Hello there congrats on finishing lesson one

Lines

The superimposed lines look confident, Ghosted lines are nice and confident also really straight. The lines of the ghosted planes are also good.

Ellipses

Ellipses look nice and confident, Many do not seem drawn through though. You should draw through all ellipses a minimum and reccomended twice and a maximum thrice.

In the table of ellipses,I see some gaps between some of the ellispes, ellipses should be touching. They should also touch the table walls or bounds.

In the funnels the ellipses should touch the arcs of the funnels as you can see below

Boxes

Plotted perspective looks good, Consider adding lineweight were boxes overlap

I think you can see it in the image below

In the rough perspective exercise the vertical lines of the boxes are perpendicular to the horizon and the horizontal lines of the boxes are parallel to the horizon. The initial faces should be orientated the following image.

Foe the rotated boxes, I will say scale it up, draw the boxes bigger.

The boxes are not rotating, they should look like the below image

Yours look more like the one below

https://d15v304a6xpq4b.cloudfront.net/lesson_images/d73eea49.jpg

I will say look at the lesson again to see how to achieve this rotation , revisit the lesson.

Organic perspective looks okay, consider adding lineweight where boxes overlap.

I will ask for revision

1 page rough perspective

1 page rotated boxes

Next Steps:

1 page rough perspective

1 page rotated boxes

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

Below this point is mostly ads. Indie projects, and tool/course recommendations from us.

This section is reserved for low-cost advertising space for art related indie projects.
With how saturated the market is, it is tough for such projects to get eyes on their work.
By providing this section, we hope to help with that.

If you'd like to advertise here, you can do so through comicad.net

The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something we've used ourselves, or know to be of impeccable quality. If you're interested, here is a full list.

Printer Paper

Where the rest of my recommendations tend to be for specific products, this one is a little more general. It's about printer paper.

As discussed in Lesson 0, printer paper (A4 or 8.5"x11") is what we recommend. It's well suited to the kind of tools we're using, and the nature of the work we're doing (in terms of size). But a lot of students still feel driven to sketchbooks, either by a desire to feel more like an artist, or to be able to compile their work as they go through the course.

Neither is a good enough reason to use something that is going to more expensive, more complex in terms of finding the right kind for the tools we're using, more stress-inducing (in terms of not wanting to "ruin" a sketchbook - we make a lot of mistakes throughout the work in this course), and more likely to keep you from developing the habits we try to instill in our students (like rotating the page to find a comfortable angle of approach).

Whether you grab the ream of printer paper linked here, a different brand, or pick one up from a store near you - do yourself a favour and don't make things even more difficult for you. And if you want to compile your work, you can always keep it in a folder, and even have it bound into a book when you're done.
