Lesson 1: Lines, Ellipses and Boxes
8:04 AM, Friday July 1st 2022
Hi, I forgot to take a pic of the ghosted planes before putting on the ellipses. Took me about a month to finish, thanks!
Well done
-The ellipses are are little wobbly.
-Other than that i think you got the basics of exercise down.
Next Steps:
Go ahead woth 250 boxes

No problem here.
Lines
Superimposed lines look confidently drawn. Ghosted lines are also confident and look well ghosted, some have slight changes in trajectory, I would say add a bit more speed when drawing them.
Ellipses
Ellipses look nice and confident, overall great confidence in your ellipses. Do ghost all your ellipses (from the shoulder) where you want to drawn them in until confident with the motion, then draw the ellipse in with the same speed and confidence you are currently using. The ghosting will take care of accuracy to you can focus on smooth ellipses. I can see you struggled with narrower ellipses, keep at them you will improve. Approach them as the others, ghosting etc. I see one ellipse thats drawn through 4 times. Remember you should draw through ellipses, a maximum of thrice and minimum twice. https://d15v304a6xpq4b.cloudfront.net/lesson_images/a76a8906.jpg. You only have one So assume you know but I am mentioning it just in case.
In the table of ellipses, ellipses should be touching, I see a few gaps between ellipses in yours.
In the funnels too ellipses should be touching.
Overall your ellipses show great confidence, just remember to ghost them ans use the same confidence you are using now.
Boxes
Plotted perspective looks good.
Rough perspective looks good. I see you are plotting your lines good job here.
Good attempt at the rotated boxes, here I would say copy the video lesson line for line a few times.
Organic perspective looks good.
You can move on to the 250 box challenge :)
remember to warmup
Thanks, for the critique, I really appreciate it.
This recommendation is really just for those of you who've reached lesson 6 and onwards.
I haven't found the actual brand you buy to matter much, so you may want to shop around. This one is a "master" template, which will give you a broad range of ellipse degrees and sizes (this one ranges between 0.25 inches and 1.5 inches), and is a good place to start. You may end up finding that this range limits the kinds of ellipses you draw, forcing you to work within those bounds, but it may still be worth it as full sets of ellipse guides can run you quite a bit more, simply due to the sizes and degrees that need to be covered.
No matter which brand of ellipse guide you decide to pick up, make sure they have little markings for the minor axes.
