Hello there,

welcome to draw a box.

Congratulations on your graduation !! its okay whenever you do your lessons as long as you arent grinding on exercises . Also, really follow the 50% rule, its beneficial .

I'll be looking over your lesson 1, lets see what we have got here,

Lines: No complains, they are neat, drawn confidently and bold. You have propely followed the instructions. You did very great with curved superimposed lines that just shows that they were ghosted very well . You were patient and efficient with it. Very Great with the lines keep this up i.e. drawing from shoulder, ghosting and building confidence in yourself and in lines.

Ellipses : Nothing less from ellipses as well. Though, its better to draw through your circles just twice, you've drawn through circles thrice which is also okay. I can feel a little stiffness in lines of some of your ellipses but dont sweat about it, you'll be able to do it smoothly in no time as you keep up the practise in warmup exercises. Here too, you have dilligently followed through the instructions, they are intended to snuggly fit in, you've drawn through ellipses, the ellipses are aligned to major axis in funnel exercise , the minor axis neatly cut ellipses in halves. Though, i'll mention about some of your ellipses overlapping to each other or to borderline in table of ellipse , try minimizing simple errors as those. Great one as well !

Boxes : No comments on plotted perspective, its neat and well construted. very well with rough perspective too. Your lines is as gorgeous as in lines exercise. You've applied what you've learnt. And yeah, you do seem to have a proper gist of perspective, which is cool. You'll be learning about it more in 250 boxes as well. Your boxes are rotating very well in rotated box. You must have forgotten to add line weight and the line shading , since its not that important in this exercise so nevermind. well done with organic perspective as well.

Your rotated box's exercise got me concerned, Yes its very neat and gorgeous but I hope you didnt simply copied drew it from the example work to make it look like that . we are supposed to visualize rotating box in our head and draw them instead of just copying them like exactly from the example work. Being able to create pretty works is great too. But here, one of the purpose of the exercise is also to make students brainstorm about the space and how these boxes are relating to each other. It is supposed to be drawn with lots of educated guessworking and brainstorming like being aware about the convergence, vanishing points , rotations etc. Its just a reminder, and i am not doubting your abilities either just a little concerned about it. let me hear from your parts too.

Overall great job ! Congratulation on completing lesson 1.

Best wishes,

The only confusion I have is funnels part. In the top left corner there is a structure that looks different than what was required and not sure why that is there. Other than that everythign looks solid and concepts were understood.
