Hello Pphoeniz, I'll be critiquing your lesson 1 exercise!
Lines
-
Your superimposed lines show an understanding of the lesson material with no fraying on both ends. However, while many of your lines show confidence, I noticed that your longer superimposed lines tend to wobble. You should always prioritise confident lines over accurate lines as you'll get better at them with more practice! https://d15v304a6xpq4b.cloudfront.net/lesson_images/5bcda336.jpg
-
Your ghosted lines and ghosted planes are excellent! You clearly took the time to plot out your lines and ghost them with confidence!
Ellispses
-
The ellispses in your ellispse table are clearly drawn with confidence and drawn through at least twice. Your ellispses also adhere to staying within their bounds with very few of them overlapping. The same applies to your ellispses in your ghosted planes, your ellispses adhere to making contact with each side of the plane as much as possible.
-
Your funnels are looking pretty good as well. Your minor axis clearly cuts your ellispses into two equal halves and all your ellispses stay within their bounds as much as possible without being spread far apart.
Boxes
-
On your plotted perspective exercise, you did pretty well! Only nitpick I have is that a couple of your boxes have your back edge not parallel to the other three edges, this is no cause to worry as you'll have plenty of time to practice this via warm-ups and the 250 box challenge!
-
In your rough perspective exercise many of your lines, while confident should always be parallel/perpendicular to the horizon line. Many of your plotted lines from the back of your boxes suffer from this!
-
In your rotated boxes exercise, the corners of your boxes are kept as close as possible! I will say that you should look out for the issue of your boxes not converging toward a vanishing point, while your boxes do converge, you should try to make it more apparent as from a distance, they appear not to! https://d15v304a6xpq4b.cloudfront.net/lesson_images/d73eea49.jpg
-
Looking at your organic boxes exercise, you got the gist of the lesson material! Only thing I can say that your boxes in each of your rows appear same-y. However, this isn't a concern as you'll have plenty of time to experiment with dramatic and shallow forshortening of boxes during the 250 box challenge!
Overall, your lesson 1 exercise shows a clear understanding of the lesson material given and through pratice your understanding will only improve from there, great work!
Next Steps:
Move onto the 250 box challenge

Hello Mayjur, thank you for your feedback on my homework. I really appreciate the time and effort you put into providing such detailed comments. I found your comments to be very helpful.

Solid submission and solid review but I want to add that your rotated boxes are missing the corner boxes. You should complete the exercise before moving on. Don't worry about ruining the paper, the point of the exercise is to learn not to look pretty.
Next Steps:
Complete the rotated box exercises by adding the missing 4 corner boxes

Thank you for your comment. I have added the 4 corner boxes. Here's the link to my rotated boxes exercise:

Good job. Very good looking exercise.
Next Steps:
Move to 250 boxes

A lot of my students use these. The last time I used them was when I was in high school, and at the time I felt that they dried out pretty quickly, though I may have simply been mishandling them. As with all pens, make sure you're capping them when they're not in use, and try not to apply too much pressure. You really only need to be touching the page, not mashing your pen into it.
On the flipside, they tend to be on the cheaper side of things, so if you're just getting started (beginners tend to have poor pressure control), you're probably going to destroy a few pens - going cheaper in that case is not a bad idea.
In terms of line weight, the sizes are pretty weird. 08 corresponds to 0.5mm, which is what I recommend for the drawabox lessons, whereas 05 corresponds to 0.45mm, which is pretty close and can also be used.
Remember that when you agree with something another user has written, you are putting your own reputation behind it.
Consider the following:
- If it's homework feedback, does it address each section of the lesson/challenge, or only briefly touch upon one or two exercises?
- Does it provide clearly defined next steps for the student to follow?
- Have you read through it thoroughly, or are you simply agreeing so the student earns a superficial badge?
- Replies you agree with will be visible in your sketchbook
Agreeing blindly just to be nice is a good way to get your permissions associated with this function revoked, so make sure that you genuinely feel that the response is beneficial to the student.
