Hi!

Nice job on completing lesson 1! Let's see how you're doing:

Superimposed Lines:

• You have good consistency, you're starting at the same spot every time, and stopping within a pretty good margin. Only issue you seem to have is getting maintain that line confidence, typically with the longer length strokes. You always seem to curve the same way, which leads me to believe you're using unconciously using your elbow vice the shoulder. This is completely natural (It's why this lesson exists), but just do your best to conciously think about locking your wrist/shoulder in place and it'll become second-nature in no time!

Ghosted Lines:

• Line confidence is looking pretty solid here, and accuracy is pretty good too. Occasionally I can see you curving towards the end goal at the last second, which implies you prioritized accuracy over confidence, but there are pretty few cases of those. Just do you're best to keep those lines straight, the accuracy will come with time/practice.

Ghosted Planes:

• Pretty similar situation to the ghosted lines exercise; Lines are straight for the most part, with few cases of curvature. I'm actually glad to see that your overshooting target, because that implies your prioritizing the confidence of the line over possibly slowing down to a wobbly halt (An issue I deal with a lot), so kudos there!

Tables of Ellipses:

• Looking pretty good! You're making good use of the space given, and your ellipses themselves are fit pretty nice and tight. I can see that drawing through the ellipses is working, as you're second go-around always makes the ellipse better than it was before. Only recommendation I have here is that you should try more variation with ellipses; Make some wider/narrower, others smaller/larger. It makes for great practice, and can help you much more than you'd think!

Ellipses in Planes:

• Good consistency, and your correcting each ellipse as you draw through them, which shows good progress. I can see that drawing larger ellipses seems to be a weaker area, since they aren't as tightly fit and have larger corrections as you draw through them. Don't worry about it (I was way worse with these at this stage), just practice the recommendation I made above and you should see quick improvement.

Funnels:

• Like the last exercise, drawing through the ellipses is definitely helping. Just need to keep up the hard work so you can fit those ellipses together with little-to-no overlap. If you haven't, you could consider changing the pace at which you draw the ellipse, so that you can gain more control (But remember: never sacrifice confidence for accuracy!)

Plotted Perspective:

• Not too much to say here, consider we use a straight edge for the entire exercise. Only advice I have is to save this page so you can always use it as a reference, since you'll be drawing many, many more boxes...

Rough Perspective:

• you actually have a pretty good eye for perspective! Most of your lines are lining up within an acceptable margin from the vanishing points. Only advice I have is to ensure your using the ghosting method often to trace those lines back to the vanishing points, and to keep that line confidence up!

Rotated Boxes:

• Wow, you did really good. You clearly used all the lines you made as a reference/guide to make the next box, and kept your sense of perspective really consistent (It even looks symmetrical!). Only struggle I see is keeping the back of the boxes consistent with the front, but that issue will clear itself when you take on the 250 box exercise. Just keep in mind the mistakes that you were making, and that you can always use nearby lines as a guide for what your gonna draw next!

Organic Perspective:

• Perspective is looking good. It looks like your line confidence wavered a bit when trying to make your boxes, which ended up in some curving. This can be an issue since the curving distorts the box in a way to where its difficult to tell where the vanishing point is (Which is a good reason to always prioritize confidence!). So keep that in mind while moving on, and everything should be just fine!

Superimposed Lines :

• no fraying at the starting point for short lines but the longer ones , u got some fraying on page 1 and 2

• The curving lines will improve over practice , try to draw from your shoulder and take your time and be confident when doing so

ghosted lines :

-no wobbly lines but doesn't quite pass through A or B , you're on level 1

-sometimes i see curvy lines so that needs more practise (drawing from your shoulder) , so your mind will get the habit of drawing straight lines

• i suggest practising on those lines before doing this exercice , i also do that , it's like warming up , not only on this exercice but before drawing anything

ghosted planes :

• take your time on ghosting line by line , draw a line by line and don't care on getting a perfect plane , also try to rotate the page , i feel like you're drawing every line very fast

Tables of elipses :

• try to ghost your elipse before drawing it , by that , the elipse will come as you want it , when ghosting , you control the shape of the elipse and the place of the elipse (its edges) , but overall not so many mistakes

elipses in planes :

• i don't see you on some of your elipses maintaining the smoothing even shape of the form , i think you care more on fitting it snugly within the plane, touching all four edges , that comes on second , again the ghosting method helps get the smooth form and at the same time fitting it withing the plane

funnels :

-Do your best to keep your ellipses snugly within the funnel shape

-Keep your ellipses snugly against one another - don't leave large spaces between them

-You want to make sure that the minor axis cuts each ellipse into two equal, symmetrical halves, down their narrower dimension

Plotted perspective :

-there's some lines you forget to draw to their vanishing points

rough perspective :

• it's normal that you have wrong estimations on getting the converging lines to their vanishing points , by practise , u will get better , but i advice you to work more on straight lines and to making them parallel to each other

  Rotated Boxes :

  overall is good but u need to work more on your lines

  Organic Perspective :

  • you need to understand more in perspective cause i feel like you're putting your lines randomly without understanding the basis of perspective , if you are drawing a box on 3 pts perspective , we have 3 sets on lines , each line should go to a certain vanishing point , i am sure u will get it by time , and your estimation of placing these lines will get better by doing the 250 box challenge
