Welcome to drawabox, and congrats on completing Lesson 1. For future reference, albums can have more than one image. That way, you don’t need to post 50 separate links for the box challenge! :P Before I move you on to that, though, let’s take a look at this submission.

Starting with your superimposed lines, these look good. They’re smooth, properly lined up at the start, and of a consistent trajectory. I’d have liked to see some arcing lines, too, but that’s alright. Your ghosted lines look quite confident, also, and I’m pleased to see that you’ve made their start/end points a little smaller in the planes exercise. Remember that the idea is that a perfect line should swallow them both. I’m also happy to see that the overshooting issue is much improved, by the end of the submission – keep up the good work.

Moving on to the ellipse section, the ellipses in the table of ellipses exercise look solid: they’re smooth, rounded, and properly drawn through. I’ll remind you, however, that they’re meant to touch all available sides of a frame. So the ones in the fifth row (in both pages, actually!) are incorrect. The ellipses in planes look nice. Now that you’ve eased yourself into them, however, see if you can have them fill the entire plane, rather than just a portion of it. Also, ditch those ‘ellipses inside of ellipses’ things – they’re not particularly useful. Good work on the funnels. You’ll want to spend a little longer ghosting, so as to fix those alignment issues, but things are looking good, otherwise.

The plotted perspective exercise is well done, though you should’ve used a ruler for the back lines.

The rough perspective exercise shows some nice improvement throughout the set. That said, you’ll want to spend a little more time with each point, to ensure that it not only heads to the correct spot on the horizon, but also that, when connected with another point in the same plane, it forms lines that are parallel/perpendicular to it, as per the instructions. Also, remember that each line is drawn once, and only once, regardless of how it turns out. Don’t get into the habit of automatically reinforcing your lines.

Solid attempt at the rotated boxes exercise. The boxes struggle to rotate, and forcing yourself to keep them snug has caused you some trouble in the back, but you’ve kept them snug, just the same, and most importantly, you’ve seen the exercise through to the end. I’ve got 2 things to say. First, remember that all you’re doing is drawing the same line, over and over again: a line from point A to point B. If it can be confident in the ghosted lines exercise, it can be confident here, too. Second: don’t stress! As we progress through the box challenge, we’ll learn a little bit more about how to go about constructing boxes – something that you’ll be able to make use of in your next attempt.

Speaking of boxes, the organic perspective exercise looks a little mixed. I wonder if you’ve plotted start/end points for all of your lines, here – the amount of overshooting suggests not; be sure to. Other than that, be careful about lineweight, here. A thick line pops to the front, and thus often contradicts what its size is saying, about its position in the page. Since our hierarchy here is especially delicate, we don’t want to introduce elements that can throw it off; thus, lineweight is better left off entirely.
