Hello!
Your lines and ellipses are a bit wobbly, although there was some improvement on the last few exercises, good job! Remember to always draw from your shoulder and to rotate the page and ghost the lines and ellipses as much as you need to before drawing them! Don't worry too much if they are not entirely accurate right now, confidence is more important at this stage than accuracy, this will come with more practice and time. Also, on the funnels exercises the ellipses are not always symmetrical: remember that they have a minor axis (the line you drew in the middle of each funnel) that should cut them in two symmetrical halves.
The perspective exercises look good! Just remember that you can add some lineweight on some of the boxes, you can try that on the 250 box challenge!
Next Steps:
250 box challenge! Remember to do some of the exercises of this lesson as warm ups. Good luck!

Hello CIMMER1AN,
Congratz on finishing lesson one!
There seems to be quite a wobble to your superimposed and ghosted lines, remember to focus on confidance, one swift and fluid motion and not on accuracy, if you miss your mark it doesnt matter, focus on a fluid shoulder movement. This issue is shared with your elipses, focus on confidence not accuracy, accuracy will come with time and repetition once the muslces get used to the confident movement.
Your rotated boxes seem to not be rotating, remember as the front angle becomes sharper you should be able to see more of the side plane of the box you are rotating and less of the front plane.
Realy like your organic perspective, but try to add lineweight to the overlaping boxes, this aids with reading.
Next Steps:
250 Box challenge next. Realy nice lesson one and good luck on following lessons. Remeber 50/50 rule and dont rush your excersices.

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.
The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw
Right from when students hit the 50% rule early on in Lesson 0, they ask the same question - "What am I supposed to draw?"
It's not magic. We're made to think that when someone just whips off interesting things to draw, that they're gifted in a way that we are not. The problem isn't that we don't have ideas - it's that the ideas we have are so vague, they feel like nothing at all. In this course, we're going to look at how we can explore, pursue, and develop those fuzzy notions into something more concrete.
