Hi Chazeyrain,

I will be critiquing your homework today. First of all, congrats on completing lesson 1! And thank you for setting everything up everything for an easy critique. As a general comment overall: you followed the instructions as given across all exercises so unless specifically mentioned otherwise, there are no issues there.

1. Superimposed lines

There is hardly any wobbling in the lines. Your curved lines are pretty good, and there is impressively little fraying at the starting point. Overall, this looks very good.

2. Ghosted lines

It's another excellent page. You are very accurate in hitting both the start and end points-- there are only a few instances of overshooting and undershooting in your lines. A few lines show a tiny bit of curving (that may be an odd reverting to drawing from the wrist / fingers). Overall, you seem to be hitting level 3 consistently on this.

3. Ghosted planes

Really good. Your lines connect neatly, and the diagonals and bisectors meet properly in the centre of each plane. You have ghosted the lines well!

4. Tables of ellipses

These are some neatly and snugly packed ellipses! Your ability to draw over the initial ellipse a second time is also excellent. There are occasional misshapen ellipses, but that can be fixed with warm-ups of this exercise.

5. Ellipses in planes

Another very good couple of sheets again, overall. Your ellipses connect really nicely with all 4 edges of the planes in general. When you don’t hit the edges 100%, you seem to overshoot and sometimes undershoot, so I’d suggest ghosting a bit more to tackle that. There are very few instances of your ellipses being deformed, and you are again showing a lot of skill in drawing through them.

6. Funnels

Your ellipses fit really snuggly in the funnels and are nicely drawn through again. They overall line up pretty well along the minor axis and are smoothly executed.

7. Plotted perspective

This is a solid page. The only thing to watch out for is some of your vertical lines being off sometimes. The rest of the construction is solid. My only suggestion would be to hatch the front face of every box in every section of this exercise to make it easier to understand at a glance.

8. Rough perspectives

Overall, this is a good sheet. Some of your lines are a bit more wobbly or curved than in earlier exercises (ghosted lines / ghosted planes) – maybe check whether this is the result of focusing a bit less on ghosting and more on placing corners?

9. Rotated boxes

This is a job well done on a tough exercise! A few things I noted:

• The size of boxes and the work space in general is rather small. when tackling this exercise next time as a part of your warm-ups, try drawing larger boxes.

• Some of your “corner boxes” tend to have slightly bendy lines, following the rotation: watch out about this and try to concentrate on keeping those lines straight, even if you intuitively want to curve them to make the rotations smoother.

• The back corners of a lot of your boxes are wobbly. Try ghosting your lines for this. This problem will easily fix itself when you tackle 250 boxes next. I'd suggest you to practice this sheet with a bigger work space for warm-ups in the next lessons.

10. Organic perspective

Let me start by saying you did an excellent job on creating a sense of depth along the path by making the boxes bigger or smaller depending on where they fall on the path. You have skillfully applied shallow foreshortening in most of the boxes. This will only improve when you tackle 250 boxes. Make sure to draw the back face of the boxes next time you pick up this exercise for warm-ups to improve your spacial reasoning and rotation of boxes in free space.

I think you definitely have a good enough grasp of the material to continue working on your own in your warm-ups . You have great potential. Good Luck!
