Lesson 1: Lines, Ellipses and Boxes

Please check out my homeworks. Thank you.
Hi, good job on going through lesson 1 !
Lines
-Your lines only have fraying on one end, which is the right thing to do
-Your ghosted lines are straighter than your superimposd lines
-Your planes too, nothing to say on them. You overshot some, which is prefered over trying to get the perfect length while having a wobbly line.
Ellipses
-Your ellpises in planes ar edrawn through, and you visibly attempte to keep them in planes, which is good.
Your tables of ellipses are quite close to each other, which is important.
Your funnels' ellipses are aligned with the axis, while they snuggle in, whivh is intended.
Boxes
-Your plotted perspective seems good, as it respects the told instructions.
-Rough perspective has some lines that you went over again, and your lines look less straight than on exercise 1. Keep in mind that it is more important to have straight lines than lines of the good size for the future.
-Your rotated boxes are good, apart for some boxes which should have been a bit more rotated
-Your organic perspective have dramatic forshortening for some of them, try to avoid doing so in your 250 boxes.
I'll mark your lesson as complete, but keep in mind that your lines should prioritize confidence over being precise, and try to avoid dramatic forshortening !
Next Steps:
The 250 boxes challenge !
Thank you for your time.
This is a remarkable little pen. I'm especially fond of this one for sketching and playing around with, and it's what I used for the notorious "Mr. Monkey Business" video from Lesson 0. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.
Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.
I would not recommend this for Drawabox - we use brush pens for filling in shadow shapes, and you do not need a pen this fancy for that. If you do purchase it, save it for drawing outside of the course.
