Hey there, I'm Meta and I'll be your TA today, so let's get started.

Lines

Starting with your superimposed lines, you're doing a great job lining your pen up with the starting point and executing your lines confidently. This confidence also carries over nicely to your ghosted lines and planes and overall a good effort on this section.

Ellipses

Onto your tables of ellipses and these are off to a great start. Your linework is confident for the most part - it was a little wobbly at the top of the first page but as you've progressed through the assigned work, you've figured out how to execute a bit more confidently. There is a good variety of shapes and sizes of ellipses, and you've kept them squeezed up tight against each other for the most part (notable exception being the bottom-right frames of both pages.

Next your ellipses in planes are looking good, you've made clear attempts to hit the four sides of the plane while remaining confident and not over-focusing on accuracy, which will improve with time and practice.

Your funnels are off to a good start, you're getting them tucked in there tightly and the alignment isn't too bad, particularly on the bottom left one. Your line confidence here isn't as good as previous exercises which might indicate a heightened focus on accuracy due to the increased demands of needing to align them. I find it helps with this exercise to rotate the page as much as you need to in order to get a comfy approach that aligns to the minor axis - even angles that don't seem like they'd work.

Boxes

A quick note on your plotted perspective - you may have noticed some of the back lines of your boxes are not vertical - this can happen when there's slight inaccuracies in the lines used to plot the front of the box not going back to the exact vanishing point drawn. Something to keep in mind, as you will encounter this again.

Onto your rough perspective and you've made fairly successful efforts to keep the horizontals parallel and verticals perpendicular to the horizon line. You've correctly applied the line extensions, though it would be better to stop at the horizon line as this is easier for us to read. The line confidence here is not as good as seen previously in the lesson but this is pretty normal as many students get a bit overwhelmed when we ask them to draw boxes for the first time. One step at time, planned and ghosted with care, then executed with confidence.

Your rotated boxes are off to a good start - you're keeping the gaps between the boxes tight and consistent, which has given you good cues about where to place the next one. You didn't manage to capture the full range of rotation, tending to follow the vanishing point of the box you previously put down, however this exercise is intended only as an introduction to certain concepts you will explore further throughout the course.

Finally, you're getting a good amount of variation in the size and rotation of your boxes in the organic perspective exercise which is starting to create a sense of depth in each frame, don't be afraid to lean into overlapping the boxes closest to the viewer to really sell that sense of depth. The boxes themselves are diverging a bit in places, however like the previous exercise, this one is simply an introduction to the concepts you'll explore in depth in the 250 box challenge.
