Hi Nugget, welcome to Draw a Box!
I've checked your submission,
First of all your lines start out pretty good, they are showing confidence and it looks like you are trying to keep them straight, don't worry about accuracy that comes with time and practice, now your main focus should be confidence. Remember, to take your time ghosting and repeating the motion of the line, that's were your confidence should come from.
Overall ellipses are looking good, I can clearly see that you are putting the focus on the confidence and not accuracy, you are going through them only twice, which is good, more than this makes the ellipse look messy. If I had to give you advice on this one, would be the same as your lines, accuracy takes time, focus on confidence as you are already doing and take you time ghosting.
I have an issue with your boxes exercises, I think that your perspective is looking good and that you are improving, but the line quality is so bad, that I cannot say things for sure. It looks like this was probably a mix between you not being very comfortable with using a pen, and the pen running out of ink. Remember to try to have alway a back up pen, this will help you to show clearly to the one reviewing your work, you are not doing your work just for you, you are also presenting it to the community so they can give you feedback on what you can improve. So if you have a clear lesson, you will have some good and clear feedback!
One last thing, I see that you changed some exercises like the rough perspective and the plotted perspective ones, you were supposed to divde the page in threes and there do an exerrcises in each rectagle. This time it's not that big of a deal since it's your first lesson, but from now on, read the instructions carefully since some exercises are supposed to be done in only one way.
I'm gonna mark this lesson as completed! Your next step is the 250 Box Challenge, keep it up.
Next Steps:
Now comes the 250 Box Challenge, It's not that hard, just scary. This challenge it's all about two things: constancy and determination. Don't try to rush through the challenge, take your time and try to make the most of every box. Try to do it regularly, if you can daily, go for it! I started it out by doing 10 boxes a day (5 boxes it's my personal best amount for each page, though don't do more than 6) and when I got the hang of it I did 15, and then continued like that up to the end. Remember, slow and steady.
Try to make the most from this challenge!
The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw
Right from when students hit the 50% rule early on in Lesson 0, they ask the same question - "What am I supposed to draw?"
It's not magic. We're made to think that when someone just whips off interesting things to draw, that they're gifted in a way that we are not. The problem isn't that we don't have ideas - it's that the ideas we have are so vague, they feel like nothing at all. In this course, we're going to look at how we can explore, pursue, and develop those fuzzy notions into something more concrete.
