Hey there, congrats on finishing the lesson! I'll be looking over your submission.
Starting with you lines, you seem to have done a pretty good job here. Although your lines get slightly wobbly and arced occasionally (mainly in the ghosted lines section), I can tell you were doing your best to prioritize confidence at all times. If you keep practicing using your shoulder and using the ghosting method, your lines are bound to get straighter and more accurate with time. One thing that I'd like to mention is the fact that you only did a couple of arced superimposed lines. Now I don't blame you for this, since trying to consistently draw the same curved line multiple times can be very difficult. However, practicing this part of the exercise will help you a lot in the future so I'd recommend adding this to your warmups.
Onto your ellipses, just like your lines, your work here seems generally well done! You continued to prioritize confidence which is way harder when in comes to ellipses. Even when you realized your ellipses weren't as big/small as they were supposed to be, you still didn't lose your focus. When we try to fix our mistakes halfway, we tend to end up with shapes that end up looking deformed which is why prioritizing confidence is so important. As you get more and more used to the ghosting method, you'll have a better idea of how every mark you're planning to put down will sit on the page so the fact that some of the ellipses weren't fully within their bounds isn't as important right now.
You weren't paying as much attention to the bounds of every ellipse in the funnels exercise but you seem to have realized that as well. You also have a couple of slightly misaligned ellipses in the funnels exercise but that's not a big deal for now.
Your perspective exercises look pretty solid! I'm sorry you had to redo the plotted perspective exercise though haha. Other than the slightly wobbly lines, the rough perspective exercise looks pretty good as well. You're missing the second page of the rough perspective exercise though.
Although the rotated boxes exercise was created to be challenging, you still managed to do a great job here!
Just like the rotated boxes exercise, you did a great job with the organic perspective as well! Your convergences and line quality generally seems pretty solid. You have a couple of diverging lines but you'll have a lot of time to work on that during the 250 boxes challenge.
Overall, you did great with this lesson, congratulations! I'm only going to ask for a page of the rough perspective exercise, just to make sure that you got everything this lesson has to offer.
Good luck!
Next Steps:
Upload a page of the rough perspective exercise.
Luckily I found the original one I did! I lost it and couldnt find it when I first posted! xD
Thank you so much for the critique!
You're welcome! I'm glad you found your plotted perspective page haha. You're still missing the second page of the rough perspective exercise though. If you take a look at your submission, you've uploaded the same image twice. I'm guessing you mistook the second page for the first one and reuploaded that one. I can't really mark the lesson as complete without that page so please post that one as well, thanks!
These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.
Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
