Hey there thomas, good job finishing lesson 1. I'll be your TA today so let's get right to it.

Starting off with super imposed lines, you are doing a very good job maintaining confidence and drawing the lines with your shoulder. Things are smooth and relatively tightly grouped. Your ghosted lines are likewise pretty confident but there are some moments near the end points where you get some hiccups froms trying to stop on a dime. Instead of stopping I think it's easier to lift the pen so you don't have to fight the momentum of your arm. Give it a try and see what you think.

Your ellipses are looking to be on the right track. You are drawing through them correctly and maintaining pretty good flow and smoothness resulting in no flat regions or sharp corners of your ellipses. Your ellipses in tables are nicely packed so there's no room for ambiguity and in all but a few sections you do a nice job keeping everything consistent in terms of size and orientation. Your ellipses in planes are hitting all the sides of the planes to keep it packed snug within the bounds, but there are some times that you are sacrificing flow or roundness to make sure you're making contact. It's a balancing act to try and manage all of these conditions but you have a good start. Your funnels have a lot of the same issue of sacrificing ellipse shape for placement. You do a good job keeping your minor axes correctly aligned but at the expense of having some flat regions on your ellipses. Just something to watch out for though.

You are doing a nice job on your rough perspective. You're keeping your vertical lines straight up and down and horizontal lines parallel to the horizon resulting in correctly oriented boxes for 1 point perspective. Your onverging lines are on track and you correctly applied your check lines. There are some times where you are redrawing lines which you should not be doing. We use ink for a variety of reasons, one of which is to force us to plan our lives through thought and then ghosting and then to live with the results. Additionally redrawing lines adds visual clutter and draws attention to things you are trying to fix so it's better not to get into that habit.

Good job pushing through to completion on your rotated boxes. The goal for students here is to just complete the exercise so they can see new types of spatial puzzles and ways to go about solving them so mission accomplished. In terms of the mechanics of the exercise there are some things to point out, but be sure to know that doesn't take away from your efforts.

• Rotation - you are not rotating your boxes but rather skewing them over. To ensure you are understanding how rotation is driven by the vanishing points moving, watch this gif again.

• Packing - the gaps between your boxes are too wide to properly leverage adjacent lines as perspective guides so that is something to watch out for.

Additionally there are some more line quality issues about redrawing lines like I previously explained so I won't go into that again. Just make sure you're ghosting every line.

Overall though you have a nice first try here and most of your lines are sharp an neat.

Finally let's look at your organic perspective. You're starting to show a good understanding of 3d space here. Your perspective is developing and you're being mindful of lines converging to a vanishing point and you're keeping all your foreshortening at an appropriate rate. You have a lot of good scaling going on to make your boxes appear to recede into the background and what would help more with portraying 3d space on your paper would be to overlap your forms more. This causes the brain to interpret the forms as all occupying the same space which pushes that illusion of three dimensionality. One last reminder to not redraw your lines; you get especially scratchy near the end. You also did not follow the example on your second page by only drawing two comps instead of three and not framing them out. Couple that with the sharp decrease in line quality indicates you were rushing to finish. Drawing is a mental game of patience just as much as it is a physical activity so you must build discipline to avoid things like this which cause silly mistakes.

Because of this before I mark your lesson as complete I want one more page of organic perspective following the example. Make sure to take your time throughout the entire thing and when you finish post it here.
