hey Wamz! i'm Koyomi and i'm going to review your lesson 1 submission.
1. lines
your lines are good, really confident and clean so props for that! that's where students often struggle the most.
some of them are arching though, it can happen if you use your elbow instead of the shoulder but it can also happen if you use your shoulder too, so in this case try to arch consciously in the opposite direction.
2. ellipses
on the ellipses in planes exercise you worry too much about your accuracy, remember to ghost your ellipses and to be confident.
on your funnels, remember to follow the minor axis and to "cut" your ellipses in two symmetrical halfs
3. boxes
i have not much to say about your boxes you've done a pretty good job!
Next Steps:
move on to the 250 boxes challenge, don't forget the 50% rule and good luck!!
thank you very much for your feedback, I will practice my ellipses more and try to not using my elbows
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).
