In superimposed lines you did not use a ruler. Many lines have fraying on both ends. Lines are generally smooth and confident.

In ghosted lines are many not connected lines. That's why I can't see what points you wanted to connect.

Ghosted planes are mostly good.

The table of ellipses are mostly good.

In the ellipses in planes ellispes don't always touch all four edges and somer are deformed.

In funnels ellipses are not alway aligned.

The plotted perspective looks good. You have drawn only one panel. But three are expected on one page.

In rough perspective exercise each page should have three panels. Extend your correction lines till the horizon, and stop there – don’t extend them till they intersect, or continue them beyond the horizon. Why are there several disconnected points?

Rotated boxes are good. But boxes could be bigger.

In organic perspective I don't understand the second panel. Lines are not alway parallel. On the second side, all boxes have almost the same size. The far boxes should be more smaller.

Next Steps:

1 page superimposed lines

1 page ghosted lines

1 page rough perspective

1 page organic perspective

Hi, I did the exercises again. Here is the link https://imgur.com/a/hgHm8Kf

Your lines are arching. You should draw with shoulder.

Do lesson 1 exercises as 10 - 15 minutes warm ups.

Next Steps:

250 boxes challenge

Hi there, Well done finishing Lesson 1.

Starting with the superimposed lines, I think you've done well with wobbliness, but I also think that a good number of lines have fraying on both ends like what was mentioned here:

https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/9/fraying

I think you noticed that later so Ill only recommend being aware of it during the warmups.

The Ghosted lines, planes, Table of ellipses and ellipses in planes excercises are all Good.

My personal note about the Funnels excercise will be that practicing with different lenghts of circles inside funnels would be more useful, Especially for future excercises, So my advice would be to try that when trying funnels in the Future warmups.

The plotted prespective and the rough prespective have one problem... there should be three pannels in every page like in here:

https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/16/example

Aside from that, you followed the instructions well, thats why I suggest just another page of rough prespective, I dont love this excercise too but it will come in handy in the future.

The rotated boxes excercise is Good,for the future I suggest leaving a bit more space between the one box and the other, but the excercise is correct well done.

In the organic prespective excercise, I noticed that some boxes didnt adhere to the 90 degrees rule mentioned here:

https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/18/step2

Also, I think that starting from a smaller boxes and making it grow presents more 3D space challenge which aligns more with the purpose of the excercise, In the second page most of the boxes kept the same size and changing shapes which is not recommended in this excercise while the first page was good.

Your good Excercises were pretty good and your progress with ghosting looks promising, once you finish those two page you are ready to go.

Good luck !

Next Steps:

1 page Rough prespective excercise

1 page Organic prespective excercise

When it comes to technical drawing, there's no one better than Scott Robertson. I regularly use this book as a reference when eyeballing my perspective just won't cut it anymore. Need to figure out exactly how to rotate an object in 3D space? How to project a shape in perspective? Look no further.
