Helloo Houston1722!
First of all, congratulations on finishing your first DAB exercise!
I don't think the faint lines are a problem, as long as we can see them. Also, don't worry about the dominant hand thing, just do whatever is best for you to draw from your shoulder so that you get confident and not wobbly lines.
So here are some stuff i noticed in your drawings:
-
Your lines look good in general, there's a bit of arching on the longer lines of the superimposed lines exercise so watch out for that. The ghosting lines exercise looks great, but your lines came out quite wobbly on the ghosted planes, i'll just remind you of always draw from your shoulder, even when you have small lines. I think part of why this happened is because you were trying to figure it out what works best for you.
-
Good job with the ellipses! They are drawn confidently and they are within the bounds, i see you didn't drawn through 2/3 times on some of the ellipses, but i think you are aware that it should've had been. This extends to the funnels exercise, and additionally, the minor axis is cutting the ellipses in 2 symmetrical halves, so congrats.
-
In your rough perspective drawings you did right by keeping the horizontal lines parallel to the horizon line, and the vertical ones perpendicular to it, but you lines are quite wobbly, also i see you repeated some lines, which is kinda of a normal thing for beginners to do, but remember that you shouldn't repeat a line, if there's a mistake it must be taken as if is correct and move on.
-
The organic perspective exercise is good too, the boxes look wonky because the perspective is off and they came out distorted which is very normal at this point of the course. Again i see some line repetition and some wobblying, so i think you should practice drawing from your shoulder more.
-
I don't really have much to say about the rotated boxes exercise, to me it looks like they are rotating, which is the goal of the exercise, and there's the same lines issues.
I hope this was helpful to you and i think you're ready for the 250 Boxes Challenge!
Next Steps:
On to the 250 Boxes Challenge!
