Congrats on finishing lesson 1!
Lines: On the superimposed lines exercise, good job oveerall but do try to have each line start from the same point. That way they all begin from the same place, even if they diverge later on. Your ghosted lines are great. Your ghosted planes are solid.
Ellipses:
Your ellipses show good 2-3 passes on each one, excellent. On the funnels, remember that each ellipse needs to be equally bisected by the minor axis. Practice makes perfect on these, they're good warmup exercises. Your ellipses in planes show confidence in making the line even if its not yet 100% accurate, which is what we're supposed to do. Again, practice makes perfect, these are great for warmups.
Boxes:
Your plotted perspective looks awesome! Great job onyour organic perspectives, it looks like you had a few moments of confusion where a few llines didn;t go towards the vanishing point but they're easy to spot and learn from. Practice will make perfect on these! Great job on keeping the gaps narrow on the rotated boxes exercise - it looks like you had a bit of trouble with the rotation and the way the vanishing points move on these. Next time, try using the lines of the previous box as a guide to help keep the next box's shape from getting wonky. Your organic perspective shows you udnerstood the concepts of near and far and relative size, even if your box construction needs some work.
Next Steps:
Definitely attenpt the 250 box challenge :)

Congrats on finishing lesson 1!
Lines:
Make sure your lines start from the same point. Otherwise, it's a good work
Ellipses:
Your ellipses are drawn with confidence, good job.
Boxes:
Some of your rotated boxes are not rotating (especially your boxes at the top). If you look at the exemple in the lecture, you can barely see the top side of the box. It happens because your lines are not converging enough towards the vanishing points. Try to think how your lines should converge and use the previous boxes to help you.
Otherwise, it looks like you understood the homeworks. Practice will improve your box construction. Try to be confident when you draw them as some lines are wobbly.

Color and Light by James Gurney
Some of you may remember James Gurney's breathtaking work in the Dinotopia series. This is easily my favourite book on the topic of colour and light, and comes highly recommended by any artist worth their salt. While it speaks from the perspective of a traditional painter, the information in this book is invaluable for work in any medium.
Remember that when you agree with something another user has written, you are putting your own reputation behind it.
Consider the following:
- If it's homework feedback, does it address each section of the lesson/challenge, or only briefly touch upon one or two exercises?
- Does it provide clearly defined next steps for the student to follow?
- Have you read through it thoroughly, or are you simply agreeing so the student earns a superficial badge?
- Replies you agree with will be visible in your sketchbook
Agreeing blindly just to be nice is a good way to get your permissions associated with this function revoked, so make sure that you genuinely feel that the response is beneficial to the student.
