Hi :)

Let's start with lines and ellipses, they're p good, they get a bit wobbly especially ellipses. So don't forget that in these exercises you should be focusing in confidence even if your accuracy gets worse.

Boxes are good too, though you got mistakes on the perspective of the boxes, which is completely normal, and nothing to worry about as you'll practice it on the box challenge.

Congrats finishing first lesson and good luck in 250 box challenge.

Next Steps:

Next Steps:

First of all, congratulations on finishing lesson 1! Your next step is the box challenge.

As I marked this as complete, you are now qualified to critique lesson 1 submissions.

-Doing critiques is a way of learning and solidifying concepts. I can atest to that after having done hundreds of critiques. There are a lot of concepts that I did not understand, and thanks to critiquing I started understanding them. Which made me learn a lot more through the course.

-Another thing is that as the number of current submissions is super high, if you critique some critiques, those would be less critiques I'd have to critique before reaching your next submissions, so you'd get your critiques faster. The new system ordering submissions also makes that the more agrees your critiques have the higher you'll be placed in the queue of critiques, which will improve your chances of getting critiques faster as well.

It's totally optional of course, I won't force anyone to give critiques. But me and the other people who are critiquing would be super grateful if you gave it a shot.

Good luck on the box challenge, and keep up the good work!

NOTE: here's a quick guidehttps://pastebin.com/dYnFt9PQ on critiquing lesson 1 submissions.

There are a few people that feel hesitant to critique because they feel they aren't ready to it so hopefully it'll help you in case you are one of those people.https://pastebin.com/dYnFt9PQ

That was my pleasure, keep up the good work ,)

The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
Faber Castell PITT Artist Pens

Faber Castell PITT Artist Pens

Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.

Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
