Hi, I'll be handling your work, I hope this critique is of use to you.

for your lines

Superimposed lines well executed, but there's some wobbling. Remember that a confident line will always have priority over a wobbly line.

Ghosted lines are good. I recommend page-wide lines for this exercise, once they go into your warm-ups

Planes look great, everything is plotted and ghosted.

for your ellipses

Tables of ellipses overall are good, but there's a few that are deformed, remember to prioritize confidence and smoothness over accuracy. Your second page looks more confident overall.

Planes in ellipses look pretty good!

Funnels look good, I feel like you couldve filled the page a tad bit more, but otherwise it's all good.

onto boxes

Plotted perspective shows a good understanding of two-point perspective.

Rough perspective looks good, you understand the point of the exercise.

on your rotated boxes page there are a fair bit of boxes that are not rotating, but otherwise I think you did well.

On your organic perspective page, you did pretty well, and you understand the point of the exercise. There are a few diverging lines, and I feel like you could've pushed it a tad bit with the amount of boxes on the page.

For the last 2 exercises it's normal for it to be as hard as it is at this stage, and the 250 boxes challenge comes after this lesson either way.

Overall I think you did pretty well. I did not see any repeating lines and I hope that will transfer into later lessons and exercises.

also I like the color of the pen you're using

tyty. I was really short on time to do this, and it could definitely use a bit of improvement. also a tiny fan of some of your work!

could be! I was trying to make a mimic chest + a ice cream cart but i realized i didn't have enough time or energy

Hi. I'll be handling your work, and I hope this helps you improve.

For your lines:

Superimposed lines look pretty confident overall, but there's some wobbling and arching on your longer lines. in your warm-ups consciously arch in the opposite direction to try and make it straighter. fraying is fine on the end

Ghosted lines are confident aswell, accuracy comes over time. I recommend page-wide lines for this exercise while it's in your warm-ups

Ellipses in planes have some repeating lines. Once you put down a mark, even if it's not accurate, pretend it is and move on. A confident line is more important than accuracy. The ellipses themselves are deformed, and you should prioritize confident and smooth ellipses even if they end up out of the boundary.

Onto ellipses

Tables of ellipses have ellipses that are drawn through more than 3 times, keep it to 2 - 3 (2 preferably). Ellipses are packed nicely against each other.

Funnels are nicely done. The minor axis should cut the ellipse into 2 symmetrical halves.

boxes

Plotted perspective shows you understand two-point perspective.

Rough perspective pages are overall pretty good, some of your boxes hit the vp. try to keep the width lines parallel to the horizon line, and the height lines perpendicular to the horizon line.

Rotated boxes look fine, and you understand the purpose of the exercise. You did it twice on the same page, and you should refrain from grinding the exercise as it'll only hold you back from the further lessons. In your warm-ups try to use the entire page for the exercise so it can further push your spatial reasoning, and take your time with the (optional) hatching.

Organic perspective pages show you have a good understanding of what the exercise is supposed to accomplish. There are diverging lines, but both the rotated boxes exercise and this exercise are both pretty difficult early on and the 250 boxes challenge will help you further develop the spatial reasoning skills. You can also probably come back to these exercises and crush it after the challenge

Overall I think you did pretty well, and you understand the purpose of the exercises. These will go into your 10 - 15 minute warm-ups

I wish you lots of patience on the 250 boxes challenge.

Hi bluebob. I'll be handling your work and I hope this critique is of use to you and helps you improve.

For your lines

Superimposed lines are looking confident. Some fraying on the otherside is to be expected. I like that you're doing curves aswell!

Your page of ghosted lines are looking really good too. I recommend practicing page-wide ghosted lines once these go into your warm-ups.

Page of ghosted planes are looking really good, confident, and clean.

ellipses

Tables are ellipses are looking good! your second pass comes close to your first round. There's some deforming which is to be expected, but make sure you prioritize confidence and smoothness over accuracy.

Your 2 pages of ellipses in planes did not have to be completely new pages, as you could have placed them into the other pages of planes. There's some wobbling, and you should be prioritizing confidence over accuracy, Nonetheless they're looking good!

For your funnels, they're looking good!

Boxes!

Plotted perspective pages show a good understanding of two-point perspective. The hatching lines look rushed, and although optional, please do take your time with them.

Rough perspective pages are looking good. The width lines should be parallel to the horizon line, and the height lines should be perpendicular to the horizon line. On your second page of rough perspective I can see that you improved your ghosting towards the VP. There are some lines that appear to be repeated in order to fix a bad line, don't try to fix a bad line, leave it as is and pretend it's correct.

For your rotated boxes, I can see that you did the optional hatching, good practice. They're nicely packed against eachother and you show a good understanding of perspective.

And lastly, organic perspective. There are diverging lines, but you understand the point of the exercise, and as such, you've done well! Your understanding of perspective will improve with the 250 boxes challenge.

All of these will go into your 10-15 minute warm-ups, and I wish you patience with the 250 boxes challenge.

Hi zacar1on. I'll be reviewing your work, I hope this critique is of use to you.

there are 3 pages of ellipses in planes, instead of the assigned 2. I'm not sure if you misread or decided to do the other pages of planes aswell, but please do not grind, it'll only hold you back. Do the assigned pages, submit for critique, get them reviewed, and if you're asked for revisions you can do them.

Starting off with lines

I like that you went straight for page-wide lines for the superimposed lines exercise, really good practice. There is wobbling though. You should always be prioritizing confidence over accuracy.

Ghosted lines are done well! I recommend doing page-wide aswell for this exercise when you do them in your warm-ups.

Onto ellipses

Tables of ellipses are looking really good, clean and confident and your second pass almost hits your first one. There's some deforming on the ellipses. You should be aiming for smooth and confident ellipses, even if they don't fit within bounds.

Moving onto ellipses in planes. I like how your ellipses are fitting inside nicely, and confidently.

For your funnels, They're looking quite good. the minor axis should be cutting them into symmetrical halves, but I suspect it's due to the placement of the funnel itself.

Boxes!

Plotted perspective shows you have a good understand of two-point perspective, and the hatching lines are neatly packed.

Pages of rough perspective are looking really good! hatching lines are nicely placed aswell

For the rotated boxes, you're missing 4 far corner boxes. There should be 25 boxes in total, in which you only have 21.

Other than that they're really well done, and I see that you've done the optional hatching aswell, great practice.

And lastly, organic perspective, There are diverging lines, but that's to be expected at this stage. Overall you did really well.

And through all of that you're done with lesson 1!. All of these exercises will go into your warm-up pool for the 250 boxes challenge. Remember to be patient and take your time, I did not notice any repeated lines in order to correct your mistakes in these pages, and that's really good, I hope it transfers into the 250 boxes challenge.

Hi. that's fine if you simply misread the amount you were supposed to do. just remember not to grind.

I highly recommend getting printer paper. Sketchbook paper kills fineliners.

I hope this critique will be of use to you.

For your lines

Superimposed lines are drawn confidently. Fraying on the other end is expected. For the longer lines arcing when doing these in your warm ups, make a conscious effort to arc to the opposite direction to stop the arcing.

You did well on ghosted lines. The accuracy will come in time.

Onto ellipses

Your markmaking on the ellipses in planes exercise improved. Remember to keep the ellipse smooth and confident, even if it misses the intended mark entirely. Prioritize confidence over accuracy.

You did well in the tables of ellipses exercise. Remember not to draw through the ellipses more than 3 times though.

Don't deform the ellipses to fit within the boundary, once you put down the pen, go through with the mark, even if it misses the intended mark entirely.

Your ellipses in the funnels exercise are within the boundary, but the minor axis (line through the middle) needs to cut the ellipse in 2 symmetrical halves, I can see on the second page you took note of that actually. you did well.

Boxes

You did well on the plotted perspective exercise, although, you didn't draw through some of the boxes.

For your rough perspective pages, they're looking really, really good. Just remember not to repeat lines. once you put down a line pretend it's correct even if it's off, it'll help you in the long term.

Your page of rotated boxes show a good understanding of perspective. This is a really hard exercise.

Good job on the organic perspective pages. Some boxes do have diverging lines, but the 250 box challenge will come in to help with that.

All of these will go into your 10 - 15 minutes warm ups pool.

I wish you lots of patience on the 250 boxes challenge. and if you need help with anything the discord is extremely helpful.

Hi, I'll be reviewing your work. I hope this critique will help you improve.

Superimposed lines are looking good. Fraying on the other end but that's fine. Arcing lines on the longer lines can be worked on by putting in a conscious effort to arc it in the opposite direction.

Ghosted lines are looking good.

Ellipses in planes are looking good. Although some of the ellipses are wobbly and deformed. wobbliness and deformed lines/ellipses are from hesitance to go through with the mark you're about to make, once your pen touches the paper, you should go through with the mark, with full confidence. Even if it misses the intended mark entirely.

Ellipses

Tables of ellipses have ellipses drawn through 3 times, with passes that fall inside of the boundary. Good job

Funnels have ellipses inside the boundary. I see you corrected the funnels with the minor axis' off.

Boxes

You did well on the Plotted perspective exercise.

You did well on the Rough perspective exercise, I can see that you improved on the second page.

Your boxes in the Rotated boxes exercise show you have a great understanding of perspective. the boxes are drawn tightly and confidently. some boxes are off, but otherwise you've done a really good job.

Your pages of Organic perspective are done well. a few diverging lines.

These will go into your warm up pool. Have patience in the 250 boxes challenge.

Hello, I'll be reviewing your lesson 1 work. I hope this critique will be of use to you.

I may be wrong, but if you're using sketchbook paper, I recommend using printer paper.

Lines

Your superimposed lines look great. Executed with confidence. Fraying is to be expected. Longer lines are arching. When doing these in your warm ups, remember to put in a conscious effort to arch the opposite direction to correct this.

Ghosted lines are looking good. The wobbling lines are a sign of hesitance to go through with the mark. Once you put down the pen go through with it, with full confidence.

Ellipses in planes are looking really clean. Ellipses are drawn through twice with confidence, and minimal deforming. Some are a bit wobbly and out of bounds. Nothing practice can't fix

Ellipses

In your Tables of ellipses, you deformed some of the ellipses to fit inside the boundary and next to the other ellipses. Remember to prioritize smoothness, and confidence over accuracy. You did well nonetheless.

In your funnels exercise some are missing the arcing lines. The ellipses are inside the boundary. Good job

Boxes

Plotted perspective shows a good understanding of two-point perspective.

In your rough perspective pages, you improved a lot on your second page. Good job

Your page of Rotated boxes are done well, and shows a good understanding of perspective. Some are off, but the 250 box challenge will come in for that. Good job nonetheless.

In your 2 pages of Organic perspective, I see diverging lines, but the 250 boxes challenge (again) will come in for that. some boxes feel a bit rushed.

All of these will go into your warm ups pool.

Have patience with the 250 boxes challenge and use the discord for any help.

Hello, I'll be reviewing your lesson 1 work.

I hope that this critique will help you improve.

Lines

You did well on superimposed lines. Executed confidently. some fraying on the other end but that's to be expected. Arching lines on the longer lines, nothing practice can't fix. just remember to put in a conscious effort to stop the arching.

The wobbling lines are a sign of hesitance to execute the mark. Remember that once you put the pen down that you commit to the mark with full confidence.

Ghosted lines look good.

Ellipses in planes look good. Drawn with confidence, 2 passes. Although, some are deformed, and out of the plane's bounds. Nonetheless practice makes perfect.

Ellipses

Did well on the first Tables of Ellipses exercise. Your second page feels rushed. Remember to take your time and ghost everything.

Ellipses on the Funnels exercise are within bounds. However, I see that the minor axis (line through the middle) isn't splitting the ellipses in symmetrical halves.

Boxes

On your Plotted Perspective, I see that you didn't pull the line all the way back to the VP. Nonetheless, you did well.

The lines on the Rough Perspective pages were repeated. Do not repeat lines. This'll help you come to mistakes in the long-term, and makes the mistakes stand out less. On the second page I see that your ghosting towards the VP improved, and the lines look a lot cleaner.

Rotated Boxes is a really, really hard exercise and it isn't expected to be perfect. You rotated the boxes to the best of ability. A few of your boxes feel rushed, Remember to take your time and be patient. The boxes are drawn tight and confidently.

For the Organic Perspective exercises. You improved a bit. on the second page. There are diverging lines. However, you'll work on that in the 250 boxes challenge.

Good job. Have patience while doing the 250 boxes challenge.

All of these will go into your 10 - 15 minutes warm ups pool.
