Hello, congrats on completing Lesson 1.
Superimposed lines are smooth, properly lined up at the start, and of a consistent trajectory.
The ghosted lines are confident but in some of them they tend to arc a little at the end. Usually, this means that it is likely you are decreasing speed to the end, in an effort to not stop short of, or overshoot it. It is expected to draw the lines to be confident, and straight, more than accurate. Meaning: try to keep a consistent speed throughout.
Ghosted planes are looking good and well executed.
The table of ellipses try to stick to 2-3 rotations, if you can. Also, elipses in planes exercises looks good. They’re smooth, rounded, and properly drawn through.
The plotted perspective exercise you seem to have gotten what it is wanted out of it, so it’s all good.
The rough perspective exercise is well done. I have nothing to add.
The rotated boxes exercise is a little small, it is recommended to draw a little bit bigger. The lineweight and the back faces of the boxes are missing, but these things are expected. This exercise is here to improve knowledge of boxes. It is a good start but can be improved in the future exercises.
The organic perspective exercise generally looks good about the perspective and boxes variety. The boxes seem to be quite seperate though a few overlaps would’ve pushed your drawing even further.
Next Steps:
Good luck on 250 boxes.
The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
PureRef
This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.
When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.
Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
