Lines

Lines have quite a lot of wobble, remember you need to be confident in your lines first, then make a lot of bad lines, then make good lines. Confident swept with shoulder is the key.

Do not repeat your lines, no matter how bad they are, don't try to fix them with other one. Let them be bad.

Ellipses

Ellipses look okay, few things that I would like to point out.

Make sure you are drawing ellipses at diffrent angles when doing tables, most of your ellipses are at straight 90 degree angle.

Be confident in your loops. Your ellipses change directions violently, sometimes wobble, it needs to be one smooth motion no matter if it looks bad.

Boxes

Boxes look mostly good.

Hatching is important part of box exercises (mainly 250 box challange), it is pratice of drawing straight and even lines, it is important to make them as nice as you can make them. You scribbled one side of the box, without making them separate and ghosted lines.

In rotated boxes, you did not actually rotate the box. More info about it: https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/16/notrotating

Overall I think you are good to go.

Next Steps:

First of all, congratulations on finishing lesson 1! Your next step is the box challenge.

As I marked this as complete, you are now qualified to critique lesson 1 submissions.

-Doing critiques is a way of learning and solidifying concepts.

-Another thing is that as the number of current submissions is super high, if you critique some critiques, those would be less critiques I'd have to critique before reaching your next submissions, so you'd get your critiques faster.

It's totally optional of course, I won't force anyone to give critiques. But me and the other people who are critiquing would be super grateful if you gave it a shot.

Good luck on the box challenge, and keep up the good work!

NOTE: here's a quick guide on critiquing lesson 1 submissions.

There are a few people that feel hesitant to critique because they feel they aren't ready to it so hopefully it'll help you in case you are one of those people.

Thanks a lot for the critique! I'm really happy to have completed the first lesson!

I'll work on the rotated boxes and the tables of ellipses exercises on my next warmups. I'll also take note on the hatching you mentioned for the 250 box challenge.

Thanks again!

How to Draw by Scott Robertson

When it comes to technical drawing, there's no one better than Scott Robertson. I regularly use this book as a reference when eyeballing my perspective just won't cut it anymore. Need to figure out exactly how to rotate an object in 3D space? How to project a shape in perspective? Look no further.
