    I have no critique as i haven't gotten to lesson 2 yet but you need to do the 250 box challenge first before lesson 2 as it helps with line confidence and understanding the 3d space. If you have done that you need to post it as it may help people critiquing your work what you still need help with. Also as the other person said don't goof around too much as it won't help you learn any concrete skills and wont help you develop that confidence you need for your future lessons (50 percent rule.)

    I know you've taken this to learn how to draw but if your not serious about it you won't be able to take in the info that will be needed in future lessons that could use things that you've learned from past lessons. I would also say to redo it and make sure to do the 250 box challenge after you finish lesson 1 again. Learn well, Stay serious, Stay Committed. Good Luck!!

    Next Steps:

    Read lesson 0 again and reread and redo lesson 1. Also don't forget about the 250 box challenge after.

    When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

    Ok, Thanks so much for this clarification

    Thank you so much for this thorough review but I'm a little confused by what you mean by arcing the arm slightly in the opposite direction.

    I dont have much to say as im still on lesson 1 but ive got a few pointers that may help you out. Starting with your superimposed lines I see that a-lot of your lines are fraying at the beginning and don't really have a clear starting point. Next with you ghosted lines. You hit most of your point but i still see a little bit of wobble. when your drawing make sure you use your whole arm with one fluid motion with confidence. Same thing with your ghosted planes with the ellipses. When your doing the ghosted planes with ellipses try to fit more on the page and make sure that the ellipses are fitting snug inside the plane. Onto your table of ellipses. looking at your ellipses i see that they are very wobbly and have alot of space in between them. The wobble is most likely caused by not using your whole arm. Its also the same thing with your ellipses in the funnels. Make sure they are closer together as well. For plotted perspective you did pretty good but make sure that the third vp or the vertical lines that make the face of the cubes are perpendicular with the horizon. That's all the tips I have if any of them weren't clear please reply back. You may also want to post this to other places like discord or the reddit to see if you can get more feedback as well. I also noticed that you asked if you should redo them. I think that redoing them may help you but also re reading the lessons may as well. I hope this helped!

    thanks for the response I'll be sure to remember to plot the other center line as well.

    I've been jumping around on lesson one which I shouldn't do so I'm going back in order. I've already previously done all of lesson one excercises but I wanna redo them, but thanks for still critiquing my submissions

    Thanks for the clarification. I see what mistakes I made and I'll know to hold my ruler straighter so the third vp will always go to infinity.

    thanks for the critique and reply but I'm still confused about the lines being perpendicular. Does it mean to make sure the lines that are coming from the horizon cross the vertical lines which are coming from the third vanishing point that isnt visible?

Staedtler Pigment Liners

Staedtler Pigment Liners

These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.

Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
