Hey thanks for the really awesome feedback!!

Funny story (well not really) about the Funnels. If you look at that page again, you'll see that the date is at the bottom and upside down. So I actually started at the top doing it wrong, I thought I was meant to tightly group them, then realized half way through that this wasn't correct :D! So I've done the Funnels homework again here: https://imgur.com/gallery/qaQKc8n

Regardless I do find these ellipses difficult! When drawing over them 2 times it's so hard to make it look like a single line!

For Rough Perspective, your lines have a good bit of wobble to them. Remember, the goal is not accuracy but confidence in your lines.

Good point! I find especially for lines which are shorter in length it's much harder to control the movement with my shoulder! But you're totally right, I must focus on ghosting and then just commit and be confident and smooth (this is something I'll really focus on during the 250 boxes!)

Rotated boxes yeah I messed that one up, I realized too late that I was really under rotating! During the Organic perspective exercise I felt like I really started to understand it much better the more I did!

Thanks again for the feedback!

Your revised page of funnels looks great; I'd say you're all set for 250 boxes! I've so far done just under 50 boxes, and boy... it's really challenging, much more so than the exercises in the box section of Lesson 1. Just keep going though and you should get the hang of it. Best of luck!

Next Steps:

Next step is the 250 box challenge! You are also now qualified to critique other lesson 1 submissions which is highly encouraged. Here's a quick guide on critiquing lesson 1: https://pastebin.com/dYnFt9PQ

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

This is a remarkable little pen. Technically speaking, any brush pen of reasonable quality will do, but I'm especially fond of this one. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.

Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.
