Some ellipses look wobbly, this more apparent on the ellipses on planes.

In rough perspective 1 there's visible wobbling in the lines, not as much as on the second page.

The rotated boxes looks pretty spot on, great!

One thing I can suggest for ellipses is for you to start it at different points and/or changing the direction (clockwise, counter clockwise) to see which one tends to give out better results. This is the kind of thing you can do with a pencil, just to get a good feel of the alternatives.

Lines

Really wobbly especially in the boxes, DRAW CONFIDENTLY. Straight strong lines first then work on accuracy

Ellipses

Also incredibly wobbly(refer back to lines) and sometimes in the funnel and plane exercise you drew on loop for your elipses. "Ellipses must be drawn through ellipses 2 to 3 times, (2 times preferably)"(drawabox critique guide).

Boxes

Same issue with lines, however your rotated boxes exercise is good. Also in organic perspective the beginning boxes are way too small, slowly increase the size otherwise the scale is thrown out of order.

Overall

Unfortunately you need to redo lesson 1 again, lesson 1 is to encourage confident strong lines and it seems like this isn't there.

i think you should redo lesson 1.

READ the article thoroughly and understand the video

then start the exercise one by one..don't rush.

Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.

Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.

Remember that when you agree with something another user has written, you are putting your own reputation behind it.

Consider the following:

  • If it's homework feedback, does it address each section of the lesson/challenge, or only briefly touch upon one or two exercises?
  • Does it provide clearly defined next steps for the student to follow?
  • Have you read through it thoroughly, or are you simply agreeing so the student earns a superficial badge?
  • Replies you agree with will be visible in your sketchbook

Agreeing blindly just to be nice is a good way to get your permissions associated with this function revoked, so make sure that you genuinely feel that the response is beneficial to the student.
