Lesson 1: Lines, Ellipses and Boxes

This was actually really difficult, especially the boxes in perspective. I think maybe 1 out of 10 actually looks 3d. Thanks for taking the time to look at my work!
Hello Jackson and welcome to drawabox. Congratulations on finishing lesson 1.
Lines - For your superimposed lines there is some wavering as you're trying to get back on to the planned trajectory. Remember, confidence > accuracy. There is a bit of fraying on the side that you are starting as well. Just be sure to start at the same point everytime you make a new line. Ghosted lines look good for the most part. There are some where you undershoot/overshoot or miss the second point but as long as you keep practicing you will get better. Your ghosted planes look good, you did forget to draw the last few lines on a couple of them though.
Ellipses - For your ellipses, you need to draw through them 2-3 times. I see that you didn't do this for one page of ghosted planes as well as table of ellipses. For your funnels, remember to try and have the ellipses touch the sides of the funnels.
Boxes - For plotted perspective (or in 1 and 2 point perspective in general) be sure to keep your vertical lines perpendicular to the horizon line. Rough perspective probably the hardest one for boxes. However, you managed to do quite well, just be sure to employ the ghosting method for EVERY line drawn. In rotated boxes, you should add hatching to the visible faces of each box. You also forgot to add the boxes in each corner. I know these are hard to draw but I encourage you to do so. Organic perspective looks pretty good. It has gradual convergence which and you seem to have a solid understanding of drawing boxes in space.
I hate to give revisions but you really will benefit from them.
Next Steps:
One page of table of ellipses (Draw through your ellipses 2-3 times) and the rotated boxes page with the finished corners (Use the same page just add the boxes in the corners)
Hi Melos! Thanks for taking the time to give feedback.
I've done a new page of ellipses, and i've added the boxes at the corners of the rotated boxes exercise, though I almost couldn't find where to put them. Hope you're having a good weekend.
awesome! you're set to move forward
Next Steps:
250 box challenge
Thanks Melos!
These are my favourite sketchbooks, hands down. Move aside Moleskine, you overpriced gimmick. These sketchbooks are made by entertainment industry professionals down in Los Angeles, with concept artists in mind. They have a wide variety of sketchbooks, such as toned sketchbooks that let you work both towards light and towards dark values, as well as books where every second sheet is a semitransparent vellum.
