Hey there, good job on completing lesson 1.

Starting off with your super imposed lines, your lines are pretty frantic and have a lot of fraying going on. Remember that the focus of this exercise is about drawing confident lines with the shoulder and developing a good flow. Perfect execution is not required here, but confident smooth lines are what we are looking for. Keep practicing this exercise to find a good pace for yourself to keep your lines a little more grouped and smooth. Your ghosted lines are looking good, they are confident and very focused on flow over accuracy. On the other hand, your planes are getting sloppy again and it seems you neglected ghosting, so make sure to always ghost and use your shoulder.

Moving on to your ellipses, you show a lot of good growth here. Your ellipses in tables start off shaky and have a lot of variance, but by the time you get to funnels they tighten up a lot. With your ellipses in planes you are definitely showing you understand where the ellipse should make contact with the sides of the planes creating a snug fit, and while the drawing mechanics of it are a little shakier you do a pretty good job. With your ellipses in tables

you do a good job packing everything in tightly and leaving no room for ambiguity. Finally, regarding your ellipses in funnels you are doing a nice job keeping your minor axes aligned to the funnel axes.

With your rough perspective boxes the biggest thing I'm noticing is your tendency to redraw. One of the main reasons we use ink is to force us to be mindful of our marks and cause us to prepare until we are ready. So remember to use your shoulder, the ghosting method, and take as much time as needed to fully prepare. To your credit, you get better about this as you progress through the exercise. Your boxes are pretty well oriented in relation to the horizon by trying to keep your horizontal lines parallel to the horizon and your verticals perpendicular. Your converging lines are about at the state we expect for beginners and as you practice drawing towards far off points your accuracy will improve. Remember to take your time on these exercises, as a box has 12 lines, it may take you roughly 12 times as long to draw a box as a single line, and that is ok!

Moving on to your rotated boxes, you did a great job completing this exercise. Your kept your lines pretty neat for the most part, you rotated your boxes well, and you kept everything organized in the midst of the complexity. With your corner boxes, you would have had more success if you had adhered to the adjacent lines as perspective guides as explained here. In terms of packing though,you kept your boxes nice and tight. With this exercise our only goal for students is for them to complete the exercise to the best of their abilities so they can be introduced to new types of spatial problems and solution strategies, so job well done!

Finally, let's take a look at your organic perspective. I notice right off the bat that you are trying to apply line weight to clarify your forms with various levels of success. Your instincts are correct though, so good job! Remember that line weight application is just the practical version of the super imposed lines exercise (but now you know ghosting!) so keep practicing that exercise in your warm ups. Your boxes have a good variance in size from large to small to sell the illusion of depth and your forms overlap to further reinforce that. Your perspective is about where we expect for students - you have a decent amount of diverging lines which result in far planes being larger than near planes which is opposite of reality, but that is why we have the 250 box challenge.

With this, your lesson 1 will be marked as complete. Congratulations!
