Hey, congrats with finishing lesson 1!

I think the biggest feedback I can give is to be more confident in your lines. Makes strokes confidently, and if you make a mistake, don't get nervous and start chicken scratching for the answer. Overshooting lines can be frustrating, but I believe that will get better with time, as well as diligent thought.

Your ellipses don't always hold their course, and I think that's a matter of getting warmed up and drawing loosely from your shoulder. The funnel ellipses had a tendency to tilt left(?) a bit, so just be aware of that.

You've got a pretty good understanding of perspective, which may be part of the reason why you try to correct your 'incorrect' lines. I think this will get better over time, and some conscious understanding and acceptance of your lines would go a long ways.

Keep up the good work! :)

Next Steps:

250 Box Challenge to become more comfortable drawing confident lines and boxes.

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

This is a remarkable little pen. Technically speaking, any brush pen of reasonable quality will do, but I'm especially fond of this one. 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.
