    Superimposed lines. Lines look good, theyre fraying only on one end.

    Ghosted lines. The lines have arches and wobble to them. Try to be more confident while executing the line. Ghost towards the point more. And try to use your shoulder more since wobbles and arches can be made just by incorrectly using other parts of your arm.

    Ghosted planes. The same issues persist. The line looks wobbly and are arching, they look unconfident and got the sense of slack. You lines doesnt overshoot / undershoot the target point, but in this exercise i would say just go for the target, it doesnt matter if you overshoot it or undershoot it. Its at least making the lines look confident and not wobbly.

    ellipses

    Table of ellipses. Ellipses look good. I can spot a few that goes beyond the boundary of the table, and there is also some ellipses that overlap each other. But generally, i think they look good with really tight spacing between them.

    Ellipses in planes. Some ellipses in this exercise doesnt fully fill the planes. The objective of this one is to try to fill the most of the planes to the fullest. Again, some ellipses overlap the plane and some have choppy line, due to not executing them confidently.

    Funnels. Ellipses have tilt on them making them not aligned with the minor axis. In this exercise, minor axis meant to cut through exactly the middle of the ellipses.

    boxes

    Plotted perspective. The vertical line doesnt align with the vertical vp. This exercise simulate 2 vanishing points and that is the dot that you plot back to while making these boxes. But there is the third vp and that is vertical ones. You can see them because its almost parallel to being vertical. Thats why your boxes looks wrong, they are not aligned with the vertical lines that is the third vp. And also, why is there only 1 massive frame instead of frame of three.

    Rough perspective. The boxes vertical and horizontal lines doesnt match up with the vanishing points again.

    Mistake: Guessing

    Please plot you boxes first instead of going raw. Other than that i think its good. You tried you best to ghost back to the vp.

    Rotated boxes. You middle cross boxes have solid rotation but kind of falls off on the corner boxes. When making boxes for this one, try to shorten the front faces as you go rotating them. The back face on the corner boxes isnt tight enough with each other, making the boxes look deformed. There are also problems with lines but its passable for now. Here is a reference on drawing rotated boxes.

    Organic perspective. I can spot a few boxes that have its outer extension line diverge outwards from the "main Y" line of your box. This disrupt the illusion of 3d and resulting them looking flat. Other than the bad lines, i think that you have a pretty good sense of 3d.

    I hope this wasnt harsh and take my critique with a grain of salt. and excuse my grammatical errors, english isnt my native language. Unfortunately i have to give you a redo on the rough perspective. Try to stick in line with the straight horizontal and vertical vanishing points. This applies to the back face also. Plot you back face so that its straight with the horizontal and vertical vanishing points. Good luck.

    lines

    Superimposed lines. Looking good with the lines only fraying on one end.

    Ghosted lines. The lines looks pretty crisp. They are quite straight with few lines being arched and/or wobbly this could be because you are using your elbow, not being confident while executing them. Or maybe not yet used to using you shoulder.

    Ghosted planes. The planes looks nice and straight. Few are overshooting the target and i spot a few that didnt end in the target point. There are still wobble and arching on lines but. And there is some line that you've redrawn. It shows that you tried to cover up for the mistake you did. Its certainly not advised to redo lines in DaB so i would advise against so.

    ellipses

    Table of ellipses. First page looks really crowded. It could be because how many the lines have been drawn over. Good job on filling the space. In the second page i can inspect more on what you lack in terms of ellipses. Ellipses in this exercise have overlapping and overdrawing. In this DaB homework section, they told students to do only 2 redrawn over the line, with 3 being the max amount of redraw. There are also issues of how confident the lines are, Some ellipses have stutter in them. Generally, i like how you draw you ellipses. Sticking with the goal of not going out of the border and being tight to other ellipses. Great job.

    Ellipses in planes. I can see that the planes in this exercise wasnt being fully filled by the ellipse. Some have the ellipse slanted while the plane is relatively straight. This exercise is meant to fill planes with ellipses to its fullest. And again, there are ellipses that are drawn over multiple times. In this exercise, i like how you've pointed oit some errors you made along the way. It could help you improve on not doing the same mistake again.

    Funnels. Some ellipses in funnels are slanted, not being aligned with the normal axis. And there is the same issue of overdrawing the ellipses. Other than that i think you've done a great job. I like how tight the spacing with each ellipse is.

    boxes

    Plotted perspective. They are good. I like that you didnt hatch the further back boxes that overlap with the front. I see that you have the understanding of the 3d space and how to utilize it.

    Rough perspective. The extended lines on this one looks solid. They are nearing the vp, even the further out ones. But by the looks of it, some of the boxes have their line redrawn. Again, DaB doesnt allow redo of lines. Beside the redrawn lines, i think some of the horizontal line the boxes have isnt aligned with the horizontal line (vanishing line). In this exercise, horizontal lines should be parallel to horizon and vertical lines perpendicular to horizon. But you boxes in this exercise looks solid.

    Rotated boxes. The corner boxes doesnt have their back faces drawn. And most of the outer boxes are some kind of deformed cube. The lines in this one are not great with the wobble and curves it has. I can see that youve made effort on the cross boxes, primarily the horizontal and vertical boxes. The back faces on the corner boxes are not tight enough with the middle cross boxes. So it tends to deform the box quite a bit. Without going into much detail on how to do this exercise. Here is a reference on drawing rotated boxes.

    Organic perspective. Boxes have their lines diverge from the main y so it loses some of its 3d illusion. I like the depth and variety on this exercise. I see that youve grasped the idea of the 3d space. The only other complaint i have is the redrawn lines.

    Beside that you did a great job.

    I hope this wasnt harsh and take my critique with a grain of salt. and excuse my grammatical errors, english isnt my native language. Good luck on 250 boxes challenge !

    lines

    Superimposed lines. Lines look good with only fraying on one end. Nice variety of length too.

    Ghosted lines. I can spot a few that arch and curves. This can be the result of being not confident and/or not used to using your elbow. Regardless, it will be better if you continue on.

    Ghosted planes. Overall, the same verdict i have for ghosted lines, some are arching and wobbly. I like that you tried your best not to undershoot/overshoot the lines making them look neat. Great job.

    ellipses

    Table of ellipses. Some ellipses overshoots and exceed the frame's boundary and there are some that overlap each other but generally, i really like the effort put into this. You ellipses looks confident and tight with other ellipses. You also put additional ellipses to fill in the gaps to make it full.

    Ellipses in planes. Ellipses looks great on this one. There are some that doesnt completely fill the planes, most of the ellipses look confident. I think you did a great job.

    Funnels. Most of the ellipses seems to be align with the minor axis and are tightly spaced with each other. I can spot a few that are sloppy and tilted but i think you get the idea of the exercise.

    boxes

    Plotted perspective. Its good. Understand where your box's placement in 3d space and try to hatch where the boxes can be seen by the viewer.

    Rough perspective. Some of the boxes' horizontal line is not parallel to the horizon's line. In this exercise, horizontal lines should be parallel to horizon and vertical lines perpendicular to horizon. The further the box to the vp, the more misaligned the extended lines are, but in this exercise that is pretty normal. You've made some solid boxes and the boxes have extended lines that doesnt extend to past the horizon lines.

    Rotated boxes. Im not sure what you drawn on the middle box but i think thats not a cube, its a pyramid. There are no back plane parallel to the front. And this problem doesnt apply to only the middle box. Some on the corner boxes (left, right, upper left, and corners) doesnt have its back planes. In the DaB, we must draw through our boxes, almost all of them. And due to not having back plane, other boxes cannot get a reference on where their back plane is. The first box from the middle suffers from this issue. Front looks rotated while the back looks drunk. But other than that i think your exersice looks good. Here is a reference on drawing rotated boxes.

    Organic perspective. I can sense the feel of depth on this one. The boxes have a great feel of the space around them. Though some boxes lost its illusion when you inspect them closely. Some boxes have its lines diverge from the original Y's line. Other than that i think you did a solid job.

    Good job finishing the lesson 1 homeworks! I hope this wasnt harsh and take my critique with a grain of salt. and excuse my grammatical errors, english isnt my native language. Good luck on 250 boxes challenge !

    lines

    Superimposed lines are good. Only fraying on one end. The shorter one have good accuracy and confidence.

    Ghosted lines, i can see curves and arching on the lines. This could happen if you are not using your shoulder or not being confident in general. Other than that they are great.

    Ghosted planes. Again, curves and arching stemming from ghosted lines. There are also overshooting in there. To practice, try to have and end goal, draw line to line with intention to not overshoot.

    ellipses

    Table of ellipses are solid. Most of these are within the frame of the box and are tightly spaced between each ellipses. You tried your best to fill in the leftover gaps with smaller ellipses while staying consistent with the goal. Good job.

    Ellipses in planes. You fill in the planes with ellipses pretty well. Some are overshooting the boundary but i think they overall looks good. The lines you made are confident and accurate.

    Funnels, some ellipses in funnels have tilted, not aligning up with the normal axis. Ellipses overlap and doesnt touch the top and bottom side of the funnels. They are good but need a little refining.

    boxes

    Plotted perspective. Other than some boxes being distorted due to going beyond the vp radius. They look good.

    Rough perspective. I noticed the horizontal lines of this exercise is arching more than the ghosted lines, ghost your line until you are certain that you have it under control. And also, in this exercise width lines should be parallel to horizon and height lines perpendicular to horizon. But judging your extended lines towards the vp. I think they are all great. You did a great job.

    Rotated boxes. I can spot the back plane of the boxes are not rotated correlated to the front plane of the boxes. They are also very long. The corner boxes have slanted / wonky back planes due to being rather elevated than the middle cross boxes. And some of the corner boxes' back plane have too much of spacing with other boxes' back plane, so it looks like they are more elevated / separate. Here is a reference on drawing rotated boxes.

    Organic perspective. I can really sense the depth of the boxes in this one. You made your boxes really well in terms of depth of the 3d space. But some boxes have their vp lines not match up towards the initial y's vp, making them break the illusion.

    I hope this wasnt harsh and take my critique with a grain of salt. and excuse my grammatical errors, english isnt my native language. Good luck on 250 boxes challenge !

    lines

    Superimposed lines looks great. They look straight and the lines fray only on one end.

    Ghosted lines, solid. The lines looks confident and straight. There might be not much wobble but i can see that there is an arching. This could be because you are still not used to using your elbow.

    Ghosted planes. Great. Pretty much the same as ghosted lines.

    ellipses

    Table of ellipses, Ellipses looks confident. Ellipses are drawn twice and confined within the box's boundary. Ellipses touch each other and the spacing is tight.

    Ellipses in planes. Some ellipses are not making use of the full space within the plane. Make sure to fill it as best as you can. And there is also some overshooting. Other than that, i think you ellipses are good.

    Funnels. Though there are some that is slanted, they generally looks ok. Make sure to align the ellipses straight with the minor axis in mind.

    boxes

    Plotted prespective. There are some overlapping boxes but generally are good.

    Rough prespective. There are some arching / uneven lines on the back planes but i think you did great. You did the homework according to DaB instruction, with extended lines not surpassing the horizon line. Remember that horizontal lines should be parallel to horizon and vertical lines perpendicular to horizon.

    Rotated boxes. The corner boxes seems less rotated and this create the effect of the middle boxes looking a little flat. With how much.you are rotating. It wouldnt be hard to add a 4th box just to fill in the gaps. Other than that i think you did great. edit : Here is a reference on drawing rotated boxes.

    Organic prespective. The boxes looks ok. Most of the box converge into a vanishing point. The scale of boxes here are also good. One thing i will point out that your lines seems to double on some areas. Im not sure if its line weight or redrawn lines. Lines should only be drawn once.

    I hope this wasnt harsh and take my critique with a grain of salt. and excuse my grammatical errors, english isnt my native language. Imo i think you are ready to take on the 250 box challenge! Good luck :)

    lines

    Superimposed lines looks great. You are only fraying on one end which is expected.

    Ghosted lines, The lines looks confident and you're plotting the trejectory of the lines first which is mandatory. I can see the wobble of the lines but it will be getting straighter from here.

    Ghosted planes, the lines looks pretty confident and straight but i still see some wobble / curving of lines. Its nothing major you can practice lines in the upcoming challenge

    ellipses

    Table of ellipses, Some are overshooting either the boundary of table or other circles. Majority of the ellipses looks confident, i can spot a few that focuses on accuracy rather than being confident. Other than that, your ellipses looks good. They touch each other and have realy tight spacing.

    Ellipses in planes, looks solid. Tight with the planes and pretty accurate with the line before them (accuracy here is the correlation between the previously drawn ellipse ghosted line). I can still see a few that focuses on accuracy to hit just below the bounding line of the plane.

    On funnels, you are not quite following the normal axis. The ellipses looks uneven and slightly slanted. Some ellipses looks deformed and some are clipping. There are also unconfident making the ellipses line looks choppy.

    boxes

    Plotted prespective looks good. Only thing i would say is to overlap the hatching lines (third frame).

    Rough prespective, width lines should be parallel with the horizon and height lines perpendicular with horizon. The extended lines should only trace back until the horizon line and never exceeding it. But as as a first attempt, it look quite good.

    Rotated boxes, you did a good job keeping corners tight together. But for the furthes boxes, they should have less of the front facing plane, and the sides planes would open up more. I can spot where you've tried to re-draw a line, lines should only be drawn once whether it was an unintentional mistake. Here are a reference on drawing rotated boxes.

    Organic prespective. Some boxes have deformed due to the vanishing points not aligning up, some boxes even have the lines diverge. Im not quite sure if your boxes genuinely have line weight or you're just redrawing them. Other than that. I think you have a great perception on 3d space.

    I hope this wasnt harsh and take my critique with a grain of salt. and excuse my grammatical errors, english isnt my native language. And yes, you may proceed with the 250 box challenge :)

    i see that you have improved drawing ellipses. im going to mark this lesson as complete. only thing i would comment on is to draw more confidently, ghost more and relax while executing them, i usually take big breath using my mouth lol (relaxing here is not tensing up, not slack). either way, you may proceed to the 250 box challenge. good work ????

    lines

    The superimposed lines looks confident with the majority only fraying on one end.

    Most of the ghosted lines looks passable. Although i can see a few thats curved and wobbly (and redos) its nothing to ponder about. They will improve as you continue the lessons.

    Ghosted planes looks confident but suffers from the same issues stemming from the ghosted lines. Again not a huge deal breaker.

    ellipses

    Your table of ellipses looks confident but lacks proper goal. As a side effect, i looks incomplete and messy. I do see that the ellipses are not drawn over. Ellipses should be drawn over 2 or 3 times following DaB instruction.

    Ellipses in planes looks uneven / not smooth. Make sure you are ghosting ellipses and executing them in one go, dont stutter or hesitate when drawing them. Again, i see the ellipses are drawn once. Ellipses should be drawn atleast two times and the max three times.

    Funnels i think youve grasp the idea of the minor axis but couldnt fulfill the drawing bit. While i do think this is the best ellipses compared to previous homeworks. It still needs a little refining.

    boxes

    Plotted perspective looks good. Dont redo lines as it can add line weight.

    The first page of rough perspective is rather incomplete. Majority of boxes doesnt have its extended lines toward the vp; i cant see the vp. The other page looks great. Horizontal lines should be parallel to the horizon lines and the vertical lines should be perpendicular to it. Again dont redraw lines.

    Rotated boxes looks off. The right side is rather complete than the other side. You can alway rotate the page to your needs. Lines look redrawn, boxes not rotated but they are tight. Considering this is a hard hw i will let it slide. (Reference for drawing rotated boxes https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/368870697742630912/715669112222908466/zfr3o7xneog31.png )

    Organic perspective looks good. Just draw over them if they do intersect with one another.

    I hope this wasnt harsh and take my critique with a grain of salt. and excuse my grammatical errors, english isnt my native language.

    keep drawing :)

    Next Steps:

    1 page of table of ellipses.

Faber Castell PITT Artist Pens

Faber Castell PITT Artist Pens

Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.

Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
