Lesson 1: Lines, Ellipses and Boxes

Thank you for giving critique :D
Hi Holyanne! Congratulations on finishing lesson 1! I'm Gady and i'll be reviewing your work, so let's get to it.
Lines
Superimposed: only thing I'd point out is there some fraying on both ends. Keep in mind you should place your fineliner carefully on only one point and then strike your lines as they come.
Lines in general: really good job. You're already doing pretty confident straight lines.
Ellipses
Funnels: excellent attempt. Ellipses wobble a little bit but not to worry as all the main concepts of this excercises are achieved.
Ghosted ellipses: already getting confidence, even reaching for specific points.
Table of ellipses: good job, wide variety, confident marks, drawn through 2 or 3 times.
Boxes
Organic: good job at variety and overlapping, be aware of scratchy lines. Don't redo lines that come off.
Rotated: good job at keeping your edges close, I think the main distortions came when you couldn't keep your consistence with that. Also, most boxes aren't rotating, check this diagram: https://d15v304a6xpq4b.cloudfront.net/lesson_images/d73eea49.jpg
Perspective: lines look very confident, you did a good job attempting width lines parallel and height lines perpendicular to the horizon. Only thing I'd point out is that you totally overkilled your extending lines to horizon line: go much more slightly in the future, they are totally shadowing your fineliner marks.
Final thoughts
I think you did a very decent job on this lesson. You clearly understood the main goals of the excercises, and you are already grasping confidence when approaching lines, so I'll be marking this lesson as complete.
Next Steps:
Incorporate these excercises to your daily 15 minute warm-ups and move on to 250 Box Challenge. Good luck!
Hello Gady! Thank you for the review and the advice, i'll surely look on for that!
When it comes to technical drawing, there's no one better than Scott Robertson. I regularly use this book as a reference when eyeballing my perspective just won't cut it anymore. Need to figure out exactly how to rotate an object in 3D space? How to project a shape in perspective? Look no further.
