Hey Leone,

Congrats on completing Lesson 1. Here are my thoughts on your submission:

Superimposed Lines To much fraying in the middle and at the end of lines. This will be important later on when adding line weight, so don't forget about it just yet

Ghosted Lines Some are a bit wobbly, but overall pretty good.

Table of Ellipses Ellipses are clearly your strength. Not much to add.

Ellipses in Planes In some cases I fear you were obsessing over touching all edges instead of trusting your ghosting method. Better to overshoot all edges than loose confidence in lines (first eliminate wobble, than improve accuracy and consistency) But most of your ellipses were excellent so I shouldn't be complaining about them.

Funnels Solid performance

Rough Perspective You had some trouble plotting your lines back to their vanishing point. Decent line quality. This exercise felt a bit rushed to me.

Rotated boxes Well done. You didn't add any line weight, but I think this was optional.

Organic Perspective Very well done. Your line quality gets better as you practice more.

Next Steps:

250 Boxes

Thank you very much!

I'll definitely look into the mistakes you've pointed out!

Ellipse Master Template

Ellipse Master Template

This recommendation is really just for those of you who've reached lesson 6 and onwards.

I haven't found the actual brand you buy to matter much, so you may want to shop around. This one is a "master" template, which will give you a broad range of ellipse degrees and sizes (this one ranges between 0.25 inches and 1.5 inches), and is a good place to start. You may end up finding that this range limits the kinds of ellipses you draw, forcing you to work within those bounds, but it may still be worth it as full sets of ellipse guides can run you quite a bit more, simply due to the sizes and degrees that need to be covered.

No matter which brand of ellipse guide you decide to pick up, make sure they have little markings for the minor axes.
