Hello, congrats on making it through! I'll be looking over your submission.

Lines Your lines look pretty good! Some of them are slightly arced but that's okay. Just make sure that you are drawing from your shoulder. As for the superimposed lines exercise, drawing curved lines is very difficult but it's something you should try to get better at.

Ellipses Your ellipses get a bit deformed sometimes. Not a huge issue though, just make sure that you are prioritizing confidence over accuracy. Funnels exercise looks good, ellipses are mostly aligned. However, I've noticed that you misaligned your minor axis occasionally. Just something to keep in mind.

Plotted/Rough Perspective Plotted perspective looks great! Other than some slight wobbling, rough perspective looks good too!

Rotated Boxes It's clear that you've followed the instructions to the best of your ability, good job!

Organic Perspective I noticed that sometimes you've placed one small box in between two bigger ones. Not a big deal but keep in mind that going from bigger to smaller is what creates depth here. Other than some small mistakes (lines diverging occasionally, angle of the Y smaller than 90 degrees in some boxes), your boxes look pretty good! I'm sure that they'll be better after the 250 boxes challenge.

Overall, not bad! I just need one (or a half) page of superimposed lines that aren't straight before marking this lesson as complete. I'm sure that won't be an issue :)

Next Steps:

Try doing some wavy/arced superimposed lines. you can take a look here for reference. Good luck!

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

Hello!

First of all, thank you for your feedback, and I apologize for my late reply. The feedbacks you are provided made me glad, and encouraged me to even go further beyond!

I have uploaded my wavy/arced superimposed lines on the link down, which I believe will wrap this whole lesson 1 up! :)

I'm glad my feedback helped you! Superimposed lines looks good, good job!!

I'm marking this lesson as complete, you can move on to the 250 boxes challenge if you haven't already. Keep it up! :)

Next Steps:

Move on to the 250 boxes challenge, make sure to use some of the exercises from this lesson as a warmup later on.

Ellipse Master Template

Ellipse Master Template

This recommendation is really just for those of you who've reached lesson 6 and onwards.

I haven't found the actual brand you buy to matter much, so you may want to shop around. This one is a "master" template, which will give you a broad range of ellipse degrees and sizes (this one ranges between 0.25 inches and 1.5 inches), and is a good place to start. You may end up finding that this range limits the kinds of ellipses you draw, forcing you to work within those bounds, but it may still be worth it as full sets of ellipse guides can run you quite a bit more, simply due to the sizes and degrees that need to be covered.

No matter which brand of ellipse guide you decide to pick up, make sure they have little markings for the minor axes.
