Hiya, Tomako, and welcome to drawabox. I’m Benj, and I’ll be taking care of your lesson 1 submission today.

Starting off, your superimposed lines look quite solid – they’re smooth, properly lined up at the start, and of a consistent trajectory. I’d have liked to see a few more (and a few bigger!) arcing lines, but they’re optional, so that’s alright. The ghosted lines/planes are quite solid, also (and skipping ahead to your organic perspective exercise, I’m pleased to see that the overshooting issue has been fixed). If you’re not already (it’s a little hard to tell), be sure to plot start/end points for the non-diagonal center lines of your planes, however – remember that all lines need these.

The table of ellipses exercise looks great; your ellipses are smooth, rounded, and properly drawn through. Do remember that they’re meant to maintain a consistent degree/angle in a frame, however. The ellipses in planes are also fair well done. They’ll occasionally deform to touch all available sides, looing a little of their roundness in the process, but this seems to be the exception, not the rule. Finally, your funnels look great; your ellipses here snug, and properly cut into two equal, symmetrical halves.

The plotted perspective exercise looks clean.

The rough perspective exercise… does not. I’d assume that this is lineweight (and tell you that it’s not needed in this exercise), but seeing how you’ve applied it to only a select few lines, I’ll instead guess that this is automatic reinforcing (correcting an incorrect line), and remind you that that’s not something we encourage. Each line is drawn once, and only once, regardless of how it turns out – remember that.

The rotated boxes exercise looks good, if a little small (drawing big is something we heavily encourage – the space giving your brain an opportunity to think more freely); its boxes are snug, and properly rotating as a result. You do seem to have forgotten about the diagonal ones (at the 4 corners), but, given its size, I doubt you’d have been able to do much with them, anyway.

Save for the aforementioned automatic reinforcing issues, the organic perspective exercise looks great. The increase in size, and consistent, shallow foreshortening of your boxes do a good job of communicating the flow that we’re after, and the boxes themselves look quite solid, too. Of course, as you progress through the box challenge, they’re bound to get even better.
