Hi, this is my second time going through Lesson 1 (I started going through Drawabox last year but ended up dropping it, I decided to give it another shot and try to finish all the lessons this time). My accuracy isn't super great but I hope that it will improve over time with more practice.

Thanks in advance for any criticism or comments!

Looks nice! I think you can relax your hand well and draw freely, I like it! The advice helped me - do not rush, do not draw very quickly, but try to do each line as attentively as possible. You're doing fine!

Thank you! I also noticed that sometimes I'm not super mindful about each line. I'll keep that in mind as I continue practicing.

Congratulations on completing Lesson 1, I'll be critiquing this.

Your Superimposed lines are fine and barely fray, which is very good to keep in mind, knowing that you take the time to keep the pen at the start of the line before making it.

Your Ghosted Lines are the same as well, though some arch a bit.

For your Planes, they have ample space and are equally divided, which means you are using the ghosting method.

Regarding your Tables of Ellipses, they are filled to the brim and don't overshoot too much with the table they're in, and towards each ellipse, which is good.

The Funnels are similar, with each ellipse touching each other without any overlap, and in tandem with the axis of the funnel.

Your Rough Perspective is good, as there are many boxes in each table comverging to the point.

Your Rotated Boxes show a lot of promise as each box has it's own rotation and has hatching, showing that you took the time.

Your Organic Perspective is also filled to the brim with boxes of varying sizes which is good, and it flows well with the lines you have drawn.

Next Steps:

Clip Studio Paint

I've used a ton of different drawing and painting software over the course of my career, so I can say with confidence that what CSP offers is impressive.

The software is designed around drawing and painting, and it really shows. The brush engine is extremely dynamic, capturing a wide variety of stroke types and effects, making it easy to emulate traditional media if that's what you're after, while still being able to create very polished digital-style graphics.

It also provides a variety of features to make your life easier on a wide variety of projects - from speech bubble and framing tools for comics, to perspective and ellipse guides, to bringing in 3D assets to streamline the production process, to multi-page files, and more. At every turn, it puts the control in your hands, so you can focus on what it is you want to create.
