Hello and welcome to drawabox!

Before I start critique.

It is ok to use also google photos if imgur seemingly hates you ;)

To make photos of homework for submission is also ok (most students do it). I even didn’t notice the difference ;)

And now closer to your submission.

Lines

Superimposed lines are quite good. In the first page you started with some wobbly lines and frying at the end for the longest lines was quite large. But then you straightened them up in second page. Good job. Lines started to be smoother and more consistent. However, your lines are still 'fraying' on the end, but in this stage, it is entirely normal. It will reduce with practice and time. And remember to draw from the shoulder, it will straighten your lines more effectively.

Ghosted lines look quite confident, too. Lines are nicely starting from plotted dot but not always hit the end dot. And it is normal for this stage. However, I notice few wobbly lines. Also, your lines sometimes arc as they approach the end point. It is fine for it to stop short of, overshoot, or miss the end point, because the goal here is – first confidence, then accuracy.

Ghosted planes. You have understood the exercise. The good thing here is – you didn’t forget ghosted technique and plotted dots for each line (sometimes students forget it in this exercise).

Ellipses

Tables of ellipses looks confident and they are drawn through ellipses 2 (preferable) times. I see that you tried keeping the ellipses within the bounds, and tried each ellipse touching each other, without overlapping. Good job. Accuracy here will come with practice. The orientation of ellipses (the angle at which it is positioned) is also in most cases quite consistent within the same section that is good. However, I noticed some pointy ellipses. Remember that goal here is not only confident ellipses but also circular ellipses. Make sure that you draw from your shoulder and your arm is not blocked.

Ellipses in planes. Good job. You are clearly aiming for them to touch all four sides of the plane, but not to the extent that they lose their roundness – that is the way to go.

Regarding your ellipses in funnels - the minor axis does not always cut each ellipse into two equal, symmetrical halves. In turn, degree of ellipses are quite good. In my opinion one thing that could affected your ellipses a little bit in wrong way is that you didn’t use some circular object to draw more symmetrical arcs for funnels. But in any case, in this exercise, the ellipses should follow the axes more precisely.

Boxes

Plotted Perspective. Nice job.

Rough Perspective. Here I see that you a little struggling with boxes. But the good thing is – that you tried to draw horizontal (width) lines of boxes parallel to horizon but vertical (height) lines of boxes perpendicular to horizon. Probably some grasp of it is still needed but you are on the right track. Even though you have mistaken in your estimations, most of the boxes still are likely to look quite close to correct. And for this stage it is enough. In turn, the confidence of lines has decreased compared to ghosted lines/planes (it could happen because sometimes students are overwhelmed by big picture and forget about ghosting method or are more concentrated on not ruining boxes than on confident lines). Remember – each line in this course we should do with ghosting method. Even drawing boxes. And one more thing that is also important – do not correct your initial lines otherwise it looks messy not confident. The marking them as not correct also will not make here help. Just leave it as it is and move on.

Rotated Boxes. Good work on this exercise - boxes packed together with narrow, consistent gaps between them. Your boxes are rotating if we look at visible plane of boxes, but back planes unfortunately are not rotating always. Nevertheless, you managed to draw all boxes required. Nice!

Organic Perspective. Good job. You have constructed boxes along the swoopy line and making the boxes that are closer – larger, boxes that are far away - smaller. And that was the aim of the exercise.

Overall, good starting point for darwabox journey.

Main suggestions for future:

• draw from the shoulder and take care of each line you draw,

• do exercises from this lesson as your warm-ups about 10-15 minutes before each drawing session.
