Hey

Well done - youre first lesson complete - give yourself a pat on the back. Overall your work is good but I would add just a few points which may help

Superimposed lines - try to focus on starting at the same point, drawing from your shoulder should improve the fraying at the end.

Ghosting Lines - take your time!

Ghosted planes - again you may find slowing things down a little helps with accuracy

Tables of ellipses - I can see your strokes are becoming bolder, more confident as this exercise goes on. Well done.

Funnells - watch for gaps between the ellipses and keeping them at right angles to the axis line.

Plotted Perspective - looks good. Try treating every line on the page with equal importance even the crosshatching.

I see every reason for you to continue to the 250 box challenge but think you would really benefit in doing your "workouts"

before every session and SLOW DOWN!

Thanks a lot for the critique bro!

I will try to be more patience and slow it down, (???) and I hope I will soon post the 250 boxes challenge. Let´s - a - go !

Good luck with it! Just a tip that I use with my lines - once youve ghosted between the points and your ready to draw your line, focus your eye on the end point ....

Hope it helps

Okay I will try!

Another thing, I tried slowing down and it is helping me a bit in the 250 boxes. It´s not perfect, but better nonetheless.

Ellipse Master Template

Ellipse Master Template

This recommendation is really just for those of you who've reached lesson 6 and onwards.

I haven't found the actual brand you buy to matter much, so you may want to shop around. This one is a "master" template, which will give you a broad range of ellipse degrees and sizes (this one ranges between 0.25 inches and 1.5 inches), and is a good place to start. You may end up finding that this range limits the kinds of ellipses you draw, forcing you to work within those bounds, but it may still be worth it as full sets of ellipse guides can run you quite a bit more, simply due to the sizes and degrees that need to be covered.

No matter which brand of ellipse guide you decide to pick up, make sure they have little markings for the minor axes.
