Hello Itsjustg. I'm Starr and I'm here to give you some feedback.

I'll start by evaluating your work by lines, ellipses, and boxes, and then give you some tips for improvement.

Lines

• Superimposed Lines: You have little to no fraying at the beginning of each line, which shows you thought about and prepared the placement of your stroke, good work! However, your lines are very wobbly, showing you did not draw quickly or with confidence.

• Ghosted Lines/ Planes: Your lines are also pretty wobbly in these exercises, but I do notice some smoother lines in your planes exercises. Also, I feel some of your target points are a bit large, especially on your planes. Try to keep your points as small and simple dots so that you have a more precise target to aim for.

Ellipses

Similar to your lines, you ellipses are also quite wobbly. Though, your ellipses do improve slightly in shape and line confidence. You did well at drawing through your ellipses the recommended 2-3 times. I notice, in your Ellipses in Planes especially, your ellipses are warped to fit within the planes.

Boxes

• Plotted Perspective: Your work is good overall. However, your hatching could be cleaner. Hatching should be made of continuous, smooth lines that go across the entire plane of the box.

• Rough Perspective: You did well at keeping your boxes to one-point perspective. Your lines are still a bit wobbly and it seems you have tried to redo some of your lines. Do not try to correct any mistakes you make. Accept your mistakes and move on to the next stroke. You forgot to trace your lines back to the VP with a different colored pen/pencil on your first page, but you did it on your second page.

• Rotated Boxes: First of all, your line weight is inconsistent and way too strong on the ones on the left side. Create line weight with the same fineliner as the rest of your lines and only add line weight with 1-2 strokes following the original line. I also notice you did not draw through some of your boxes, some boxes are missing lines.

• Organic Perspective: Although you redrew a few of your lines, you line quality is much better in this exercise. There is still some wobbling, but they are still smoother than the one in the rotated boxes and rough perspective exercises. Good work!

Overall, your line confidence needs some work. I suggest re-reading through the information given in the "Lines: Markmaking" section of Lesson 1 on the website, to make sure you're following the advice to the best of your ability. I notice some of your lines in the Ghosted Lines and Planes exercises came out quite smooth. Perhaps you tend to move your arm too slow, or you're not ghosting through enough times to reduce your hesitation? You can try ghosting your lines more times before you make your mark and move your arm faster through your stroke (using your shoulder) to see if that helps.

I will ask you to redo your Rotated Boxes exercise. Be sure to focus mainly on making a smooth and confident stroke rather than on accuracy. Try using subtle line weight around the silhouette of at least the first two rows of boxes, which helps keep track of your lines a bit as you work.

I also suggest adding those colored lines to your first page of Organic Perspective. You don't need to resubmit it, but you'll be doing that sort of thing a lot in the 250 box challenge and it's an important step not to forget.
