Hey there! I will be looking over your homework today ^^ Congrats on making it through the first lesson :>

I will be pointing out what I think you did well before explaining where I believe you have room to improve. If needed, I will ask you to do some revisions before sending you on your way.

Lines: I think you're doing a good job with the lines. You're aiming to place one confident line, bringing it from Point A to Point B. Fraying in the first assignment is normal to this degree and you'll improve on it if you decide to incorporate this assignment in your warm-ups, but I think this is totally fine. Throughout the lessons you also seem to be improving.

Ellipses: Your ellipses are looking good as well! Confident and smooth. One thing I noticed is that you seem to have trouble reaching all of the borders in the Table of Ellipses assignment. The assignment is to fit all the ellipses neatly within their respective boxes, also neatly against each other. You tend to have several openings here and there. I think you're improving by the Ellipses in Planes assignment, but you might want to keep an eye on it!

Boxes: Your boxes look good as well! Your lines are confident and smooth most of the time. The rest is just a matter of exercise so I wouldn't bother worrying about it. Just keep working on these things in your 15 minute warm ups and you'll be good to go!

This should be all, I don't think there's anything I could ask any revisions for, good job! You can head onto the 250 Box Challenge. Wishing you lots of luck and patience!

Also, your nail polish looks amazing!

Next Steps:

Head onto the 250 Box Challenge!

Below this point is mostly ads. Indie projects, and tool/course recommendations from us.

This section is reserved for low-cost advertising space for art related indie projects.
With how saturated the market is, it is tough for such projects to get eyes on their work.
By providing this section, we hope to help with that.

The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something we've used ourselves, or know to be of impeccable quality. If you're interested, here is a full list.

Printer Paper

Where the rest of my recommendations tend to be for specific products, this one is a little more general. It's about printer paper.

As discussed in Lesson 0, printer paper (A4 or 8.5"x11") is what we recommend. It's well suited to the kind of tools we're using, and the nature of the work we're doing (in terms of size). But a lot of students still feel driven to sketchbooks, either by a desire to feel more like an artist, or to be able to compile their work as they go through the course.

Neither is a good enough reason to use something that is going to more expensive, more complex in terms of finding the right kind for the tools we're using, more stress-inducing (in terms of not wanting to "ruin" a sketchbook - we make a lot of mistakes throughout the work in this course), and more likely to keep you from developing the habits we try to instill in our students (like rotating the page to find a comfortable angle of approach).

Whether you grab the ream of printer paper linked here, a different brand, or pick one up from a store near you - do yourself a favour and don't make things even more difficult for you. And if you want to compile your work, you can always keep it in a folder, and even have it bound into a book when you're done.
