over the course of the exercise however I can still see some wobbling especially on the the superimposed lines. remember to use the hosting method on every mark, its fine if its not accurate, confidence is more important. You should also do this for the cross hatching on the boxes too.

In terms of the convergences of your boxes, they are actually done quite well, you also have some good variety of foreshortening on your boxes. although alot of your boxes have the same shape, try experiment with different size combination of all the different sizes.

with your extention lines dont be afraid to go even further with them and cross over into other boxes.

The last thing I would like to mention is the inner corner which alot of people struggle with. this is because its affected by the accumulation of all the mistakes of all your other lines. one way to improve this is to think about the relationship of all the lines together instead of just pairs of lines. One way of doing this is changing the order you draw the lines to draw the inner corner first before the last face. here is a guide that shows the order im talking about. and here is guide explaining how this works.

Keep up the good work and when you get more confortable with your boxes during warmups try some of the advanced exercises

Hi Dotky!

First of all, congratulations for finishing lesson 1! You made it.

Here are some points worth noting:

1. Superimposed Lines: Good work! Fraying happens only on one end, great confidence and accuracy (which is an excellent bonus).

2. Ghosted Lines: Confident and nice lines. You tend to overshoot lines here, however, it's totally normal.

3. Ghosted Planes: Really solid work! Great confident and accurate lines, incredibly done.

4. Ghosted Ellipses: Nice work. Confident and averagely snuggly put ellipses, although I can see some overshoot ellipses. That aside, good job.

5. Table of Ellipses: Well done. Ellipses are tightly placed next to each other, decreasing overshoot issues as well. Great progress.

6. Funnels: Neat and solid work, tightly placed ellipses and they direct according to their minor axis. However, I would suggest you trying to increase their degree (width of the ellipse). As they move further to the outer side of the funnel, the ellipses should be more and more circular.

7. Plotted Perspective: Nothing much to say, neat work.

8. Rough Perspective: Well done! I can definitely see your effort in making the X and Y axis of the box parallel and perpendicular to the horixon line consecutively, and progress is clearly and significantly made throughout the exercise.

9. Rotated Boxes: It's a tough exercise, and you finished it! Even so, I'd like to point out that it seems that you forgot to add the back side of some boxes, specifically on the top 2 boxes on diagonal right (quadrant 1), and other boxes on each diagonal top of each quadrant.

10. Organic Perspective: Again, it's a hard exercise but you managed it well. Although the boxes's sizes are kind of confusing at the first frame of the first page, overall you did a nice work!

Cheers!

Hi

Congratulations of finishing your homework! Now lets take a dive:

Lines

Superimposed lines: Very good, they have a consistent trajectory. However the first page is a little empty, remember to start with small ones and steadily increase the length as you progress through the page. And don't use ballpoint keep it with ink.

Ghosted Lines: They're nice and have a overall good precision and smoothness, keep in mind to lift your pen from the page as soon you reach the endpoint to avoid overshooting. Some have a slight curvature, focus on using your shoulder and even if you are and still face this problem try to consciously arch on the opposite direction. Also, holding your pen extremely tight can sometimes result in little curves at the beginning of the line, remember to not put much tension on your hand, that will only hurt your wrist, keep it relaxed.

Ghosted Planes: Same thing as the ghosted lines.

Ellipses

Tables: You should keep your ellipses more consistent. Most of them are varying within the bounds you set, for example the very first one is composed of circles and ellipses. Within each part strive to make them in the same degree as its explained here. This is of core importance for this exercise, work within the bounds and follow the rules that are set in them. Starts with a long and thin ellipse? Should finish with one as well, the angles may vary but you should always strive to maintain a similar(if not equal) minor axis for each section. Aside from that I can see that you got the idea of drawing trough the ellipses more than once and how they should fit snugly with each other.

Funnels: The ellipses should be aligned to the minor axis cutting them in two equal halves. The lines between the arcs are mostly misaligned with them, the purpose here getting used to the minor axis, therefore is important that it is placed correctly in order to keep them consistent and more easy to visualize if you are following it right. Of course you don't need to make the funnel with computer precision but try to be more accurate, take your time and don't rush.

Boxes

Rough perspective: Your lines here seem more wobbly and arched than the previous exercises, don't be afraid of keep going, try not to stop to think if your lines are gonna match up with each other in the middle of the way, this is why the ghosting method is essential. Ghost them double/triple times if you need and you'll have less problems in this case.

Rotated boxes: Good job! This one is hard and you did well for now.

Organic perspective: Also good job, some boxes look a bit off but that's absolutely not a big problem for now as your next step is the 250 box challenge.

Final thoughts

You got the main gist of the lesson, I am not gonna suggest for any revisions HOWEVER I strongly recommend you to read the table of ellipses and funnels exercise enunciated and watch the videos again as those exercises are gonna follow you through the entirety of the course (and hopefully beyond) because you'll come back to them in your warmups that are ESSENTIAL to improving!
