Congratulations on completing lesson 1!

Starting with your super-imposed lines I can see you do a fairly good job of pushing through and creating your marks with confidence. In your ghosted lines your lines are smooth, confident and committed. You did a pretty good job of maintaining this into your planes homework. I can see that in a few areas here and in some of your later homework that you appear to struggle with ending your marks when you want to. One thing you can try is lifting your pen off of the page to end your mark rather than stopping the motion of your arm.

For your tables of ellipses I can see that there were a few areas where you drew through your ellipses incorrectly. As you can see here in the instructions, you are meant to draw through your ellipses 2-3 times only. When you draw through your ellipses too much it makes it more difficult for you to keep track of the specific ellipse you were trying to draw. Generally I recommend that you stick to drawing through your ellipses twice instead of three times, to better help you focus on drawing through your ellipse correct while maintaining a confident, even shape. In the ellipses in planes homework there are still areas where you are drawing through your ellipses incorrectly, but you do manage to create ellipses that are smooth, confidently shaped and fairly round. Last for this section is your funnels. For the most part you did a good job on this section. Apart from issues we have touched on before, your ellipses are decently made with confident and fairly even shapes. I do notice that some of them are slanting along their minor axis. To fix this you can turn the page you are working on until the ellipses line up correctly.

In your rough perspective homework I can see you do a fairly decent job of placing your ellipses correctly on the page. Your horizontal lines stay fairly parallel to the horizon and your vertical lines stay perpendicular. I do notice that the quality of your mark making dips a bit here and I see more signs of hesitation and wobbling in the construction of your boxes. Keep in mind as you progress through Drawabox and begin to construct more complex forms that it is important to put in the time and focus required to execute each line correctly and to apply the ghosting method to every step of the process, as explained here. You should also frequently refer back to the instructions to ensure you are doing everything correctly and to the best of your current ability. That being said, you did manage to get many of your boxes to converge on or near the plotted vanishing point, which is something you will work on more in the next steps.

The rotated boxes exercise is a challenging and complex exercise. You did a pretty good job for your first attempt. You rotated your boxes along the major axes, your boxes are a little better constructed than in the previous exercise and overall I can see you put in a lot of effort and did your best on this exercise. Now, while you did rotate your boxes successfully along the major axes, I do see that you rotated those first boxes a bit too far which caused you to not have a lot of room left for rotation when you got to the boxes along the outer edge. I can also see that you struggled a lot with keeping your gaps narrow and consistent which forces you to use guess work as explained here. The last thing I will mention that I believe effected the overall quality of your work here is the size at which you drew. Your rotated boxes exercise as a whole looks a bit small which limits the room you have to work in and drawing smaller impedes your spacial reasoning skills while drawing larger helps to engage those skills. This is something to keep in mind for the next steps.

Finally with your organic perspective boxes I can see that you really put in a lot of effort. There is some room for improvement with getting your sets of parallel lines to converge more consistently towards their shared vanishing points. That is something you will work on more in the next steps. Keep in mind what I said before about taking your time as you begin to construct more complex forms as some of your lines here are more wobbly and hesitant than before.
