Hello! Congratulations on getting through your first lesson!

Now to the critique:

Lines: In the superimposed lines exercise remember that there shouldn't be fraying on both ends. Instead lines should start from the same place every time. In the ghosted lines exercise your lines look good! They are smooth and mostly accurate. However in the later exercises they wobble in some places so remember to ghost lines enough times and then execute them confidently: they shouldn't curve or wobble. Also, refrain from drawing a line again even if it doesn't turn out the way you want it to which, by the way, is perfectly normal as you are learning.

Ellipses: Overall your ellipses look good! I would still though remind you to prioritize smooth confident lines over accuracy as in some of the ellipses there seem to be a slight wobble. In the funnels the minor axis should cut ellipses into two symmetrical halves. That, however, improves with accuracy over time so it is nothing to worry about now as long as your ellipses are smooth and confidently drawn.

Boxes: Your exercises in this section are done really well! Especially the rotated boxes one! There are some little things to keep in mind: In the rough perspective exercise remember that width lines should be parallel to the horizon line and height lines perpendicular to the horizon line. In the plotted exercise remember to keep the boxes in between the vanishing points to avoid distortion.

Overall your exercises were done very well! Even if there are a few things to keep in mind, you seem to have understood the concepts taught in this lesson and you are ready to move on to the 250 box challenge. You can address the things I have pointed out in your warm ups.

Great job on finishing your first lesson!

Next Steps:

250 box challenge

Thank you so much for spending your time on reviewing my exercises.

I agree about the general accuracy of the lines, I don't have much of a steady hand, so I realized that would be one point of improvement in my exercises. Thank you, I hope I get better at it throught the course.

I will make an effort in reminding myself to improve on the confidence of my lines.

Again, thank you for the feedback!

When it comes to technical drawing, there's no one better than Scott Robertson. I regularly use this book as a reference when eyeballing my perspective just won't cut it anymore. Need to figure out exactly how to rotate an object in 3D space? How to project a shape in perspective? Look no further.
