Lesson 1: Lines, Ellipses and Boxes

Should've done this a lot sooner, but better late than never, right? Anyways, thanks for taking a look!
Hello chieftang, welcome to drawabox.
They look confident. For superimposed lines, Remember that there should only be fraying on one side, not both. Pretty sure its only one page of ghosted lines but hey nothing wrong with more practice. You also could have put your ellipses in the first planes that you had but more practice right.
Ellipses:
I like your tables of ellipses, they look really confident and you are only drawing through 2-3 times. For your funnels, you should not draw the ellipse in the middle.
Boxes:
Your boxes also seem pretty confident. The first part in your plotted perspective looks really confusing but the second two look much better. Your rotated boxes look good too.
Next Steps:
250 box challenge
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).
