1. Lines

Superimposed Lines:

• Good job adding a lot of variation to the lines! Although, I noticed that there are lot of lines at different angles. Don't forget that it's better to focus on practicing how to make a straight line in one direction than it is to practice making lines in different directions (you should be rotating the page to draw lines in different directions) so you can master straight lines faster.

• There are signs of wobbling in some of your lines; try to draw a bit faster.

• Fraying is present in both pages, and while fraying at the end point is perfectly normal at the start, fraying at the starting point (as seen in page 1) means that you're not taking the time to place your pen in the right spot before starting to draw.

Ghosted Lines:

• Good variation in line lengths

• Much less wobbling compared to the previous exercise, but in exchange, arcing is a lot more apparent. Remember that there are three different levels for ghosting (level 1: straight lines; level 2: straight lines that pass through the end point but overshoot; level 3: straight lines that end exactly at the end point). There's no need to rush through them so you should just try to focus on straight, confident lines (that don't arc to try to hit the end point).

Ghosted Planes:

• Same problem as before (arcing). You might be focusing too much on trying to hit the end point. It's okay to make mistakes, at first, we're aiming for confident lines rather than precise lines.

• The arcing could also be a result of drawing with your wrist/elbow. Try to make use of your arm's full range of motion even when drawing shorter lines.

2. Ellipses

Table of Ellipses:

• There's some wobbling, but, overall, your ellipses are nice and smooth.

• Great job avoiding overlapping ellipses but some of your ellipses undershoot/overshoot their supposed boundaries. In particular, a lot of your ellipses seem to undershoot their bottom boundary, possibly indicating that you're rushing your ellipses a bit. Try to ghost your ellipses a bit more to get more confidence in hitting the boundaries.

Ellipses in Planes:

• Same issues as above.

• I think you did a good job trying to hit the boundaries but some of your ellipses aren't true ellipses (they should have two equal halves when divided at the minor axis). Focus on creating an ellipse that touches any point on each plane edge (you can rotate your page to do this easier) instead of trying to hit midpoints you drew during the ghosted planes exercise

Funnels:

• There's still some wobbling present in the ellipses, but, overall, you still did great making them smooth

• Some overshooting and undershooting like what was mentioned above

• A lot of your ellipses are not aligned with the other ellipses from the same funnel. (See: https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/14/notaligned)

• Try to re-do this exercise and submit it as a reply.

3. Boxes

Plotted Perspective:

• This exercise was completed correctly. Adding weight to the visible edges would make the boxes a lot more visible, but otherwise, great job.

Rough Perspective:

• Mostly following the horizontal/vertical rule for your lines.

• Your lines have a lot more wobble than before. Try to draw them faster. Refer to the notes for your ghosted lines exercise.

• There's a box in page 2 that doesn't have the corrected lines, but other than that, you're good.

• Try to end your extended lines at the horizon for better clarity

Rotated Boxes:

• The boxes are a bit hard to see because the line weight of your internal edges are similar to the external (visible) ones. Use the ghosting method to add additional weight to the lines visible to the viewer

• Try to place your box corners closer to each other https://d15v304a6xpq4b.cloudfront.net/lesson_images/9a16c189.jpg

• The box placements are also a bit off because the quadrants aren't symmetrical. Don't forget that you can use your previously drawn boxes/quadrants as reference when drawing the next one.

• Apart from the issues mentioned, you did a great job conveying an overall 3D shape.

Organic Perspective:

• Excellent work. I like how you added so much variety to your path directions. You did well conveying the depth present in each frame.

• Your lines still have the issues mentioned above, but they're a lot cleaner than they were in your rough perspective exercise.
