Hello Chris!

Well done on completing Lesson 1 and starting your journey on DAB!

Overall your work is pretty good, just a couple of small things to go over.

Superimposed Lines:

No glaring issues here, well done. Continue to work on these in your warmups just to improve the accuracy (as the lines fray towards the end). It may be helpful to draw small perpendicular lines (with a ruler) at the start and end points of the line you're drawing across.

Ghosted Lines:

Mostly okay, but be sure to keep your lines from wobbling. Confidence is far more important than accuracy, focus on keeping them straight before worrying about anything else. Remember to ghost Each and every line (and this includes all of those wonderful boxes you'll be doing in the 250 box challenge).

Ghosted Planes:

It might've been a good idea to take a picture of your ghosted planes before you went back and draw your ellipses over them just for reference. This'll be important when you get to lesson 2, so be sure to photograph each exercise you do for submission before you go back and add alterations for another homework.

Mostly fine. Take note of the same issues from the ghosted lines exercise, prioritize confidence and ghost as many times as you need. Work on getting all of your lines to intersect at the centre of the plane, that's important for this exercise.

Tables of Ellipses:

Good attempt, just be careful to keep your ellipses within their own boundaries, not overlapping into adjacent ellipses or cutting through the frame. Just like your lines, make sure you draw your ellipses confidently with the ghosting method.

Ellipses in Planes:

These are good. One or two ellipses seem to deform slightly within their plane, possibly indicating a lack of confidence in your line-work. Most of them are good, so this isn't a huge issue, just a small point to keep in mind moving forward. Your main priority is to create a smooth, elliptical shape that doesn't wobble or deform.

Funnels:

These are also quite good. Just make sure that the line running down the middle cuts each and every ellipse in half.

Plotted Perspective:

No issues here.

Rough Perspective:

Very wobbly lines here. Otherwise, good attempt at this exercise. This is a difficult homework, so don't worry about it not being perfect (you'll get lots of practise with boxes and perspective later)

Rotated Boxes:

This is a solid attempt. Well done. Just try to keep your boxes lined up against eachother a little more.

Organic Perspective:

Another good attempt.

Hi!

You have some super confident linework, both the superimposed lines, ghosted lines and ghosted planes are smooth and confident. You really killed this part, good job.

You ellipses are also confident and snug, both in the first exercise and in the funnels. Some of them get messy when you seem to do 3-4 passes instead of 2 - You should stick with doing exactly 2 passes.

When you get to the boxes, you start wobbling your linework - are you more nervous here? The plottet perspective looks good, and the vanishing points in rough perspective all trend toward the right direction (although they could be better, of course). The problem is the linework in the boxes - you still need to ghost the lines, and execute them in 1 smooth stroke. You have shown you CAN do it, so you need to do it.

The rotated boxes exercise is puzzling - the boxes rotate, and are snug, but suddenly you have these corner boxes jumping all over the place, for no reason that I can see. I want you to attempt this again, and get every box roughly where it needs to go - it doesn't have to be perfect.

The organic perspective is really good, the boxes increase in size, and you have many flowing overlaps, it really sells the illusion of motion.
