Hi, and congrats on getting through the first lesson!
Lines: The frayed lines look like they should, fraying at only one end, and pretty confident. The ghosted lines look good as well. There's not that many lines or planes, but that's okay if you keep doing these things as warm ups.
Ellipses: There are 2-3 passes, which is good, and they look pretty confident. Your accuracy and evenness will improve as you continue to do them in warmups.
Boxes:
-Rough perspective: the lines look horizontal and perpendicular to the horizon, as they should, and you look to be aiming for the VP pretty well. There's some hesitance on the lines, but that will clear up with warmups and more boxes.
-Rotated boxes: You're getting the idea here. Some of the box bases at the top and bottom are "floating" a bit away from the rest, but not super far. Also, the upper left, upper right, lower left, and lower right boxes are missing. (I fyou check the example, each quadrant should have 4 boxes, not counting the ones on the axes.)
-Organic perspective: These are pretty good, with converging lines. Adding line weight cleanly will get easier with more practice. I did notice that you didn't allow any of the boxes to overlap. In later lessons, you'll work on allowing overlap to convey depth.Overall, good job!
Next Steps:
Add the last 4 boxes to the rotated boxes page, if you still have the paper.
Add a few more boxes to the organic perspective page so that you have a few overlaps. Try to think about what is in front of what in the 3D space you are representing. Depth is hard to imagine, but it will slowly come.
You'll get lots more practice in the 250 box challenge! Good luck!
These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.
Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
