Nice work on Lesson 1! You have strong line work, but need more size variation and overlap.
Lines
They have the correct trajectory and hit most of the marks they're supposed to hit.
Ellipses
The ellipses fit snugly in the planes. Only a few miss the edges. The table of ellipses is fine and so are the funnels. For the most part the ellipses are symmetrical. Just watch out for tapering on the ends.
Boxes
These forms are clean with smooth lines. The boxes in the rough perspective have the correct line method. They are virtually the same size however, with little variation. There isn't any overlap either. The rotated boxes have the right perspective/alignment. The organic perspective also looks good expect for the fact many of the forms in the back are small. Variation in size will enhance your draftmanship.
Your progress so far looks promising; keep going!
Next Steps:
Do one page of the rough perspective with boxes of different sizes. Try to overlap a couple of them.
Hi! I agree with the review. Just wanted to add two things:
I see in the submission two pages of the Rotated Boxes exercise, when only one is assigned in the homework. While I think both are looking great, it is important to only do the exercises as many times as assigned, so as not to grind. These exercises are going to become part of your warm-ups, so there is no need to do them over and over at this point.
I agree that doing one more page of the rough perspective with boxes of different sizes may be worthwhile, but I do not think the boxes should necessarily be overlapped. As long as you make them bigger to take more space in the page, I think that is enough. Also, try to extend the lines until they reach the horizon, even if they go through the other boxes. That way, you can correctly use them to know by how much you missed the vanishing point.
Some of you may remember James Gurney's breathtaking work in the Dinotopia series. This is easily my favourite book on the topic of colour and light, and comes highly recommended by any artist worth their salt. While it speaks from the perspective of a traditional painter, the information in this book is invaluable for work in any medium.
