Hello NEONDEVILUKE!

Good job on completing lesson 1!

let’s see how did you do!

  1. Your super imposed exercise looks good. Lines are smooth, confident ,fray only on one side and you did 2 pages of different lengths you did as you were asked to do. Good job!

  2. Your ghosted lines are also impressive : lines are smooth ,confident ,they don’t arc much and almost hitting both points ( you did miss some but it’s okay because accuracy comes with practice).

Great!

  1. In ghosted planes exercises you keep the good work with your lines, no remarks. Good job!

  2. Your Ellipses exercise also shows effort: ellipses are smooth, planned, accurate, and you draw through them several times. Everything's in place.

  3. Your Ellipses in planes exercises also turned out nice, although some ellipses do seem to be deformed.I think you tried to make your ellipses touch all four sides so they didn’t retain a smooth elliptical shape. Your first priority is a smooth elliptical shape and then accuracy.

For them to touch all sides you can just change the orientation of your ellipse.

  1. In Funnels again some of your ellipses seem to be deformed and most of them don’t align to minor axis(only a few do)..

( I recommend you revisit this exercise during warmups)

  1. In your plotted perspective exercise all the lines are drawn correctly. Good job!

  2. Your rough perspective exercise looks nice: line work is perfect

But in your first page you didn’t extend your lines up to horizon line so I can’t tell whether you improved on the second page or not??

  1. Rotated boxes exercise also looks good : gaps are narrow and consistent and the lines are smooth/ confident but the boxes are just slightly rotated ,it would’ve been better if the rotation was a bit more drastic but still good job!

  2. Organic perspective exercise looks nice you and did better job with drawing boxes on second page compared to your first. Nice!!

Overall I think you did great job!

!!!!!You need more practise with your ellipses so keep practicing them during your warmups during the 250 boxes!

You can reply here if you have any questions or thoughts.

Keep up the good work and good luck!

Next Steps:

I’m marking this lesson as complete so feel free to proceed to 250 box challenge also don’t forget to do lesson 1 exercises as warmups during the 250 box challenge !!

Thank you for the response. I struggled a lot while drawing the ellipses. I only thought about touching the sides rather than drawing them smoothly. I'll make sure to revisit them during the warmups for 250 boxes.

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.
