Hello and congrats on completing lesson one. My name is Rob and I'm a teaching assistant for Drawabox who will be handling your lesson one critique. Starting with your superimposed lines these are off to a fine start. You are keeping a clearly defined starting point with all of your wavering at the opposite end. Your ghosted lines and planes turned out well. You are using the ghosting method to good effect to get confident linework with a pretty decent deal of accuracy that will get better and better with practice.

Your tables of ellipses are coming along pretty good. You are doing a good job drawing through your ellipses for the most part. I am seeing a few spots where didn't draw through your ellipses so I'm just putting this here as a reminder. https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/12/drawingthrough You need to be drawing through every single ellipse you draw for all of these lessons without exception. Even if you feel like you nailed it the first time through. You did well with focusing on consistent smooth ellipse shapes. The ellipses in planes are showing a little bit of line wobble likely because you are starting to get a little too wrapped up in accuracy and are slowing down your stroke to compensate which is causing the wobble. Although accuracy is our end goal it can't really be forced and tends to come with mileage and consistent practice more than anything else and instead you should really be focusing on a consistent smooth ellipse shape. Your ellipses in funnels are showing solid improvement in this regard. I'm not seeing any real issues here. Your ellipses are off to a great start but there's still room for improvement when it comes to accuracy so keep practicing them during your warmups.

The plotted perspective looks great although you didn't follow directions for the middle but it's fine I can see you were experimenting. Your rough perspective exercises turned out pretty good. It's great that you are keeping up with the confident linework on these. I am noticing that you are redrawing lines on occasion and this is a habit you should try and get out of. Try and stick with the initial line you put down even if it's a bit off. Adding more lines just makes things messier and harder to read. You are also doing a good job extending the lines back on your boxes to check your work. As you can see some of your perspective estimations were quite off but that will become more intuitive with practice. One thing that can help you a bit when doing a one point perspective exercise like this is to realize that all of your horizontal lines should be parallel to the horizon line and all of your verticals should be perpendicular(straight up and down in this case) to the horizon line. This will help you avoid some of the slanting lines you have in your constructions.

Your rotated box exercise was done in pencil and all homework assignements need to be submitted in ink. So unfortunately I need ask for a revision on this one. I like that you drew this nice and big as that really helps when dealing with complex spatial problems. You also did a good job drawing through your boxes and keeping your gaps narrow and consistent. You are running into a pretty common issue of not actually rotating your boxes in some cases but instead simply drawing them moving back in perspective. https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/17/notrotating Your organic perspective exercises are looking pretty good. You seem to be getting more comfortable using the ghosting method and drawing from your shoulder for confident linework which is great. However you are at times destroying this initally confident linework but either redrawing lines or adding line weight. I can't be sure of this but you also appear to be using a marker to add lineweight which is once again completely hiding the original line you put down. If you want to add line weight that's fine but it needs to be much more subtle and don't switch to something with a larger tip. Also don't add line weight with your wrist which you also appear to be doing which is again causing line wobble. Treat it the same as any other line you would draw and ghost it multiple times and draw from your shoulder with confidence. Your box constructions are quite solid for the most part and you seem well prepared for the 250 box challenge in this regard.

Overall this was a pretty good submission that showed a good deal of growth. Your ellipses got quite a bit better as you worked through these exercises but your line confidence and quality took a dive during the last exercise largely because you were redrawing lines and lot and adding extremely thick line weight everywhere. So I need to see those revisions and also see that you can construct boxes with confident linework before you move on to the 250 box challenge.
