Welcome to drawabox, and congrats on getting past the hurdle that is Lesson 1. Let’s take a look at how you did, shall we?

Starting off, your superimposed lines look good. They’re smooth, properly lined up at the start, and of a consistent trajectory. Your curves are a little small, so you’ve had a little more difficulty engaging your shoulder for them, but that’s alright. Your ghosted lines/planes look equally confident. If I had to offer one piece of advice, it would be to – if you have to pick between the two – overshoot, rather than stop short of a point. In so doing, you’ll be able to tell whether your line is correct more clearly, and it’s easier to reel something back, than push it a little further each time, anyway.

The table of ellipses exercise looks great. I’m pleased to see – from how lightly you’re drawing – that your confidence here is quite effortless; you’ve got your priorities straight, and you’re not stressing about anything else. One tiny thing you may want to stress about, though, is your rotations. Try to hit the minimum of 2 that we recommend, rather than being satisfied with 1 and change. The ellipses in planes look a little better, in this respect, and, as expected, they do a good job of maintaining their prior smoothness/roundness, despite these more complicated frames. Save for the occasional misalignment (for which I’ll recommend more ghosting!), the funnels are well done. Do be mindful, however, that all your ellipses here have a goal. This is to say, make sure that they all have a minor axis to be aligned to, and frames, to guide their size. Sometimes you’ll only have a bit of an axis left, but still commit to the ellipse, but an ellipse aligned to nothing is of no use to us here.

The plotted perspective exercise looks clean.

The rough perspective exercise starts off a little, well, rough, but its convergences are in a good place by the end. The linework, on the other hand, is another story. Your lined are confident enough, don’t get me wrong, but there’s a lot of automatic reinforcing present, here. Recall, from the ghosted lines exercise, that each line is to be drawn once, and only once, regardless of how it turns out. Try to resist the urge to ‘correct’ a line by redrawing it – if for no other reason, than you’ll be doing no such thing.

Save for that issue (and it is very much an issue!), the rotated boxes exercise looks good. It’s big (though it could be a bit bigger!), its boxes are snug, and they do a good job of rotating. This is less the case in the back – you’ve kept them snug there, still, but sometimes at the cost of their rotation – but this is perfectly expected, and something that we’ll look at in more detail in the box challenge, so hold out until then.

The organic perspective exercise looks good – you’ve got some really interesting compositions here. On top of that, your boxes are well constructed, and they flow well, as per their size, and foreshortening.
