Hello i will be critiquing you today.
Lines:
Your super imposed lines were smooth and accurate.
your ghosted planes and your ghosted lines were excellent, you did a very good job ghosting out your lines and keeping them straight and consistent.
There is a bit of wobbliness but that is expected.
Overall your line section was very good.
Ellipses:
Your ellipses in table exercise did a good job of not overlapping, and fitting comfortably in their tables.
On a couple of the early ones your ellipses weren't as accurate, but you got better as the exercise went on.
Your ellipse in planes was very accurate and smooth. They touched all 4 sides and fit well in their area. I really appreciate how you filled the page with as many planes as you could.
The funnel exercise was also great, and was symmetrical and even.
Overall your ellipse section was great, and there wasn't much to critique.
Boxes:
There isn't much to say about the plotted perspective exercise. It was neat and tidy.
Your rough perspective was honestly incredibly good. Its not easy to predict where the line will go, but you made good work out of it.
Your rotated boxes were very neat and straight.
Your organic perspective exercise was really solid aside from a few things.
You did a good job drawing boxes in different angles, but your foreshortening lines were a bit off. Foreshortening lines should always contract. The other issue was repeating lines. Its important to leave the lines as they are, rather then redrawing the line. These problems will go away with the 250 boxes challenge which I recommend you do next.
You did very good!
Im giving you the green light to move on!
Next Steps:
The 250 Box Challenge.

Thank you so much for the critique!

It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
Staedtler Pigment Liners
These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.
Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
