Lines

Super Imposed Lines: These are off to a decent start. Most of them flow smoothly and confidently, with just a few wobbly passes here and there. Most of your fraying is located at the far end, which is good, but you can eliminate fraying at the starting dot by placing your pen down more carefully each time.

Ghosted Lines: Good work! It looks like you understand the principles of this exercise. Most of your lines are looking fairly smooth and straight. It doesn't matter if you miss the second dot slightly, as long as you commit to your mark and execute it with confidence. There are a few lines where it looks like you slowed down and hesitated a little, but I think on the whole you''ve got the right idea.

Ghosted Planes: Good effort. These are mostly looking good, but there are some places where it looks like you were making "course corrections" as you drew a line, in an effort to hit that second dot. Throughout this course please prioritize confidence over accuracy. A smooth straight line that misses the second dot slightly is much more useful to us than a slow-laborious-wobbly line that goes through both points. You can ghost as many times as you need to, to build up temporary muscle memory for that stroke, but once your pen hits the paper you have to let your arm do its job and not make any additional corrections as you go.

Ellipses

Tables of Ellipses: Good job drawing through these, and keeping the ellipses within the bounds, each ellipse touching each other, without overlapping. The majority of them look smooth and confident to me too, well done.

Ellipses in Planes: Good job, as the previous exercise.

Ellipses in Funnels: Really good effort here too. Some of your ellipses aren't quite being cut evenly into two symmetrical halves by the minor axis (the long line down the middle of the funnels) but they are drawn confidently, touching eachother and the sides of the funnel, without overlapping. Good job.

Boxes

Plotted Perspective: Excellent, well done.

Rough Perspective: I had to sleuth through Discord to find your old post and check you really did extend your lines to the horizon to check your convergences. Thought I was taking crazy pills for a hot minute. Good work. You've done a good job of planning your lines by placing dots, and have kept your horizontal lines parallel to the horizon line and your vertical lines perpendicular to it, well done. In this exercise you start to repeat lines. As we discussed on Discord regarding your Organic perpective, you want to aim to break this habit and resist the temptation to correct your lines.

Rotated Boxes: This is great. Well done keeping the gaps between your boxes small and consistent, and achieving pretty good rotation. Just the same comments on some of your lines being a touch hesistant, and repeating some of them.

Organic Perspective: (this is just copy pasted from my Discord post)

You've done a good job of using the size of your boxes to give a sense of depth within each frame I can see you making an attempt to draw your boxes from different angles as they move through space, this is tricky, and you'll get plenty of practice with it in the 250 box challenge, you're not expected to ace it right away.

I can see you were placing dots to plan your lines and using the ghosting method, good work.

You have a mixture of smooth, straight, confident lines, and some others that have a wobble. The wobble can happen for a variety of reasons. Perhaps you were too focused on hitting the second dot, and slowed down to make course corrections, perhaps you didn't take the time to ghost that particular line enough, perhaps you were using your wrist? But you clearly demonstrate that you can draw a good line, it's a matter of analyzing what you do to make a line go well, and do that most of the time (we aim for all the time, but mistakes will happen)

Sometimes you repeat or redo a line in an attempt to correct it. Don't do this. Simply leave the line as if it were correct and move on. Attempting to redo it will only serve to highlight the mistake and make your drawing messy and confusing.

Conclusion Congratulations on completing lesson 1! You have a few things to think about, most notably executing your lines with confidence and not attempting to correct them, BUT I think you have a good grasp of the concepts of this lesson and will get plenty of practice with your mark making as you tackle the 250 box challenge, which is next.

Don't forget to practice the lesson 1 exercises as warm ups. Standard advice is to pick 2-3 exercises to practice for a total of 10-15 minutes at the start of each session.

Good luck, and don't forget to draw for fun too!
