Hello and congrats on completing lesson one. My name is Rob and I'm a teaching assistant for Drawabox who will be handling your lesson one critique. Starting with your superimposed lines these are off to a fine start. You are keeping a clearly defined starting point with all of your wavering at the opposite end. Your ghosted lines and planes turned out well. You are using the ghosting method to good effect to get confident linework with a pretty decent deal of accuracy that will get better and better with practice.

Your tables of ellipses are coming along pretty good. You are doing a good job drawing through your ellipses and focusing on consistent smooth ellipse shapes. This is carried over nicely into your ellipses in planes. It's great that you aren't overly concerned with accuracy and are instead focused on getting smooth ellipse shapes. Although accuracy is our end goal it can't really be forced and tends to come with mileage and consistent practice more than anything else. Your ellipses in funnels page is missing and I'm going to need to see that before marking this lesson as complete. Your ellipses are off to a great start but there's still room for improvement when it comes to accuracy so keep practicing them during your warmups.

The plotted perspective looks great, nothing to mention here. Your rough perspectives turned out pretty good. It's great that you are keeping up with the confident linework on these. I do want to address the squiggles you are using in the place of hatching to show the front plane of the box. Every line you put down for these lessons should be intentional and should never just be scribbled onto the page. So if you want to hatch the front of the box just add hatching marks the same as every other line you would put down. Ghost it multiple times and then draw from your shoulder with confidence. You want to get out of the habit of just scribbling lines. You are also doing a good job extending the lines back on your boxes to check your work. As you can see some of your perspective estimations were quite off but that will become more intuitive with practice. One thing that can help you a bit when doing a one point perspective exercise like this is to realize that all of your horizontal lines should be parallel to the horizon line and all of your verticals should be straight up and down. This will help you avoid some of the slanting lines you have in your constructions.

Your rotated box exercise was a bit of a struggle. I think one thing that really would have helped you here would have to just draw this a bit bigger. Drawing bigger really helps when dealing with complex spatial problems and would have given you enough space to properly finish this exercise. You did a good job drawing through your boxes and keeping your gaps narrow and consistent but I think because you drew this so small you sort of panicked and ran out of space to finish drawing the corners for this. You are running into a pretty common issue of not actually rotating your boxes in some cases but instead simply drawing them moving back in perspective. https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/16/notrotating Since the corners weren't really addressed for this exercise I'd like you to try this one more time and draw it a bit bigger overall so you will have space to finish the corners. Your organic perspective exercises are looking pretty good. You seem to be getting comfortable using the ghosting method and drawing from your shoulder for confident linework which is great. I am noticing that you are redrawing lines on occasion and this is a habit you should try and get out of. Try and stick with the initial line you put down even if it's a bit off. Adding more lines just makes things messier and harder to read. Your box constructions are decent for the most part but there are some wonky ones here and there so the 250 box challenge will be a great next step for you.

Overall this was a pretty solid submission. I'm still going to need to see that page of ellipses in funnels and your revised page of the rotated box exercise before marking this complete and you can then move on to the 250 box challenge.
