Good job completing lesson 1!

I can see that you improved a lot as you completed the lesson! In your super-imposed lines you do a good job creating fairly straight and confident looking lines. Though I can see that you struggled with your ghosted lines. There are areas where you appear to try and correct your marks part way through. This largely goes away in your planes, which are well constructed with confident and consistent lines. Still I'll mention that your main focus should be on creating confident and consistent lines, not accuracy. Accuracy is something you will develop as you continue to practice the ghosting method.

For your tables of ellipses I can see you did a good job drawing through your ellipses and trying to maintain a nice even shape. You did a good job focusing on keeping your lines consistent throughout your ellipse and I can see that your overall shape and consistency improves through the exercises. In your ellipses in planes for example, you do a good job maintaining a confident, round shape throughout. This applies to your funnels as well, they are largely well executed with confident and consistent lines. I did notice that some of the ellipses in your funnels exercise are tilting though so, one thing you can do if you ever find your ellipses are tilted is to try turning the paper until they line up correctly.

In your rough perspective boxes I can see you were careful in your placement and that you tried to keep your horizontal lines parallel with the horizon and you vertical lines perpendicular. Your boxes also do a good job of trying to converge on or near the plotted vanishing point, which you will work on more in the next steps. There are a couple of areas where your line quality goes down a bit. So, keep in mind that as you begin to construct more complex forms, that it is important to take your time and think through each step of your construction. Every line you make, no matter how small, should be planned, ghosted and drawn from the shoulder. This will help you maintain your confidence and consistency throughout Drawabox.

Looking at your rotated boxes I can see you did a good job. The rotated box exercise is very complex and challenging but again, you did a good job. I can see that you managed to get some good rotation in your boxes along the major axes and that your gaps stay narrow and consistent. Your construction is also better here and you did well drawing through your boxes and maintaining the confidence and consistency we look for. One thing to keep in mind when you go to add weight to your lines, is that you should approach the additional weight the same way you would a brand new line. That means ghosting through your lines and drawing them from the shoulder. This will allow your line weight to blend more seamlessly with your original line. You should also remember that every mark you make requires this kind of forethought and execution. Even the lines you use for hatching.

Lastly we have your organic perspective boxes. You have a good start here and I can see you tried to get your sets of parallel lines to converge consistently towards their shared vanishing point. This is something you will work on more in the next steps. Keep in mind what I have said above and you should continue to see improvement in your mark making as you continue to the next steps!

Good luck with the box challenge!
