Hi everyone, I'd like to apologize for using ballpoint for almost my homeworks, my country is still in lockdown so I had no chance to buy materials.

Thanks for your comprehension and I'm waiting for your advice.

Lines

Most of your lines look like they are draw confidently with one stroke.

The lines on the superimposed lines exercise seem to fray a lot, try to practice on smaller lines first and then move onto bigger ones.

Ellipses

The funnel ellipses are equally divided as well as within the bounds. The table of ellipses also look good.

In the ellipses in plane exercise you seem to concentrate more on the ellipse touching the edges than the shape of the ellipse. The shape of the ellipse should be the first priority. Aside from that everything seems fine.

Boxes

Your lines in organic perspective look confident but the ones in rough perspective seem wobbly and less confident. The rotated boxes also look finely rotated except for the wobbly lines in the back planes.

That is all I have for you

Next Steps:

I recommend you complete the 250 box challenge before moving onto lesson 2.

Thank you for your feed back, I'll practise more and go to the 250 box challenge.

Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.

Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
