Hey there, I'm Meta and I'll be your TA today, so let's get started.

Lines

Starting with your superimposed lines, you're doing a great job lining your pen up with the starting point and executing your lines confidently. This confidence transfers to your ghosted lines and planes, which look great.

Ellipses

This trend of confident linework continues to your tables of ellipses and you've selected a good variety of shapes and sizes of ellipses to practice. They are getting a bit loose in places though, so make sure you're aiming to keep them tucked up tight against one another.

Next your ellipses in planes are looking good, you've made clear attempts to hit the four sides of the plane while remaining confident and not over-focusing on accuracy which will improve with time and practice. Good job.

Your funnels are also looking similarly confident and you've done a pretty good job keeping them aligned to the minor axis, just be aware of that same spacing issue we saw in the tables of ellipses - we're always making marks with a clear intention.

Boxes

A couple of notes on your plotted perspective:

1. You may have noticed some of the back lines of your boxes are not vertical - this can happen when there's slight inaccuracies in the lines used to plot the front of the box not going back to the exact vanishing point drawn. Something to keep in mind, as you will encounter this again.

2. Your hatching is quite haphazard and messy, each line should be carefully planned an executed, including hatching. Less is often more in this instance as well. This applies throughout your box exercises in general, so I won't address it again.

Onto your rough perspective and you've made fairly successful efforts to keep the horizontals parallel and verticals perpendicular to the horizon line. You've correctly applied the line extensions and your perspective lands in a pretty normal margin of error. That said, your line confidence takes a definite dip here compared to the rest of your submission - whilst it is not uncommon for students to feel overwhelmed when taking their lines and turning them into boxes, we do ask that you take the time to plan each one of your lines with as much time and care as you would for a single ghosted line.

I noticed you went back over some of the lines a number of times - this is again something that appears throughout these last few exercises and is to be avoided unless it's done with the clear intention of adding line weight and planned and executed in the same manner as any other line rather than mindlessly reinforcing the line.

You're keeping the gaps between the boxes tight and consistent on your rotated boxes for the most part, which has given you good cues about where to place the next one, though you didn't always seem to use them (notably the top right box). You didn't manage to capture the full range of rotation, tending to follow the vanishing point of the box you previously put down. This exercise is intended only as an introduction to concepts explored further in the course, however we do ask for you to complete the full exercise - you've bailed out before addressing that final layer of boxes.

Finally, you're getting a good amount of variation in the size and rotation of your boxes in the organic perspective exercise, though you could definitely push it further, by playing with the scale between the smallest and largest boxes as well as trying to overlap the ones closest to the viewer. The boxes themselves are diverging significantly, however like the previous exercise, this one is simply an introduction to the concepts you'll explore in depth in the 250 box challenge.

I will be assigning revisions however, as there is a significant drop in the quality of your work between the first two sections and the box section of lesson 1, as though there were some rushing to get the lesson finished or you had come back after a long break. I would recommend you carefully review the materials on each of the exercises I assign as revisions.
