Hi there,

1. Super-imposed lines- good work with your lines. You took your time to align your pen to the starting point

2. Ghosted lines-good job also but there's some occasional wobble in some lines. Continue practicing these in your warm-ups and within no time you'll be a master in drawing smooth confident lines

3. Ghosted lines. Good but again occasional wobbling in some lines. Good work drawing all the dissections of your planes. Very many people forget them.

4. Ellipses in planes - good job on the first page. Your ellipses are tightly packed and most are smooth showing you took time to ghost through them. One minimal problem some of your ellipses don't touch the top and bottom boundaries. Other than that you are ok.

5. Ellipses in planes- this is one of the places I've seen some problem. Most of the ellipses dont alline to a central minor axis. Also some of them overlap and they are not supposed to. It seems as if you rushed here. So i would advice you to do a page more of them and focus on aligning the ellipses to the central minor axis.

6. Ellipses in planes- first page your ellipses are not smooth they are kinda wobbly. But in the second page there's major improvement. And your ellipses fit snugly inside the planes. This shows you took time to ghost.

7. Plotted perspective - good obvious

8. Rough perspective - also good. No problems here. The exercises is mainly meant for you to start thinking of drawing boxes without plotting them back to the vanishing point. So perspective will not be perfect at first but with practice and by doing the 250 box challenge your 3d thinking will expand.

9. Rotated boxes- great job. Your rotation is good. This exercise was meant to be hard but you nailed it

10. Organic perspective- good job on attempting the exercise. I would advice you to exaggerate the difference between the box closer to you and the one further away. This will make them have more depth. Also most of your boxes perspective is wrong but you'll work on that on the 250 box challenge

Good job on completing lesson on. Now on you go to the 250 box challenge. But please before you do do one page of the ellipses in funnels. Thank you

First of all welcome to draw a box and I hope you enjoy your journey through learning how to draw. Just a side note for future reference, if you could write the exercise on the piece of paper that would be very helpful to us as well.

So I can tell from your two pages of superimposed lines that you draw quite confidently which is good, however some of the straight lines curve a slight amount, just make sure you’re using your shoulder. Moving onto the ghosted lines you can tell that the confidence doesn’t continue as much as it did, this is somewhat understandable to be honest considering it is a new step. I find it thinking about it puts too much pressure on myself, so if you don’t think about it and just do it you’ll be amazed at the difference it makes.

Moving onto the planes this continues where the lines flick out a bit as well as curve slightly. This might be because of you not ghosting the lines as you did with the previous exercise, I suspect this as I can’t see any start and end points and it just appears that you’ve drawn the lines. If you have then I apologise I am just reporting upon what I personally see.

With the planes being mentioned I will now move onto the circles within them, and you can see that you confidently draw through the ellipses which is good, however there are a few of them where you slightly overshoot or undershoot, so it doesn’t touch the line of the plane. This is similar to ellipses In the tables you draw them confidently but some of them don’t touch the sides. It is good that you’ve drawn these confidently, as accuracy can be learned. Similar to the funnels you do them confidently and some of them are symmetrically divided which is good however, some are slightly off, but in the grand scheme of things it doesn’t matter that much, just keep an eye out for it.

Moving onto the boxes just make sure your lines are either vertical or horizontal, not slightly angled. You mainly do this however there are a few and your lines aren’t as confident as what they could be. This continues to the rotating boxes however with the rotating boxes, where most of your corners match up which is good, however there are a few on the bottom that do not, so as always just watch out for this. The final exercise is hard and I’m glad that you’ve had a go at it, but don’t worry about perspective as after this you will continue onto the 250 box challenge and you will learn a lot about it through practice practice practice as I did.

So in general this is a good first attempt considering this is your first lesson, but you do really need to be ghosting your lines more to make sure that they are straight and confident. Don’t beat yourself up about this though as that’s the whole point in feedback, and with feedback being mentioned I hope mine has been alright because I’ve just started doing it.

I hope you continue to enjoy your process through the draw a box course.
