Hello! I'm Joxmarf and I will be reviewing your Lesson 1 :)
Superimposed Lines
I notice that many of your lines have fraying. Drawabox encourages to think of every mark we put on the page. That begins with thinking where to place the pen. Also, some of your lines wobble. Remember to, when you start executing the stroke, focus only on the end point and draw confidently enough not to allow your brain to steer the stroke.
Ghosted Lines
Once again, your marks wobble. Remember not to focus on accuracy, but on the confidence of your marks. Time and practice will make your lines more accurate. Also, once again, some of your lines arc. Some of your marks wobble. Remember not to focus on accuracy, but on the confidence of your marks. Time and practice will make your lines more accurate, but remember that in this course you should prioritise accuracy. Also, remember to consider from which pivot you are drawing from. We should be drawing from the shoulder.
Ghosted Planes
Many of your lines wobble. Remember to ghost and draw from your shoulder.
Table of Ellipses
I see you are drawing through your ellipses two full times, which is great. However, many of them are not evenly shaped. There could be many reasons for this. Remember to ghost mindfully and thoroughly before making the mark with confidence. Overall, these are well done.
Ellipses in Planes
Your ellipses are drawn with confidence and most of them are touching all the 4 edges of the plane. It seems that you are drawing through your ellipse more than two full times. Try to stick to only 2-3 times.
Funnels
It is quite difficult, but I would like to note that some of your ellipses are not aligned to the central minor axis line. Also, some ellipses are not touching each other. It seems that you are drawing through your ellipses more than two full times. Try to stick only to 2-3 times. Also, wobbling is still present.
Plotted Perspective
Well done.
Rough Perspective
Remember to always keep ghosting in mind. Good job, you are working with one vanishing point, as the exercise states.
Rotated boxes
Well done.
Organic Perspective
Well done.
Overall, the common issue in all of the exercises is the wobbling. I recommend to reread the section in Lesson 1 in which Uncomfortable explains the ghosting method.

Congrats! Include these on your warmups and move onto the Box Challenge.
Hi Joxmarf.
Thank you for the review. I will keep that in mind and review the ghosting method.
I did feel like my lines are too shakey from the combination of what you have said. I feel like I have gotten better however I will continue to pay attention to how I move my arm and focusing on the end point.
I've used a ton of different drawing and painting software over the course of my career, so I can say with confidence that what CSP offers is impressive.
The software is designed around drawing and painting, and it really shows. The brush engine is extremely dynamic, capturing a wide variety of stroke types and effects, making it easy to emulate traditional media if that's what you're after, while still being able to create very polished digital-style graphics.
It also provides a variety of features to make your life easier on a wide variety of projects - from speech bubble and framing tools for comics, to perspective and ellipse guides, to bringing in 3D assets to streamline the production process, to multi-page files, and more. At every turn, it puts the control in your hands, so you can focus on what it is you want to create.
