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.

Next Steps:

Do one table of ellipses and draw through them twice confidently. Good luck!

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

I legit forgot this website existed. Bruh.

But I saw the revision. I think it's good enough, they are smoother and more confident than before so you got the gist of it. Good luck ahead, if you are still there.

Next Steps:

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

This is a remarkable little pen. Technically speaking, any brush pen of reasonable quality will do, but I'm especially fond of this one. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.

Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.
