Hey! Welcome to drawabox, and a big congrats on completing Lesson 1. Let’s see how you did!

Your superimposed lines look good. They’re smooth, all lined up on the left, and of a consistent trajectory. I’d have liked to see some more arcing lines, but that’s alright. Your ghosted lines/planes look fairly solid, if their start/end points a little large (remember that a perfect line should swallow them both). Thanks to that, however, I can tell that you didn’t use any for the non-diagonal center lines of the planes – please do.

The table of ellipses exercise looks decent. The main issue seems to stem from your focus on accuracy, oftentimes at the cost of confidence. It should be the other way around. What I mean by this, is that a confident ellipse that’s inaccurate is correct; a wobbly one that isn’t, is not. The ellipses in planes are a step in the right direction, on that front, though still struggling – here, too, the ellipse being smooth and rounded is more important than it hitting all sides of the frame. The funnels are more of the same. In other words, they show a strong understanding of the exercise-specific concepts, though still struggle to follow the more general ones regarding priorities – see if you can work on that during your warmups.

The plotted perspective exercise looks clean.

The rough perspective exercise shows some solid improvement throughout the set, even though it is hard to tell this, because your correction lines continue past the horizon, instead of stopping at it (why…?) Still, I’ll advise you to stick to a box for as long as you need to, rather than giving it one chance at being better, and then saying ‘close enough.’ In other words, feel free to adjust a point as many times as you need to.

The rotated boxes exercise is well done, though its lineweight is a little lacking as compared to the other sections. Remember that all you’re doing is drawing the exact same line, the one from point A to point B, that you’ve drawn a million times before, over and over. The exercise is different, yes, but the process of drawing a line is not, so there’s no reason for it to be lacking in confidence – try not to let the big picture overwhelm you. Anyway, the boxes are big, snug, and properly rotating, so all looks good.

The organic perspective exercise, too, though if the overshooting is any indication, you didn’t plot any start/end points for these lines, either – please do. Otherwise, your boxes flow well, as a result of their size, and foreshortening; solid work!
