Hey there jamb, good job on finishing lesson 1. I'll be your TA today so let's get started!

Your super imposed lines are definitely looking confident and drawn from the shoulder, but there is a substantial amount of spread in them. Now that you are comfortable using your shoulder start working on finding a pace and rhythm that will tighten up those groupings. Your ghosted lines are looking really good! There are a few times where you have some arcing that comes from more elbow than shoulder action but overall great job.

With your ellipses, there is overall growth in them from the first exercise to the last. You do a good job getting your draw throughs tight and smooth on top of your initial ellipse and everything is one smooth flowing curve with no flat points or angles. With your ellipses in planes there are some points where you miss the mark on your plane edge a bit and could benefit from a bit more ghosting but overall you're getting the gist of the exercise when it comes to securely setting those ellipses inside to keep them from floating around. With your ellipses in tables, there are some successful rows and some not-so-successful ones. For instance, on your second page: column 1, row 4, you are not drawing with a concrete goal so things get ambiguous and your practcie is less effective. Keep things uniform and consistent within each row for more effective practice. Your funnels exercises look really nice. Your minor axes are pretty well aligned to the funnel axes and your ellipses are really clean here. Good job.

Your rough perspective boxes are looking good. Your vertical lines are perpendicular to the horizon and your horizontal ones are parallel resulting in properly oriented one point perspective boxes. Your converging lines are on track properly, and as you practice drawing lines to distant targets more your accuracy will improve. Your lines overall are showing a confident use of the shoulder as well as employment of the ghosting method so good job. Watch out for those longer lines as they sometimes are getting away from you and ending up skewed or wobbly.

Very neat job on your rotated boxes. You kept things clean in the face of complexity and each line looks purposeful and deliberate. With your hatching remember you should only be hatching visible faces - in your extreme corners you are hatching your box planes through other boxes as well as hatching far planes that would not be visible to us at all. In terms of the exercise itself, you could have pushed your adjacent lines a little closer together to better use them as perspective guides. Additionally, your boxes are not rotating so much as being skewed and pushed over so watch this gif now that you have more context and try to internalize how the rotation is driven by the motion of the vanishing points along the horizon. Overall though, the only goal for students here is to complete the exercise to the best of their abilities so they can be introduced to new types of spatial problems and solutions, so mission accomplished!

Finally, let's look at your organic perspective. The first thing I'm seeing here is you sometimes are redrawing lines. Make sure you always are ghosting and planning lines and only executing when ready as a major reason for using ink is to force us to plan lines and then live/work with the results. Your perspective is starting off in the right direction; you are being mindful of parallel lines converging to a shared point. With your compositions you could improve your sense of depth/3d space by having more scale variation to establish a distinct fore, mid, and background. Additionally, by overlapping your forms it causes the brain to interpret these forms as coexisting within a single space which further pushes the illusion of three dimensional space.

So overall you are off to a nice start and I'll be marking your lesson 1 as complete. Keep working on these exercises in your warm ups but you are ready to move on!
