Hello I'm Simon and will be reviewing your Lesson 1 :)

1. Superimposed lines

First of all you did a good job of drawing your lines confidently and committing to the stroke once you started it. Fraying is only visible on the end of your lines that proves you took the time to start each stroke on the same point, well done!

2. Ghosted lines

Your ghosted lines are wobbly, you should take the time to draw every stroke individually, and should use the ghosting method for every stroke you put on the page, taking your time as you do it. Your lines remain straight, that's good in the future keep the habit of drawing with your whole arm so you have long confident lines! You did a good job of having your lines end up near or on the final dot, keep practicing this exercise (and the others) in your warmups to get even better at it!

3. Ghosted planes

You did a really good job of doing your ghosted planes, your lines are as good/better than the ones from your previous exercises.

4. Table of ellipses

You aren't drawing through every ellipse twice, be sure to take your time and to confidently draw your full ellipse twice over whenever you draw an ellipse, this will help you get a smoother result and to be more confident in your mark. If you are unsure on how to do that be sure to go back and watch the video of the ellipses exercise to see how Uncomfortable tackles this. You tried to fit every ellipse and circle snugly along the borders of your tables good job, it is tough to achieve but as long as you keep striving for it you'll improve! Most of your ellipses are evenly shaped and appear smooth good job! Getting a perfect ellipse is a really hard job but you'll have time to work on it through your warmups.

5. Ellipses in planes

It seems like you didn't draw through every ellipse twice, be sure to take your time and to confidently draw your full ellipse twice over whenever you draw an ellipse, this will help you get a smoother result and to be more confident in your mark. You tried and managed to fit your ellipses right between the four sides great job on managing to do that! Some of your ellipses aren't really evenly shaped, you should draw your ellipses with bold confident lines, once you started drawing don't think about where your line needs to go that was to be planned during the ghosting part, once you start draw with your whole arm a confident ellipse!

6. Funnels

Here too you tried to fit every ellipse snugly along the curves well done, even if it is tougher to do with a non straight edge it's a really good practice. You kept most of your ellipses along the direction of the minor axis, keep practicing this exercise as a warmup in your next lessons.

7. Plotted perspective

As mentioned in the exercise you used a ruler to draw your boxes that's all good. You kept the first lines of your boxes perpendicular to the horizon as you should've, well done. You made sure to plot every single line back to the right vanishing point so good job, even though some back corners don't come out perfectly that's completely fine :)

8. Rough perspective

Managing to land every single line exactly back to the vanishing point is a near impossible task at this point but what's important is you tried and most of your lines do try to reach that center point! The front back of your boxes is rectangular each time, that's great. You don't seem to understand how to draw your lines extensions. You're not supposed to put your ruler to the VP, the AIM of the exercise is for your lines extension to reach the VP but most likely most of your lines aren't, when drawing the lines extensions you should put your ruler along the sides of your boxes and extend it until you reach the horizon, and then you can see how close to the VP and how well you did. If my explanation is not clear I recommend you go back to read about the exercise on it's page. You seem to have used the ghosting method for every stroke that's good! Keep using it for every stroke and your exercises will look much better than if you didn't!

9. Rotated boxes

The setup of your rotated boxes is well laid out with the cross and the 4 cubes to strive for in each cardinal direction :) Your gaps between the boxes seem a bit loose or inconsistent. You should be keeping these gaps tight and consistent to guide your lines. This way, you can focus on making those lines parallel and avoid unnecessary guessing. You seem to understand how to rotate your boxes, but don’t seem to rotate them enough, that’s fine since it still shows that you understood the assignment but if you can I’d like you to try this exercise once more while keeping an eye on the side squares you drew at the start as a goal for you 2nd box on each side. Drawing through your boxes is also a key part of the exercise and is also making you start practicing this skill that will be used for every box in the 250 challenge. You don't seem to have properly drawn every box of the whole set though, if you go and look back at the demo of this exercise you should see that there are two boxes in every single direction of the central boxes, achieving at the end a sort of 5x5 square being wrapped around a ball, I strongly encourage you to finish this exercise before you move on to the 250 boxes challenge!

10. Organic perspective

Once again using the ghosting method for every single stroke of this course is a crucial part into getting good habits for your whole drawing journey! Some of your boxes seem to have parallel or diverging lines, that's a common mistake when drawing shallower foreshortening boxes and the only way to get better at it will be through taking the time to place each stroke carefully while drawing your boxes, take your time. You will also improve on this as you move through the 250 boxes challenge! You did a good job of drawing shallower foreshortening here as some people tend to go into more dramatic foreshortening which in this exercise as the effect of making the boxes seem inconsistent in scale compared to each other, overall making the drawing less solid and less believable.

Don't forget to complete your 50/50 rule and to add these exercises to your warups for future lessons!

Also I strongly encourage you to go review some submissions on the website :) You can review some lessons 1 and once you've completed future lessons review those as well. Don't hesitate to do a review every so often. It really benefits you so you don't forget the point of the previous exercises and helps other people who are waiting on a review :)
