Hi there! Congrats on finishing lesson 1! You're one step further to learning your fundamentals, good job! Regarding your actual work, you actually did a good job, you understood what you were asked and did them to the best of your ability. But even then you do have things you have an opportunity to work on:
Lines: A slight arch in your lines as noticed in the Ghosted Lines exercise, try to not worry so much about hitting the endpoint so accurately even if you miss it, what's more important is having confident strokes in your lines without hesitation. You'll get better accuracy over time. If you aren't worried about hitting the dot then you could try slightly arching your strokes in the oppisite direction consciously, as mentioned here. Some planes do tend to made of wobbly lines,but despite that you're already confidently executing most of your lines nicely without much wobble present, so nice job on that front.
Ellipses: Some ellipses were noticed going slightly out of bounds on the edges of the Table of Ellipses homework, and certain funnels had their minor axes skewing slightly to the side. Try and keep the minor axis in the middle of the ellipses so that it cuts them into two symmetrical halves as much as you can.
Boxes: The top left quadrant of the Rotated Boxes exercise starts to lose the tight gap between the boxes and rotates them aimlessly. Try not to rush your assignments and take your time to do them the best of your ability even if you notice you're reaching the end. However long you need to think is enough time when it comes to these assignments. Also you did one extra set of boxes on both the vertical and horizontal ends of the Rotated Boxes, when you're asked to do just 2 as mentioned here.
Next Steps:
Move onto lesson 2, you seem to have enough understanding of perspective and spacing to get along fine, but if you feel you need extra practice before lesson 2 then the 250 Box Challenge is a good detour to try but you're not required to, have fun!
The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
Drawabox-Tested Fineliners (Pack of 10, $17.50 USD)
Let's be real here for a second: fineliners can get pricey. It varies from brand to brand, store to store, and country to country, but good fineliners like the Staedtler Pigment Liner (my personal brand favourite) can cost an arm and a leg. I remember finding them being sold individually at a Michael's for $4-$5 each. That's highway robbery right there.
Now, we're not a big company ourselves or anything, but we have been in a position to periodically import large batches of pens that we've sourced ourselves - using the wholesale route to keep costs down, and then to split the savings between getting pens to you for cheaper, and setting some aside to one day produce our own.
These pens are each hand-tested (on a little card we include in the package) to avoid sending out any duds (another problem with pens sold in stores). We also checked out a handful of different options before settling on this supplier - mainly looking for pens that were as close to the Staedtler Pigment Liner. If I'm being honest, I think these might even perform a little better, at least for our use case in this course.
We've also tested their longevity. We've found that if we're reasonably gentle with them, we can get through all of Lesson 1, and halfway through the box challenge. We actually had ScyllaStew test them while recording realtime videos of her working through the lesson work, which you can check out here, along with a variety of reviews of other brands.
Now, I will say this - we're only really in a position to make this an attractive offer for those in the continental United States (where we can offer shipping for free). We do ship internationally, but between the shipping prices and shipping times, it's probably not the best offer you can find - though this may depend. We also straight up can't ship to the UK, thanks to some fairly new restrictions they've put into place relating to their Brexit transition. I know that's a bummer - I'm Canadian myself - but hopefully one day we can expand things more meaningfully to the rest of the world.
