Hello, before I do the critique, please arrange your pictures in order of the lesson next time you post your work for critique (lines,ellipses and boxes). It's a lot harder to critique you when everything is disorganized.

Overall, you did great! Good job for persevering and pushing through it!

Now let's start the critique :>

Lines:

Your super imposed lines are pretty good. You made confident strokes and kept the fraying to only one end. I also like how there's a wide range of lines and you used up as much of your page as you could. If there's anything I should say on this, it would be that you should have tried to draw more curves and get some practice in that area too, but it isn't mandatory so no worries.

Your ghosted lines are good as well, even though it didn't connect both dots on some occasions, you still got that confident stroke (majority of time) so even if it isn't accurate the goal isn't accuracy but confident and smooth strokes with no wobbles. I did see some wobbles towards the end of your lines, so remember that it's always better to raise your pen when you reach the point rather than slowing down.

Your ghosted planes had a bit of overshooting but that's normal. I also saw a bit of wobbling, so just make sure to draw with your shoulders and not your wrist or elbows. Anyways you followed the instructions well and you filled up as much space as you could, good job.

Ellipses:

In your tables of ellipses, I like how you drew a variety of ellipses and kept them very close together. My advice to you for the next time you do this exercise in the warm-ups is, to try and stay within the boundaries, I often see you go past or below the boundaries instead of touching it so you should be more mindful of that.

In the ellipses in planes exercise, you drew your ellipses too many times, it's best to just draw it 2 or 3 times. Once again, I noticed that you were struggling to keep the ellipses touching all the edges of the planes, you were either overshooting or undershooting, so like before i recommend keeping your eyes out on these issues. One thing that would be of use is to always remember to used the ghosting method as many times as you want, start out slowly ghosting your ellipse then speeding it up gradually and then draw the actual ellipse when you feel ready. Dont rush, take your time and relax if needed be.

For the funnels exercise, I still see the problem with keeping your ellipses in the boundaries, don't worry though, this is absolutely normal and we aren't expecting perfection. Moreover, you've improved and I only notice a tiny bit of overlap occasionally, I believe you'd get even more practice in the later lessons and challenges.

Boxes:

Nothing much I can say on the plotted perspective, you followed the steps well, Good job.

In your plotted perspective exercise, your lines were very wobbly, please remember to use the ghosting method and draw with your wrist. Remember, this is an exercise to help hone your skills so don't worry if it's not exactly accurate, we just want confident lines and with time your accuracy will improve.

Your rotated boxes exercise is great, it seems like you've got the hang of drawing boxes now, good job.

In your organic perspective, your lines were much, much more smoother and confident, so well done. Though, I did notice that some of your boxes were just floating aroung and were not on the line so be more aware of that next time. Another thing to mention is the inconsistent sizes, our goal is to make the viewer believe that all the boxes are the same size but just that one is farther aways while the others are closer, we do that by gradually increasing the size or gradually decreasing the size ( depending on which end of the line you want to start from) of the box, However, I saw that some of your boxes size weren't moving in the order that we intend you to do (small-big-bigger)and instead were moving in an irregular pattern (ex: big- small-bigger), so keep an eye for the size of your boxes next time you do this in warm-ups.

And we're done with the critique! I hope this was helpful and congratz on finishing Lesson 1, don't worry about the mistakes you've made because it's normal and you'll get to practice and improve on it in the next lessons and challenges.

You appear to understand the concepts of lesson one very well, so I think your ready to move on to the 250 box challange!

Good luck!

Bonus: your ink seemed to run dry in majority of your assignments so i recommend getting another pen.
