Good morning, i am Paradosso and i will be critiquing your work today! Congrats for sticking through all lesson 1 :), now onto the homework:

  • SUPERIMPOSED LINES: a solid page. There's fraying on one side so you took your time to position your pen, very good. Some of the longer lines and the curved ones tend to be a bit arched but with warmups you'll build up more confidence and use your shoulder to the best :)

  • GHOSTED LINES/PLANES: i can see you are hitting level 2 consistently. Some of the lines are a bit wobbly so you may be either using your elbow for lines that require the shoulder pivot or prioritizing accuracy over smoothness. That being said looking at your 2nd page of ghosted planes i can see a big jump in confidence and smoothness so you are on the right track.

  • ELLIPSES IN PLANES: smooth lines, draw over 2 times and prioritized confidence over accuracy, a solid page. Don't worry about overshooting/undershooting, that gets ironed out with practice.

  • TABLE OF ELLIPSES/ FUNNELS: both are drawn pretty confidently and i can see you've put lots of effort in making them snuggle together (ellipses on the bottom right of the table of ellipses are the only ones that don't but it's an isolated case so nothing alarming). You have also tried aligning the ellipses to the minor axis of the funnel so you are definitely on the right direction.

  • PLOTTED PERSPECTIVE: nothing to say here, everything seems in order.

  • ROUGH PERSPECTIVE: The lines of your boxes run perpendicular to the horizon line which means you made no random guesses which is very good, you are working on 1 point perspective and your line extensions are correct. Only thing I'd watch out for is your ghosting, the lines are pretty shaky so make sure to do lots of warmups to knock that rust off :).

  • ROTATED BOXES: given the difficulty of this exercise i'd say that you made a solid attempt. A few heads up though

1) some of the boxes do not rotate (look at the middle bottom row)

2) some of the faces on the ground are also pretty flat (for example the ones on the vertical line)

P.S.:When you decide to tackle this exercise as a warmup you could add some hatching lines between the boxes.

  • ORGANIC PERSPECTIVE: overall a good page. Your ghosting in this exercise has dramatically improved and i can see you are way more confidet. The boxes are well constructed but the sizes are almost all the same, when you tackle this as warmup don't be afraid to play with sizes, draw smaller boxes the further they go and bigger when they get closer to the viewer. Also as an extra challenge, you can try drawing the back corner and add some hatching lines.

FINAL THOUGHTS: you have done a good job and can now move to the 250 box challenge, happy holidays :)
