Hello and congrats on completing lesson one. My name is Rob and I'm a teaching assistant for Drawabox who will be handling your lesson one critique. Starting with your superimposed lines these are off to a fine start. You are keeping a clearly defined starting point with all of your wavering at the opposite end. Your ghosted lines and planes turned out well. You are using the ghosting method to good effect to get confident linework with a pretty decent deal of accuracy that will get better and better with practice.

Your tables of ellipses are coming along pretty good. You are doing a good job drawing through your ellipses and focusing on consistent smooth ellipse shapes. This is carried over nicely into your ellipses in planes. It's great that you aren't overly concerned with accuracy and are instead focused on getting smooth ellipse shapes for the most part. Although accuracy is our end goal it can't really be forced and tends to come with mileage and consistent practice more than anything else. That said I'm seeing a little wobble in some of your ellipse shapes in these exercises. This is likely happening because you are slowing down your stroke for accuracy. Remember to only really worry about accuracy while you are planning your mark. Once you've ghosted your ellipses it's time to just commit to making your ellipses once you put the pen down on the page. Hesitation leads to wobble. Your ellipses in funnels are looking fine. I'm not seeing any real issues here other than the occasional line wobble. Your ellipses are off to a good start but there's still room for improvement when it comes to consistency of shape and smoothness so keep practicing them during your warmups.

The plotted perspective looks great, nothing to mention here. Your rough perspective exercises turned out pretty good. It's great that you are keeping up with the confident linework on these. I am noticing that you are redrawing lines on occasion and this is a habit you should try and get out of. Try and stick with the initial line you put down even if it's a bit off. Adding more lines just makes things messier and harder to read. You are also doing a good job extending the lines back on your boxes to check your work. As you can see some of your perspective estimations were quite off but that will become more intuitive with practice. One thing that can help you a bit when doing a one point perspective exercise like this is to realize that all of your horizontal lines should be parallel to the horizon line and all of your verticals should be perpendicular(straight up and down in this case) to the horizon line. This will help you avoid some of the slanting lines you have in your constructions.

Your rotated box exercise turned out decently but the main issue here is that you drew this way too small. For drawings with complex spatial thinking it's highly recommended you draw them big overall as it really helps with thinking through the spatial problems. You did a good job drawing through your boxes and keeping your gaps narrow and consistent. I can see that you were a bit perplexed by the corners but please don't just leave something blank if you don't understand it as you will be assigned revisions in the future for doing so. A big part of learning how to draw is getting used to working outside of your comfort zone so at least attempt to put something down even if you don't fully understand it. Also the corners are a lot harder to think through because you drew this so small. This is a great exercise to come back to after a few lessons to see how much your spatial thinking ability has improved. Your organic perspective exercises are looking pretty good. You are getting a mix of confident linework here along with some wobble creeping back into some of your lines. https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/9/wobbling This is probably happening because you are more concerned with accuracy now that you are constructing boxes and you are slowing down your stroke to compensate. That hesitation because of your concern for accuracy while making your mark is what is reintroducing the wobble into your lines. Try and rely a bit more on the muscle memory you build up while ghosting your mark and almost make your mark without thinking. This will be less accurate at first but will give you consistently smooth and confident linework which is our first priority. Accuracy will come with mileage and can't really be forced. You are also still redrawing lines fairly often which is a habit you need to get out of. Try and get more used to just putting down a single confident line and sticking with it. Your box constructions are decent for the most part but there are some wonky ones here and there so the 250 box challenge will be a great next step for you to develop a better sense for how box lines converge to vps and to keep working on confident linework.

Overall this was a solid submission that showed a good deal of growth. Your line confidence took a bit of a dip with the final exercise so remember to fully commit to your marks and don't slow down your stroke for the sake of accuracy. It's okay if your line slightly misses the mark and a confident line is more important than a wobby accurate one. Otherwise, I think you are understanding most of the concepts these lessons are trying to convey quite well. I'm going to mark this as complete and good luck with the 250 box challenge. Keep up the good work!
