Hello Apus apus,

your work clearly shows an understanding of the tasks! Well done! Let's get through them one by one!

Your superimposed lines are in accordance with the instructions. You clearly made sure to hit the beginning each time and performed a confident stroke afterwards! The fraying at the end of lines is expected, and accuracy will improve with future lessons.

Similarly, the execution of the ghosted lines is well done: Your lines are mostly confident and you end (somewhat) close to your second dot. I do see some wobbles though and it seems to me as if they were predominantly at the beginning of the line? So what I would ask you to reflect upon: Is there some uncertainty with which you are beginning your marks? If so, I would suggest to focus a bit on really committing before you make the mark. Not a split-second after you began. You can practice this during warmups when you repeat some of the lesson 1 tasks, but also try to get into this mindset when doing future lessons.

Another possible origin of such wobbles could be the activation of the wrist? Learning to draw from the shoulder is tricky and I myself also struggle sometimes with not falling back into elbow & wrist movements.

I would advice you to find the origin of these wobbles so you can actively work on it in the future.

Your ghosted planes look quite nice. Again, some wobble is noticeable, but not too bad. You improved further in hitting your dots and I am quite impressed by how well your intersecting lines cross each other in the center!

Well done!

Your ellipses inside the planes look good as well! You drew through them exactly 2 times and most of them manage to touch all four edges! Most of them look also very smooth!

The ellipses in "tables of ellipses" neatly fit into their space and look smooth. Well done!

The funnels were a little bit more challenging, I see, since some of your (presumably early) attempts do not quite match the size of the ellipses to the width of the funnel. I think it is easy to be "primed" by the smaller ellipses you do before and to underestimate the increase in size that follows. But you adapted and most of your funnels look very neat! Don't forget that mistakes of this kind can be prevented by the ghosting method, so make sure you really use it in your assignments!

Your plotted perspective homework looks neat and clean!

Nice hatching btw!

With the rough perspective I see the wobbles creeping back in. Try to check while ghosting that you are sure what you want to do and that you are moving from the shoulder and your lines will become smoother with practice!

There is some bias in your rough perspective as you seem to like vanishing points to be closer to the boxes. This is not a bad thing at all! This lesson shows us such biases in our spatial constructions for the first time and we learn a lot from such systematic mistakes. Maybe you have a default box in your mind that interferes with the box you want to draw. Or it felt a bit scary to let the edges of the boxes converge less. If you can identify your bias, you can address it.

Your rotated boxes though.... Nice! My attempt looked like a potato! You managed to approximate an actual sphere quite well! You drew both visible and invisible edges, you rotated the boxes very nicely... I really have to compliment you on this one! :)

Your linework also is standing out here. Maybe the restrictions in how to place the boxes helped you somewhat?

I also like your organic perspective even though the lines get a bit messy here and there. But I like the rotations and especially the last one looks really fun!

So, to sum it up: I think you start off quite well with your first set of homework!

I have the feeling you might have a strength in the spatial aspects of lesson 1, but the execution of the single marks can be improved upon.

Both aspects come together in the 250 box challenge. I think you are ready to tackle it. Just keep working on your lines and you will be fine!

Good luck!
