Welcome to drawabox, and congrats on completing Lesson 1. I’ll be taking a look at it for you.

To start off, your superimposed lines look great. They’re smooth, properly lined up at the start, and of a consistent trajectory. The ghosted lines/planes look quite solid, too. The former seem a little rushed (though likely all it is is that you drew a little faster than you needed to, in an effort to not have them wobble), but this is all fixed by the time you reach the planes. That said, it seems like you’ve not plotted start/end points for the non-diagonal center lines of the planes, and in some cases, forgotten about entire lines altogether (recall that each plane has 8 lines – 4 inner, 4 outer).

The table of ellipses exercise looks fairly good. I do fear that you might be using your wrist at some points, however, without meaning to. Specifically, the sharp turns at the top/bottom of each ellipse. Notice how sharp they are, as if you’re flicking your wrist? This is not uncommon, of course, but do try to be a little but more conscious of the movement of your arm, for that particular part. There’s the occasional insecurity in your ellipses in planes (so I’ll recommend not stressing as much about whether they properly touch all 4 sides of them – it’s okay for them not to!), but, more often than not, they look good. I’ll recommend sticking to 2 rotations here, however; it’ll be easier to see your mistakes, like that. Finally, the funnels are nicely one. Your ellipses here are snug, and properly cut in half by their respective axes.

The plotted perspective exercise looks clean.

The rough perspective exercise, too, starts off strong, and shows some solid improvement throughout the set. That said, while the convergences look good, the linework is a different story. This is mostly the fault of your automatic reinforcing habit, however – this is to say, of you redrawing a line that’s come out wrong. Remind yourself that each line is to be drawn once, and only once, regardless of how it turns out.

Save for that (and some rushed hatching lines – recall that these are also to be drawn from the shoulder, or not at all), the rotated boxes exercise looks good. There’s the occasional issue with the spacing, or rotation of the boxes, sure, but this is something we expect, and address in the box challenge – just make sure that your linework is up to par when you get there, so as to not embed any errors.

The organic perspective exercise looks good. It seems like your lines will sometimes stop short, and you’ll extend them in a different stroke (not something we encourage), but, beyond that, your boxes are well constructed, and they flow quite well, too, as a result of their size, and foreshortening.
