    ok I think you did better. Try to practice that as you continue, do a few planes with ellipses as warm ups before the boxes exercises because i found that it helped me! even in future lessons and exercises, its good to do. Good luck, I say you deserve to pass! sorry for taking so long to answer. I'm in college and i had two tests to study for.

    Next Steps:

    Do the lines & ellipses exercises as warm-ups for future lessons. dont abandon those fundamental exercises as you move forward!

    I wasn't sure if i should have overlapped the lines but i completely forgot i could use the superimposed method for that. I'll move on to the next challenge. Thank you so much for your valuable feedback! I'll definitely apply your criticism to my future warm-ups and boxes

    thank you so much. this feedback was really helpful and I'm going to make sure I inplement nore confidence in how I execute my lines amd ellipses. I'll try go do longer warm-ups because i do maybe a page before i start my exercises.

    I personally look at the center of the shape I'm drawing, but I'm not exactly perfect!

    I think you did well for the most part. My critique would go to the rotating boxes and the planes with ellipses. With the rotating boxes exercise, it was a little hard for me to tell the boxes following the overlapping loop perspective (sorry if I'm not making sense). Though, I think it's excusable! My second critique for the ellipses on the planes is it seems you're not really as confident with drawing them. Try to reduce circling around up to 2-3 rounds and make sure you're at a comfortable angle when you draw those ellipses! They're hard to do.

    Next Steps:

    Like I said in my critique, I think its good for you to redo the ellipses exercise only with the planes. I feel as though your ellipses are not confident enough because to me most of them seem to come out of the plane or you're circling it too much. Try to be less anxious about keeping it in, rely a little on ghosting and do it 3 times. Then try to only draw 2 laps for 2 times. Avoid going too slow.

    When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

    with the lines fraying on the very first exercise, I thought they were separating a lil bit too much, so it made me wonder if you were alternating between using your shoulder pivot or just your elbow. For the ellipses in the table, it seems like you should work on confidence with ghosting and drawing those ellipses.

    Other than that, I think you grasp the concept very well. It would be a pass from me because you seem to understand perspective and for lesson 1 it looks like you have enough confidence as you draw the material more.

    Next Steps:

    I would practice confidence with moving your shoulder. I recommend moving it around a little bit before you start drawing so each time you remember the feeling of moving your shoulder as you draw!

These are my favourite sketchbooks, hands down. Move aside Moleskine, you overpriced gimmick. These sketchbooks are made by entertainment industry professionals down in Los Angeles, with concept artists in mind. They have a wide variety of sketchbooks, such as toned sketchbooks that let you work both towards light and towards dark values, as well as books where every second sheet is a semitransparent vellum.
