Fortunately, my critiques are always honest - though keep in mind that what I'm looking for in these homework submissions is not always in line with what students think is important. Students often get caught up in things that are pretty insignificant in the grand scheme of things.

Starting with your super imposed lines, you're largely doing a pretty good job, but I am seeing a tendency to prioritize accuracy over the consistent trajectory of your lines. You're pretty good at both, but it's more important to me that your lines hold to the same straight path from the moment they take off at the starting point, than them actually holding true to the guideline they're following. As such, the slight course-corrections we can see in certain areas (especially on your first page, you get better with this in the second) are things you want to avoid. I'm a lot more loose with this for the non-straight superimposed lines, due to the additional difficulty, and when doing this critique I largely just focus on the ones that are straight.

Moving onto your ghosted lines, you're demonstrating the kind of confident execution I hope to see, along with a solid use of the planning and preparation phases to reinforce them with control and precision without increasing the hesitation as you make the mark. When we get into the second page of the ghosted planes exercise I do start to see just a little more hesitation, so keep an eye on that - it's common for the anxiety of drawing a mark that is part of something larger to throw us off, but remember that every line is really just that - a single line, and so it's no different from executing one in isolation. I am nitpicking here however - throughout your ghosted planes are still well done.

Moving onto your ellipses, I do feel that these are a touch more rigid than the confident strokes in your ghosted lines. Remember that the same principles apply here - prioritizing confidence in order to achieve an even, rounded shape, and the use of the ghosting method as a whole to achieve that. Overall you're not far off, but there are places where the ellipses feel bumpier than they ought to.

You noticeably recover from this when getting into the ellipses in planes though - here you're clearly prioritizing the shape integrity of each ellipse over getting them to fit snugly within the planes themselves, and that is exactly what I want to see. Getting the ellipse to touch all four edges is important, but only once the integrity of the shape is maintained.

I am admittedly noticing a tendency in your funnels to get a little wobbly once again however, and also the ellipses' alignment appears to slant slightly relative to that central minor axis line. Definitely an exercise to keep an eye on.

Jumping down to your rough perspective boxes, your line quality is good but I'm seeing signs that you may not be as conscientious in applying the ghosting method here. Some students, when faced with drawing boxes, will continue to use the ghosting method, but change where they invest their time, often putting more time towards execution in order to make the marks a little more carefully. This, of course, is incorrect - the execution phase is for confident motion and trusting in muscle memory. All time needs to be put towards the planning and preparation phases.

For your rotated boxes, you're doing a good job of keeping the gaps between your boxes narrow and consistent so as to eliminate any unnecessary guesswork. The rotation of the boxes however can use some work, as you're falling into the mistake explained here. Also, in the corner there where you write "ignore" - don't correct your mistakes. Once a mark is on the page, you're committed, and if you attempt to hide or correct or otherwise explain away a mistake, it will only draw more attention to it. Just leave it be.

Lastly, your organic perspective boxes is definitely a pretty big shift from the rest of your work. The lines are all a great deal thicker, so I imagine you're working with a different pen, or pressing very hard. Either way, it does feel considerably clumsier. Now, this exercise is just an introduction to the concept of constructing freely rotated boxes. I don't actually have any expectations for what students should be able to achieve with it, and as far as it all goes, you've got a good start and I'm pleased to see the fact that you've decided to draw through your boxes here. I don't mention that students should do that in the instructions, but I also don't tell them not to - this is specifically so those who are revisiting lesson 1 can decide for themselves (and to that end, you've made the right decision).

That said, there is still plenty of room for improvement in getting your sets of parallel lines to converge more consistently towards their shared vanishing points, but we'll have ample opportunity to work on that next. Just be sure not to do whatever it is you're doing that's resulting in lines that are so much thicker.

So! With that, I'll go ahead and mark this lesson as complete.
