Hello and congrats on completing the lesson. I'll be looking at your homework submission. Starting with your superimposed lines these are off to a decent start. You are keeping a clear starting point on these but I'm noticing a lot of wobble almost immediately after though. This leads me to believe that you probably aren't drawing from the shoulder and or putting down your line quickly enough. Moving onto your ghosted lines and planes I am noticing quite a bit of wobble and a sort of complete disregard for accuracy. One of the real goals of the early lessons regarding line is to separate the thinking process from the actual markmaking process and the best way to achieve that is with the ghosting method. Take a look at the lesson notes here regarding wobbling. https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/9/wobbling Although I think you might want to give the entire section on ghosted lines another look through. I am also noticing that the accuracy on your ghosted planes needs a lot of work as well. You tend to overshoot your lines quite a bit and while accuracy isn't our number one priority right now (smooth confident markmaking is) we still want to strive for it. The lesson notes here might help you with your overshooting problem. https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/9/lifthand Another thing you really want to make sure you are doing is drawing with your shoulder for almost all of the lines and ellipses you make during these exercises as drawing from the wrist tends to create more wobble problems.

Your table of ellipses are a decent start although the second page feels very rushed compared to the first. One thing you will need to develop while learning to draw is a lot of patience. You did a good job drawing through most of your ellipses although I am noticing a few where you didn't do so. While you are working through lessons you want to draw through EVERY SINGLE ELLIPSE you draw for these exercises. Even if you feel like you got it right the first attempt you still want to draw through. One of the reasons that your second page looks so rushed is that you didn't really attempt much accuracy at all when trying to put these ellipses into the spaces that you drew. https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/11/nogoal Your ellipses in planes also feel incredibly rushed through almost as if you didn't read the instructions on these. While maintaining a smooth ellipse shape is your priority and you are doing a decent job of that at times, you still want to try and shoot for some level of accuracy and at least attempt to have the ellipse touch all 4 sides of the plane. https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/12/floating Another reason this feels rushed is that you are still deforming some of your ellipses and you aren't even trying for accuracy either. https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/12/deformed Your ellipses in funnels are having a lot of the same issues that I described previously as well as having some issues with your ellipses tilting off the minor axis. https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/13/notaligned These also feel a bit rushed because you aren't keeping very conistent spacing between your ellipses. https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/13/spacing

Your plotted perspective looks good not seeing any issues here. Your rough perspective boxes feel extremely rushed as well. You skipped extending lines for a lot of your boxes here and for some you did extend them but you didn't do it correctly. https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/15/plottinglinesSome other things to think about when you are drawing boxes in one point perspective is that all of your horizontal lines should be perfectly parallel with the horizon line. On some of your boxes you have a HUGE amount of slanting in your horizontals which really comes down to poor point placement before drawing your lines. The reason you put down the points first is so that you don't commit to bad lines right away. Putting points down and then checking them in your head will allow you to make adjustments before putting down the line. You are having the same issues with your vertical lines on these as well. In one point perspective drawings like this the verticals should be straight up and down. I really think you need to give this entire homework section a read through again and also probably watch the video again.

So your rotated box exercise went pretty poorly which isn't out of the ordinary. Most newer students really struggle with this exercise as it's a big step up in the spatial thinking required. You did an okay job drawing through most of your boxes here but one of your real pitfalls with your handling of these boxes is that you really made no attempt to keeping your box gaps narrow and consistent. https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/16/guessing One of the things that helps you rotate boxes in your head is that you use your previous box as an anchor point and if you keep your gaps close and consistent you can constantly refer back to your previous box as a source of information. You also drew far too many boxes for this exercise and another thing that really helps with working through this is to draw less boxes overall and to simply draw them bigger to start with. Drawing bigger will help you think about the spatial problems you are facing much more easily. You organic boxes were another struggle which can be pretty normal. You are having a hard time thinking about box convergences which you will get a lot practice with during the 250 box challenge. But before you take on that challlenge I think you need to do some more pages to get some of these earlier concepts better understood before moving on.

So one thing I'm going to point out right away is that you probably aren't ghosting your lines enough and/or drawing from your shoulder. This has lead to a lot of your exercises looking very sloppy and rushed. Like I said learning to draw requires a lot of patience and you really need to work on developing that. I would actually advise reading through some of these lessons again and watching the videos particularly the ones on Lines, Ellipses, and Rough Perspective boxes. I'm not going to have you redo the Rotated Boxes or Organic Boxes again. You gave them a shot and that's what counts and you can come back to them once you develop your skills a bit more. I can't let you move onto the next section though until your markmaking starts appearing a bit less rushed overall. So please look over some of the lessons again and work on these revision pages and take your time with them. Also make sure you are warming with some of the more simple exercises like superimposed lines and ghosted lines before doing these exercises during your sessions.

If you are having problems with symbol drawingthen you really need to be drawing from observation and reference as much as possible and really focusing on drawing what you see. Not what you think you see. I'm not a huge fan of this book as most people tend to outgrow it quite quickly but Drawing From the Right Side of the Brain by Betty Edwards is a decent resource for learning about this and has some exercises you can try.
