Congrats on finishing lesson 1!
I'll be reviewing your homework.
LINES
Your superimposed lines look great, you correctly placed the pen at the start of your lines most of the time. Your lines are confident, you should try to draw by arcing voluntarily the other way. The main problem I see is that, when you mess up a stroke in a set of long lines, you tend to correct it mid-way so that it reaches the end point in the longer. It’s better if you just let it go the wrong way as long as it’s smooth.
In the ghosted lines and planes exercise you are missing some of the dots, but that's okay, accuracy comes with practice.
ELLIPSES
Your ellipses in the table of ellipses and ellipses in planes are tightly packed and confident, but you sometimes go through them more than 2 times, especially in the larger ones. Also make sure to keep the rotation of each panel the same, unlike in https://imgur.com/a/a3ka4cR.
Your funnels are great, make sure to cut ellipses in 2 symmetrical halves using the minor axis.
BOXES
In rough perspective width lines are parallel to horizon and height lines perpendicular to horizon, nicely done. The boxes tend to not align too well with the VP, but that is expected for the first freehand boxes exercise. You will improve at this in the 250 boxes challenge.
You did really well in the rotated boxes exercise, for such a difficult task.
Organic Perspective: because you didn't add any lineweight to the overlapping boxes, it's often difficult to tell which lines belong to which box. Lineweight should be added just to the section of the lines that will overlap, not to the entire line. (For further information, see the exercise video). Also, some boxes are marked twice on the same lines; do not do this. Incorrect marks are here to teach you.
Overall, you demonstrated significant development. I believe you comprehend the majority of the concepts being conveyed in these lectures. Before you begin the 250-box challenge, I'd want you to complete one page of organic perspective by following the exercise's instructions.
