Hi Santy,
I will be reviewing your homework today.
Starting with your pages of super imposed lines exercise, your lines look confident. There is slight fraying in your second page in a few lines, but overall it looks good. The ghosted lines exercise looks good. There is no wobbling of lines. The ghosted planes exercise looks remarkable. You have drawn all your planes in different perspective. The first page of the exercise has some lines with slight wobbling, you should look out for that. The table of ellipses are looks very good. The ellipses are in bound and don't overlap. The ellipses in planes exercise looks remarkable. All the ellipses are well-bound and inside the planes. The funnels exercise looks good. The minor axis cuts the ellipses in half. The plotted perspective looks good. You were supposed to divide the page into 3 frames and do the exercise in each. But I think you understand the aims of the exercise. The rough perspective exercise looks okay. I can see some repeated lines here. You should avoid that, if you messed up a line, you should keep it as it is and move on. The rotated perspective exercise looks good. Oganic perspective exercise looks good too.
Overall, I think you have understood the main aims of the lesson. Congratulations of completing Lesson 1. Always remember to draw from your shoulder. Keep coming back to these exercises as warm up in the future. Have fun with the 50/50 rule. I think you are ready to move on to the step, the 250 box challenge.
Next Steps:
Move on to the 250 box challenge.
Come back to these exercises as warm up (for 10-15 minutes)

Hi there,
I agree with what Introvert2005 said and like to add a little something: if you hatch, make sure to ghost your lines just as you do every other line (no scribbles etc).
Also take your time with the exercises. You'll learn a lot more if you do so. DaB in general is a marathon and not a sprint. It really helped me to set my goal to "draw x minutes each day" instead of "draw x boxes a day". The amount of boxes you manage during that time will increase the further you get. It also helped me to do DaB at a specific time slot each day.
Other than that, great job and have fun with the 250 box challenge

It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
Staedtler Pigment Liners
These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.
Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
