Superimposed lines

The arcs and horizontal lines are better especially the shorter ones. The vertical lines are fraying quite a bit (try to rotate the page) and the lines seem to wobble at the end (but that will be fixed with practice).

Ghosted lines

It seems like you are not confident in some of the tilted lines as there is some wobble, but most of them are are straight are quite accurate.

Ghosted planes and Ellipses in planes

The planes on the first page are made quite well, some of the tilted angles are overshooting a little, but it seems to be a little better on the second page.

Table of Ellipses

Same as the ghosted planes, I see some overshooting and overlapping but it gets better on the second page.

Funnels

The funnels are very well made, you did a good job aligning the ellipses to the axis and the shape is quite on point.

Plotted Perspectice Boxes

You repeated a few lines, but overall followed the instructions correctly.

Rough Perspective Boxes

You are repeating lines quite a bit, try using the horizon line as a reference to plot the boxes then ghost the lines until you are confident (Keep the width of the box parallel to the horizon line and the length of the box at a 90 degree angle). If you feel stuck then take a step back, relax your shoulder and once you draw a line don't change it.

Rotated Boxes

This is a hard exercise so I won't say much about it. You will get a better once you start working on the 250 box challenge

Organic boxes

Some of the boxes are repeating. but again, once you start the 250 box challenge you will get better.

I hope this was helpful, Good luck on your journey and on the 250 box challenge!

Next Steps:

Use the Superimposed lines exercise and the Ghosted lines exercise to warm up before starting.

Staedtler Pigment Liners

Staedtler Pigment Liners

These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.

Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
