Hey; welcome to drawabox. I’ll be looking through your lesson 1 submission today.

Starting with your superimposed lines, these are mostly good, especially on page 2. They’re smooth, and properly lined up at the start, but not always of a consistent trajectory, so be mindful of that. Also, it would’ve been nice to see some arcing lines, too, but I suppose that’s alright. The ghosted lines look fairly confident, too, save for some hesitation at their starts/ends. The former is likely due to you spending longer than needed lining up your pen. The latter, to slowing down as you’re approaching the end point, in an effort to not overshoot. Adjust accordingly.

The table of ellipses exercise looks solid, and it does improve quite a bit in its second page, but even there, your ellipses have a habit of stating off a little stiff. Ghost until comfortable, then commit. Any earlier, and your insecurity will be reflected in your linework. Remember our priorities: smoothness and roundness are paramount; accuracy is nice to have, but it’s not necessary. The ellipses in planes look a little better in this respect, but there’s still traces of it here and there, so continue pushing in that direction. The funnels are more of the same, which is to say that save for this issue, they look good – their ellipses are snug, and properly cut into two equal, symmetrical halves by their minor axes.

The plotted perspective exercise looks clean – nicely done.

The rough perspective exercise is well done – your linework is confident, and your convergences, both the 2 sets that should be parallel/perpendicular to the horizon, and the one that’s meant to converge, are solid – save for one issue, that of automatic reinforcing. I will remind you that each line is drawn once, and only once, regardless of how it turns out. Try to resist the urge to ‘correct’ and incorrect line, especially since the action doesn’t fix your mistakes – it just makes them stand out that much more.

Save for that issue, and the fact that the hatching lines seem to have been drawn using your wrist, the rotated boxes exercise looks solid. Your boxes are snug, and do a good job of rotating; most important of all, however: you’ve seen the exercise to the end, and completed it to the best of your ability. One advice I’ll give you for next time is to draw a little bigger; it’s essential in giving your brain some room to think, which comes in handy in this exercise.

The organic perspective exercise is really well done. There’s a lot of boxes, and a fair number of overlaps, too. The boxes themselves are correct, they increase in size, but maintain a consistent, shallow foreshortening as they do. As a result, they convey the illusion of flow quite well.
