Hi there!
Good work on Lesson 1.
Lines:
-
Your superimposed lines look good for the most part, but do be careful to align your pen to the starting point of the line so that there's minimal fraying.
-
Ghosted Lines look fine, but some of them are a bit wobbly, so be careful to draw smoothly and confidently when you ghost your lines.
-
Ghosted Planes look good! Less wobbling here. A couple of your planes are missing the bisecting lines, so remember to draw those.
Ellipses:
-
Table of Ellipses: Make sure that your ellipses are drawn tightly, ie, they should be packed together in the space, so that the edges of the ellipses touch. Good job touching the top and bottom boundaries. Do be careful though, your ellipses are coming out wobbly. Prioritize smoothness over accuracy - make sure you draw confidently/smoothly, and don't draw too slow. It can also help to ghost more before you draw the ellipse.
-
Same thing with the Ellipses in planes, you do a good job hitting the boundaries, but there's some wobbling.
-
Good job aligning your ellipses to the minor axis in the funnels exercise. Watch out for wobbly ellipses.
Boxes:
-
Plotted Perspective is good, no issues there.
-
Good job with your rough perspective! Most of your lines are parallel/perpendicular to the horizon line when they need to be.
-
Your rotated boxes look great! Very nice job with this one.
-
Organic Perspective is good as well, some of the perspective is a tiny bit off, but that's something that we work on in the 250 box challenge.
Overall, good work! I think you're ready for the 250 box challenge, but I want you to focus on ellipses when you do you warm-ups, and make sure that your ellipses aren't wobbly. It can also be helpful to practice more ghosted lines as well (again, make sure they stay smooth).
Have fun with your boxes! :)
Next Steps:
250 box challenge!
Focus on Ellipses for warm-ups.

Thank you very much for your feedback. I will try to practice on ellipses during my warm up.

No problem! Good luck!

I agree with the reply Flippydiffy gave. I think you are ready for the 250 box challenge as well. Please make sure you revisit the rotated boxes exercise, as you missed a few boxes. Your attempt at the rotated boxes was really good besides that.

Cottonwood Arts Sketchbooks
These are my favourite sketchbooks, hands down. Move aside Moleskine, you overpriced gimmick. These sketchbooks are made by entertainment industry professionals down in Los Angeles, with concept artists in mind. They have a wide variety of sketchbooks, such as toned sketchbooks that let you work both towards light and towards dark values, as well as books where every second sheet is a semitransparent vellum.
