Hey there, I'll be your TA today so let's get started!

Your superimposed lines are off to a good start; you are drawing confidently from the shoulder. While there is some fraying, as you continue to practice your mark making your ability to superimpose more cleanly will improve. Your ghosted lines are doing fine, but you left a lot of blank room on the page you could have done more with to continue your practice.

Moving on to your ellipses, you are definitely drawing more of these for a good amount of mileage! You are putting down confident marks and drawing through them appropriately, but some have a few too many revolutions. Remember to keep it 2-3 draw throughs max. With your ellipses in planes you need to work on trying to get contact with the plane edges so the ellipse is properly anchored in the space. With your tables exercise you did well keeping your ellipses consistent within each section, but there are some areas where you are not keeping things tight and connected and therefore leaving room for ambiguity, as explained here. Finally, your ellipses in funnels are a bit wild in terms of controlling your drawing through, but you did properly align your minor axes to the funnels axes.

Your rough perspective is looking good. You did a good job keeping your horizontal lines parallel to the horizon and your verticals perpendicular resulting in properly oriented boxes. Your converging lines are off to a good start and as you continue to practice ghosting towards a distant point your accuracy will improve. There are a few instances where you redraw lines and I want to discourage that. We use ink for many reasons and one of them is to get us in the proper mindset of preparing and practicing each line and then living with the results.

Now let's move on to your rotated boxes. The only goal here is for students to attempt this to the best of their abilities and push through to completion, which you did. So congratulations on pushing through this difficult exercise and seeing it to the end. That being said, there are certain key concepts I like to go over to make sure the principles are understood.

Adjacency - Your adjacent lines are pretty far apart so you can't properly utilize them as perspective guides. This is a really useful technique so make sure you're understanding it and can properly leverage it.

Rotation - Your boxes are not rotating, but rather skewing and shifting over, so give this gif some more attention and try to internalize how the rotation is driven by the vanishing points moving along the horizon.

Scale - You have some more room on the page you could have utilized. A good rule of thumb is to draw as large as you can so that your brain has the most room to work through these spatial problems. It sounds kind of odd, but it really does work.

Finally, let's take a look at your organic perspective. You have some really lovely compositions here full of energy and lots of boxes. I will remind you of what I said earlier about redrawing lines so make sure you are preparing and ghosting each line and only making your mark when you're confident. You do a nice job of exploring depth by scaling your boxes down to make them appear to recede into the background. You also are starting to play with overlapping your forms which can cause the brain to perceive them as all occupying a single space. These two principles are key to selling the illusion of three dimensions on a flat sheet of paper. your perspective is still young and developing; most of your parallel lines don't converge to any vanishing point but remain perfectly parallel, but that is okay your perspective sense will improve with the box challenge.

You're off to a good start and I will be marking your lesson one as complete. Keep practicing your line confidence exercises as well as ellipse control exercises in your warm-ups before each drawing session. Keep up the good work and we will see you next time.
