Hey!
Good job on completing lesson one!
Your lines are getting better and better, but remember to keep practising confidence in your strokes, because you often end up with wobbly lines. Remember: smoothness above accuracy. Keep trying drawing them with your shoulder and avoid using your wrist.
Ellipses start off wobbly and a little hesistant, but they improved a lot, too, during the funnels where they mostly align with the minor axis. But remember to alwayt draw through your ellipse 2-3 times, because sometimes you lose control about that and you draw them only one time (but I saw that only in tables of ellipses and ellipses in planes exercises, the further the better, good job!).
I think you should pay more attention to your ellipses in planes - read that part again carefully, and don't forget about that mistake. Your ellipses mostly touches only two of four sides of planes. The purpose of this exercise is to make them touch every line that you made earlier.
In your rough perspective most of your lines are really good. Generally, the horizontal lines are parallel to the horizon and vertical lines are perpendicular to it. Of course they sometimes it happens that they are little off, but overall your convergences towards the horizon are not too bad.
Organic perspective: overall, good job. Try to go a little more wild with your boxes angles, because many of your boxes seems to be drawn from one particular angle or very limited amount of them. If you struggle with thinking about the initial "Y" shape, you can use this tool from our community member, Ericna. But remember to not overuse it, try to figure out your "Y" shapes by yourself after getting comfortable with 3D space! Experiment with depth, width and height of your box, it doesn't have to be a cube every time. Good job about playing with size of them - they get smaller when they are moving away from the viewer. You have some difficulties with overall perspective, but it's ok at this moment! I can tell you that you will be getting better and better during 250 box challange.
Congratulations on completing lesson 1!
Next Steps:
I would recommend redoing ellipses in planes exercise before moving into 250 box challange, but overall i think you can feel free about it. Also, continue doing these exercises as a part of your warm ups.
