Hi there!

Here is what I've noticed in your work:

Lines

1. Superimposed Lines

• I see fraying only on one end as there should be, so this is great!

• There is some wobble in your lines, perhaps you should try drawing them really fast without thinking. I find that this helps a lot. It doesn't matter if it is really off, just that it looks really smooth.

2. Ghosted Lines

• There is some wobble again, but most of the lines are really neat.

• Almost all lines pass through the endpoint (and end there) so great job on this one!

3. Ghosted Planes

• I can see the wobble diminishing compared to 1 and 2, so you're definitely improving.

• The lines cutting the planes in half should have been plotted (given a start and endpoint), that way you can use the ghosting method more effectively and we can see how accurate your lines are.

To summarize, all your lines are straight and pretty accurate so great job! The only thing that stands out is a bit of a wobble which you can probably get rid of by drawing faster. Imagine your pen is a match and you're trying to light it.

Ellipses

1. Table of Ellipses

• Draw through the ellipses 2-3 times! That is, draw the same ellipse 2-3 times (in the same place). It is for developing muscle memory.

2. Ellipses in Planes

• Good job placing the ellipses inside of the planes!

• Same as 1. draw them 2-3 times.

3. Funnels

• You can change the degree of the ellipses going from a small degree to a big one, but I just read that it's optional so you can ignore this point.

• Same as 1. and 2. draw them several times!

• Most of the large ellipses are cut in half by the minor axis, so good job with these! The smaller ones are a bit off because your minor axis isn't bisecting the funnel (the halves should be symmetric) so you literally can't have an ellipse that is cut in half by it (see my turquoise minor axis and see how more of the smaller ellipses are now cut in half: https://imgur.com/a/k5MB1Ex).

Boxes

1. Plotted Perspective

• Mostly neat, there are some missed lines (lowermost left box doesn't have a base), but you know how this one goes, so good job.

2. Rough Perspective

• This one looks like it was difficult. I see that some of the boxes have parallel edges when they shouldn't be. Perhaps you're focusing on drawing a box? Try to focus on drawing lines that always point to your vanishing point (see turquoise arrows in the link above).

3. Rotated Boxes

• I can see you trying to rotate your boxes so good job!

• Keep your gaps between the boxes consistent (this is why it seems messy), and don't be afraid to "squish" your boxes even more near the edges.

• Don't redo your lines.

• Draw only 2 boxes on each side of the center box.

4. Organic Perspective

• Most of the boxes are great, but some are really off. Don't rush! Take your time for each box.

I would definitely recommend trying going over some of your ellipses and maybe giving the Rotated Boxes another try if you have the time and patience (and if you do it, really look at the drawabox example, or even try to copy it).

I hope this helps you!

It appears you were not given the next steps explicitly, so there was some confusion here. Don't worry too much about it, though, I'll go over some points here. For your lines, do focus on that confidence like the fellow said before. Remember that the point of ghosting is to allow your arm to move on its own after building enough muscle memory because giving this task to your conscious brain will result in wobbling. So it is important that you let go of that control and let your arm do the work for you after guiding it with the ghosting method.

Next, your ellipses, I will ask you to redo one page of table of ellipses since you did not draw through them twice, this is to help you get more comfortable with them later on as they become really important in lesson 3, so developing that confidence now will help you out. Don't forget, just like with your lines, you ghost these and build muscle memory. Refer to the ellipses exercise here and highly recommend you watch the videos as well. Take your time reading the instructions.

Your grasp of perspective needs some time and practice to develop, but this is fine in my opinion, just follow the advice that was provided by the fellow before me and do them in your warm-ups. As I said before on the discord, focus on the rotated boxes a bit more in your warm-ups for now, you don't have to do the whole exercise, simply do the best you can and stop once the timer reaches 0 to move on.

I was on the conversation with you on discord here regarding the redo here: https://discord.com/channels/365036548820959242/368870697742630912/899061193921163264

With this: http://imgur.com/a/dvPIMdP being your submission.

What I will say is that you did much better now drawing through your ellipses and they are both symmetrical and angled properly. Now, you still need to work on that confidence so it is important that in your warm-ups you work on that confidence. But, this is enough to get you ready for the next lesson. Since you did the 250-box challenge, then I recommend you wait for a critique there and do any necessary redos form it before continuing lesson 2 like how we discussed in the discord chat. I will mark your lesson as complete here so you can move on. Don't forget the pinned message!
