Welcome to drawabox, and congrats on completing Lesson 1. I’ll be taking a look at it for you.

Starting with your superimposed lines, these are well done. They’re smooth, properly lined up at the start, and of a consistent trajectory. I do suspect you might be drawing your arcing lines a little too fast, so see if you can’t experiment with a few speeds, to see if the one you’re currently at is your ideal one. Your ghosted lines/planes look quite confident, also, but you’ve made your start/end points a little too large. Remember that the idea is for a perfect line to swallow them both.

Onto the ellipse section, the table of ellipses exercise looks good. Your ellipses are smooth, rounded, and properly drawn through, if a little same-y. See if you can’t have some more variety when it comes to their degrees/angles. The ellipses in planes are well done. You’ve correctly prioritized their smoothness and roundness here, too, rather than stressing about how well they fit into their frames, and ending up with deformed ellipses. Finally, the funnels are great. There’s the occasional wobble during those sharp turns, for which I’d recommend trying not to stress too much about it. What’s likely happening there is that, as you’re approaching it, you’re becoming aware of how difficult of a task it will likely be, and switching to a lesser pivot for the added control that it would give you. Rather than do that, simply try to not let it get to you. If it’s indeed difficult, and you mess it up, that’s perfectly fine! Our goal isn’t to be draw perfectly, it’s to draw correctly!

The plotted perspective exercise starts the box section off well. You should’ve used a ruler for the hatching lines here, however. Your rough perspective exercise shows some good improvement throughout the set. By the end, your convergences are on-point, but your linework is still a little stiff. Remind yourself that what you’re doing here is really no different from what you’re doing in the ghosted lines exercise; you’re just drawing lines, one at a time, from point A to point B. They’re adding up to a different big picture here, sure, but that doesn’t mean that they’re drawn any differently, or are anything more than simple, lowly lines. So don’t let the big picture overwhelm you! The rotated boxes exercise looks great! I love how big your boxes are, and I especially love that you’ve seen this through to the end, as you started to lose sight of how the lines should behave. We’re more interested in seeing that, than we are a perfectly done rotated box, if I’m honest! The rest of the boxes are well done, by the way! They’re nice and snug, and rotate comfortably both up front and in the back. On the subject of boxes, the organic perspective exercise is well done. Your boxes here are well constructed, and they flow well as a result of their size, and foreshortening. Nice work, and consider this lesson complete!
