Hello and congrats on completing lesson one. My name is Rob and I'm a teaching assistant for Drawabox who will be handling your lesson one critique. Starting with your superimposed lines these are off to a fine start. You are keeping a clearly defined starting point with all of your wavering at the opposite end. Your ghosted lines and planes turned out well. You are using the ghosting method to good effect to get confident linework with a pretty decent deal of accuracy that will get better and better with practice.

Your tables of ellipses are coming along pretty good although please follow the formatting rules for homework assignments in the future as I see you've laid out some of the box exercises differently as well. They aren't really open for interpretation and are designed and laid out for specific reasons. While I'm not going to assign any revisions for this now you will be assigned revisions in future lessons for not following the formating rules for certain exercises. All that said you are doing a good job drawing through your ellipses and focusing on consistent smooth ellipse shapes. This is carried over nicely into your ellipses in planes. It's great that you aren't overly concerned with accuracy and are instead focused on getting smooth ellipse shapes. Although accuracy is our end goal it can't really be forced and tends to come with mileage and consistent practice more than anything else. Your ellipses in funnels are having some slight issues with tilting off the minor axis. https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/14/notaligned This is something you should always start considering when drawing your ellipses. One thing you could have done with these is start with a narrower degree ellipse in the center and then widen the degrees of the ellipses as they move outwards in the funnel. Please check the example here. https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/14/step3 This helps with practicing different degrees of ellipses. Your ellipses are off to a great start but there's still room for improvement when it comes to accuracy so keep practicing them during your warmups.

The plotted perspective looks great, nothing to mention here. Your rough perspective exercises turned out pretty good. You are getting mostly confident linework here along with a slight bit wobble creeping back into some of your lines. https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/9/wobbling This is probably happening because you are more concerned with accuracy now that you are constructing boxes and you are slowing down your stroke to compensate. While you did extend the lines back on your boxes you didn't follow the directions and instead extended the corners back to the vanishing point. https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/16/step6 As the instructions state you were supposed to extend the depth lines back to the horizon lines. This way gives you a much more concrete idea of how far you estimations were off compares to the way you did it. Also you didn't extend the lines back on half of the exercises on the first page for some reason. One thing that can help you a bit when doing a one point perspective exercise like this is to realize that all of your horizontal lines should be parallel to the horizon line and all of your verticals should be perpendicular(straight up and down in this case) to the horizon line. This will help you avoid some of the slanting lines you have in your constructions.

Your rotated box exercise turned out decently. I like that you drew this nice and big as that really helps when dealing with complex spatial problems. You also did a good job drawing through your boxes and keeping your gaps narrow and consistent. Your added line here is starting to become a bit of an issue. First off added line weight should be subtle and that means you really shouldn't go over a line more than once. Doing it multiple times like just ends up making the picture messier and harder to read. Secondly, it seems as though you are reverting back to using your wrist some times while adding lineweight which is introducing more wobble into your linework. While the rotations here are a bit slight overall this was a pretty good effort for the most part. This is a great exercise to come back to after a few lessons to see how much your spatial thinking ability has improved. Your organic perspective exercises are looking pretty good. You seem to be getting comfortable using the ghosting method and drawing from your shoulder for confident linework which is great. That said the added line weight and redrawing lines is still a bit of an issue. Try and get more used to just putting down a single confident line and sticking with it. Your box constructions are decent for the most part but there are some wonky ones here and there so the 250 box challenge will be a great next step for you in developing a better understanding of how box lines need to converge to vps.

Overall this was a solid submission that showed a nice deal of growth. Your line confidence and ellipses are both coming along nicely. I think you are understanding most of the concepts these lessons are trying to convey quite well. Just make sure you read all of the instructions a bit more carefully moving forward and follow the homework assignment layouts exactly as they are. I'm going to mark this as complete and good luck with the 250 box challenge!
