Hello and congrats on completing lesson one. I'll be looking over your submission today. Starting with your superimposed lines these are looking fine. You are keeping a clearly defined starting point and your tapering is happening at the opposite end. Your ghosted lines and planes are coming along nicely as well. You are doing a good job with the ghosting method and are getting lines that are smooth and confident. Your accuracy isn't quite there yet but that will grow with practice.

The tables of ellipses exercise came out pretty well. You did a good job drawing through all of your ellipses although I do have a bit of advice in this regard. You are probably drawing through too many times on some of these and it's making them look a bit sloppy. Try and limit your drawing through to 2 - 3 times max. It's good that you are very focused on getting a smooth ellipse shape over accuracy. I think you are starting to shoot for accuracy a bit more in your ellipses and planes and it's hurting your shape integrity a bit. For right now just focus on nailing a confident smooth ellipse shape as consistently as possible and then you can start working on accuracy a bit more. https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/12/deformed I noticed a few spots on your ellipses in funnels where you didn't draw through an ellipse because you probably felt like you nailed it the first time through. Although that is the ultimate goal of what we are trying to do here for all of the exercises and lessons you do for Drawabox you need to draw through every single ellipse you draw without exception. I am also noticing that some of your ellipses are tilting off the minor axis in your funnels exercise https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/13/notaligned Your ellipses are off to a good start but there is plenty of room for improvement so keep practicing them during your warmups.

Plotted perspective looks good nothing to mention here. So I'm going to bring this up here because your line quality and markmaking really takes a nosedive for the rest of the exercises you did. This is happening for a few reasons that I'll get into. This is a common problem a lot of students run into once they start doing exercises that require spatial thinking. This tends to cause them to either skip steps in the drawing process like not using the ghosting method or they revert to drawing from their wrist. Also in your case it's coming from the fact that you are redrawing lots of lines and attempting to add line weight probably on top of those other things I mentioned. As you can see your line quality is very chicken scratchy for the rest of these exercises and that is something we need to try and fix. So I'm just gonna give you a reminder here that you ALWAYS want to ghost your lines multiple times and then draw from the shoulder with confidence. Even on shorter lines like the ones you are doing in these exercises. Also for now I think the best solution would be to stop trying to add line weight to these exercises. Draw your lines one time with confidence using the ghosting method and then let them be. Don't try and redraw lines or add line weight. If you want to practice line weight for now do it with the superimposed lines exercise during your warmups. You want to be able to do these exercises with smooth confident lines first and then you can worry about adding line weight later once you can do them correctly in the first place. So moving on to your rough perspective boxes these turned out pretty well outside of the line quality. You did a great job extending your lines back on your boxes to check your work. As you can see some of your perspective estimations were off but that will get better with practice.

Your rotated box exercise is a bit of a mixed bag. You did well drawing through some of the boxes but you kind of gave up in places and ended up redrawing quite a few lines. Don't fret this is a tough exercise beyond the skill level of most students who attempt it. You also did a good job keeping your gaps narrow and consistent and this really helped with thinking through some of the rotations you had to do. Now your rotations weren't perfect and in some cases you really didn't rotate the boxes at all which is another common problem. https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/16/notrotating This is a good exercise to come back to after you do the 250 box challenge to see how much better your spatial thinking has gotten. Finally your organic box exercise turned out okay. Your box convergences could definitely use some work and you will get a lot of practice with that during the 250 box challenge. Another thing I want to touch on here is your hatching. This looks very rushed and sloppy and if you are going to add hatching to your box planes you want to treat it the same as every other line you draw for these lessons. Ghost them first and then draw from the shoulder with confidence.

This was a decent submission over all. You had a serious drop in line quality with the last few exercises but I think your ellipses turned out quite well and your spatial thinking is showing signs of improvement. That said I want you to do one more page of rough perspective boxes to try and work through this line quality problem when you are faced with a spatial thinking exercise. Get that submitted and I'll look it over and we can go from there.
