Congratulations on completing lesson 1!
I can see you put a lot of effort into completing your homework to the best of your ability. When I look at your lines homework, particularly the super-imposed lines and ghosted lines, I can see that you do a good job of making rich dark marks and that you are trying to be careful and accurate. I can also see a good amount of hesitation and wobbling in many of your lines here. One thing I recommend is reading this response writtend by Uncomfortable where he talks about the ghosting method and hesitation in mark making. I will add that you do appear to improve on the wobbling and hesitation in your planes homework but it is still present throughout your lesson homework as a whole.
In your tables of ellipses homework you appear to have not drawn through many of your ellipses correctly. Drawing through your ellipses is a very important step and you can read more about why that is here. If you are every struggling with the lessons, your first step should be to consult the instructions as they will tell you what your next step is. I recommend for your future warm ups that you stick to drawing through your ellipses twice so that you can better focus on employing the ghosting method correctly. In your ellipses in planes homework your ellipses have a bit less wobble and are beginning to look more like the round, confidently shaped ellipses we look for in Drawabox. Your funnels also show some signs of improvement and I can see that you are being careful in where you place them. If you keep in mind what I've mentioned here and read the response I linked, you should begin to see improvement in your ellipses over time.
With your rough perspective homework you placed your boxes fairly well. Your horizontal lines stay largely parallel to the horizon and your vertical lines are fairly perpendicular. You also did a pretty good job of getting your boxes to converge near or on your plotted vanishing points. Your line quality goes down a bit here, especially when compared to your planes homework. Keep in mind as you progress through Drawabox and begin to construct more complex forms that it is important to put in the time and focus required to execute each line correctly and to apply the ghosting method to every step of the process, as explained here.
The rotated boxes exercise is a challenging and complex exercise. I can see that you struggled with this exercise and thats okay. Like I said, it's challenging. You did do a pretty good job of trying to construct your boxes with cleaner, more consistent lines. The main thing that I see here is that your boxes are not really rotating much along the major axes. You can read more about that here. Don't forget what I said before about referring the instructions frequently and remember, you can always ask questions in the community or on the Drawabox discord if you are really struggling.
Finally for your organic perspective boxes I can see you were more careful with your construction and there is less hesitation overall in your mark making, which is good to see! You did a pretty good job of trying to get your sets of lines to converge more consistently towards their shared vanishing points. That is something you will work on more in the next steps.
Next Steps:
I would like you to do one page of ellipses in planes before moving on to the 250 Box Challenge. Be sure to read all the links I gave you before starting. What I am looking for in your revisions is less hesitation in your mark making overall. That means making clean, consistent, confident lines drawn from the shoulder using the ghosted method. Not just the lines that make up your planes but your ellipses as well. Take your time and give each step as much care as you need to execute each mark you make to the best of your current ability.
