Hello, and welcome to drawabox. A big congrats on completing Lesson 1 – let’s take a look at it!

Starting with your superimposed lines, these look good. You’ll sometimes alter their trajectory (don’t!), but they’re smooth, and properly lined up at the start, so there’s that. The ghosted lines/planes look confident, but I notice that you’ve not plotted any start/end points for the non-diagonal center lines of your planes – please do, all lines need these.

The table of ellipses exercise looks solid. There’s not too much variety as far as their degrees go, but the what’s here is confident, and mostly round. I say mostly, because you’ll draw a pointy ellipse, from time to time. To fix that, make it a habit to check back, to confirm that your marks are still originating from your shoulder; sometimes, students will switch to a lesser pivot (elbow/wrist) without realizing it. The ellipses in planes are well done – they maintain their prior smoothness/roundness, despite these new, more complicated frames. Finally, the funnels are nicely done. If you could spend a tiiiny bit longer ghosting them, then the spacing issues would mostly resolve themselves, too, but for now, all that matters is that they’re properly cut in half by their respective axes.

The plotted perspective exercise is well done, though you should’ve used a ruler for the hatching lines.

The rough perspective exercise shows some solid improvement throughout the set. Regarding convergences, these are mostly good, but you need to spend a second longer to confirm that your points add up to lines that are properly parallel/perpendicular to the horizon before you commit to them. As for your linework, be sure to draw a little more confidently (remember that there’s no difference, so far as the process of drawing a line is concerned, between these lines, and the ones in the ghosted lines exercise), and to resist the urge to correct an incorrect line.

The rotated boxes exercise is a little mixed. Overall, particularly up front, it looks good. But you’ve barely drawn through any of your diagonal boxes, and here, too, the linework is lacking (the hatching, in particular – wrist, I’m guessing?) It’s important to take your time on every single mark that you make; that level of forethought, and planning, is one of the most important qualities we want from our students.

From the amount of overshooting present, I’d guess that you’ve not plotted any start/end points for all of lines that make up your boxes in the organic perspective exercise. It’s important to – not only to show their direction, but also their length. Aside from that, however (and the fact that a box overlapping another hides its lines), the exercise looks solid. As a result of their size, and foreshortening, your boxes flow quite well.
