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 decently. I'm still seeing some wobble in your lines on your ghosted lines exercise. https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/10/wobbling The ghosted planes are showing some nice improvements though. 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 are missing two pages of the table of ellipses homework. I'm guessing that you completed it but just forgot to upload it to this album. I'm still going to need to see those before I can mark this as complete. Your ellipses in planes turned out well. It's great that you aren't overly concerned with accuracy and are instead focused on getting smooth ellipse shapes and that you are drawing through your ellipses. 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. Your ellipses in funnels are having some issues with tilting off the minor axis. https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/13/notaligned This is something you should always start considering when drawing your ellipses. One thing you could have done with these is start with a narrower degree ellipse in the center and then widen the degrees of the ellipses as they move outwards in the funnel. Please check the example here. https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/13/step3

The plotted perspective looks fine although I did see you slightly messed up the third exercise but I still think you understand what you need to about this exercise. Your rough perspective exercises turned out okay although you are missing a page of homework here as well. You are getting a mix of confident linework here along with some wobble creeping back into some of your lines. https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/9/wobbling This is probably happening because you are more concerned with accuracy now that you are constructing boxes and you are slowing down your stroke to compensate. 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. The biggest problem here is that you didn't extend your depth lines back to check your work which is part of the homework instructions. https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/16/step6 Another 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. So as a revision I'd like you to do one more page of the rough perspective boxes and make sure you extend your depth lines on your boxes to check your work.

Your rotated box exercise is frankly unfinished. I understand that this is a hard exercise but I would like you to give this another shot and try and finish it to the best of your ability. My biggest tip here would simply be to draw this exercise bigger. Drawing bigger really helps when dealing with complex spatial problems. You did a good job drawing through your boxes and keeping your gaps narrow and consistent but I would like you to give this exercise another shot and try and finish it this time. Learning to live with and learn from undesirable results is a big part of learning to draw or learning any new skill for that matter. Your organic perspective exercises are looking pretty good but once again you are missing a page of this homework. You seem to be getting comfortable using the ghosting method and drawing from your shoulder for confident linework which is great. Some of your box constructions are decent but there are some wonky ones here and there so the 250 box challenge will be a great next step for you.

Overall this was a pretty good submission but you are missing quite a few homework pages. I'm not sure if it's just a case of not remembering to upload them to this album or because you didn't do them but I'm going to need to see the rest before I can mark this as complete. From what I've seen of your ellipses they are coming along well and your line confidence was also getting better as you worked through these exercises. My other recommendation would be to slow down and make sure to read the homework instructions a bit more carefully for each exercise as you missed key components of some exercises like not extending the depth lines on your rough perspective boxes to check your work.

Im proud of you for completing lesson 1!!! :D For you id say is to practice alot of the things learned in the first part of the chapter (ghosting and overall line confidence) It def takes some milelage. as for the rest of it, some exersizes such as the rough perspective, rotated boxes, plotted perspective might need to be redone and the lessons revisted.
