First off, I want to compliment you for your incredibly efficient use of page space! And clean markmaking- especially in the case of the plotted perspective pages!

From what I can tell, it looks like you've done a good job executing marks with your shoulder- even on many of the smaller ellipses within the tables.

I'm seeing a little bit of uneveness in the ellipses within tables- understansable, since you definitley have some extreme tables on the page (all good!) I don't think you need to redo it at all, but it might be a fun one to look at for later warmup sessions! :)

Even between the two instances of rough perspective, I saw a strong improvement!

Even though I see you were none too thrilled with the result of the rotated boxes excercise, all the fundamntasl are there, and the rotstions themsleves look nice! That may be a good one to bring back as wamup as well. That said, I am new to this myself, and may be missing something!

overall, as far as I can gather from the critique guide and my own memory, you seem to have a good grasp on that marerial! I think you're alright to move on to the 250 box challenge- here's hoping others agree!

Hello, and congratulations on finishing lesson 1! I'll be handling your critique.

Superimposed lines

Your lines are well excuated. I see no fraying from the start of your lines. You've drawn them with a nice, clean, confident stroke.

Ghosted lines

Your ghosted lines also well done. One thing I've noticed is you have a small bit of wobble here. Remember to use the ghosting method a few times to get a clean, confident stroke.

Ghosted planes

I think you forgot to post your work without the ellipses. It's fine, I'll just review it as I see it. I see an increased amount of wobbling here. You should take your time and use the ghosting method two to three times to make a clear, confident stroke. You shouldn't worry about accuracy here. What matters is that you have a smooth, unbroken line. Accuracy should come with millage.

Tables of ellispes

Your ellipses are also well drawn, they fit nice and snugly with each other. I can also see you've been using the ghosting method and drawn your ellipses at least two to three times. You did well here.

Ellipses in planes

There's some minor wobbling here, I can assume you had a bit of difficulty drawing your ellipse. You can use the ghosting method to test different speeds to try and get a clean stroke. I like that you're trying to hit all the borders of the planes. Everything else seems solid.

Funnels

Your funnels are well drawn here, and I liked how you managed to fit your ellipses nice and snug with each other. However, I did notice some of your ellipses don't line up with the major axes. This is a common mistake some people make in this exercise. You want to make sure that the minor axis cuts each ellipse into two equal, symmetrical halves down their narrower dimension.

Plotted perspective

You've done well here and followed the lesson material as intended. I also liked how you took the time to cross-hatch your boxes. There's not much to say here.

Rough perspective

I see some more wobbing here, probably from the ever-increasing complexity of the task. Remember, you're still supposed to draw with your shoulder and use the ghosting method for all your lines. I liked how you extended your back lines correctly and drew inside your boxes.

Rotated boxes

This is a very difficult excerise that you pulled off well. You've shown good line weight here and drawn the boxes nice and well fit with each other. I also see that your boxes are clearly rotating toward a vanashing point. There's not much to say you've done well here.

And finally, organic perspective

I see a good amount of foreshorting and size variety in your boxes. Your lines are also clean and confident. It will only get better with the 250 box challenge.

Overall, this was a solid submission. I think you've shown a good understanding of the lesson 1 material. If you have any questions about your submission, you can simply reply below. I'll think I can confidently mark this submission as complete.
