Lesson 1: Lines, Ellipses and Boxes

Thanks for reviewing !
Hello there congrats on finishing lesson one
Lines
Superimposed lines look confident.
Ghosted lines also look nice and confident.
The lines of the ghosted planes also look confident and straight.
Keep on ghosting and confidently drawing the lines as you are.
Ellipses
Ellipses are drawn confidently but they should be drawn through a minimum and recommended twice and a maximum thrice.

this applies to ellipses in all three ellipses exercises here.
In the table of ellipses, there are some gaps between ellipses in some places. Ellipses should touch, they should be touching and not overlapping. They should also touch the table walls/bounds.
Good work on the funnels exercise.
For drawing ellipses, ghost the ellipse where you want to place it until confident with the motion and then swiftly draw the ellipse with the confidence and commitment you are using now. I mention this for the sake of repetition, your exercises show you know it but just to drill it in
Boxes
Plotted perspective looks good, use a ruler for the cross hatching in this exercise. Consider adding lineweight where boxes overlap.
Rough perspective looks good, keep in mind that the vertical lines of the boxes are perpendicular to the horizon and the horizontal lines are parallel to the horizon. This should help you plot your lines. Now the lines that you project to the horizon must be projected not to the vanishing point.

Rather project the depth lines until they touch the horizon

For rotated boxes revisit the lesson when doing exercises to see how you approach drawing the boxes. In your boxs, I see some places you did not use lines you had already drawn as reference for the ones you had alreadt drawn. Try and keep gaps consistent too. Overall its good and tigh knit.
Organic perspective looks okay, the last page looks good the others where not as dynamic. Consider adding lineweight where boxes overlap. You can move on to the 250 box challenge, remember to use these lesson one exercises as warmups

Good luck :)
Next Steps:
250 box challenge
Thank you so much ! I will work on what you pointed !
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).
