Hello MelonMan I’ll be handling the critique for your lesson 1 homework

Lines

-Starting with the superimposed lines , you have started at a clearly defined point and kept all of the wavering on one side, which is correct. They are also drawn with a good deal of confidence, and lastly, we have the expected fraying at the ends but this tends to disappear with more practice and mileage.

-Moving to the ghosted lines, it is great to see that your lines follow a consistent trajectory even if they are going to miss the ending dot which is exactly what we are looking for. I notice very few instances where your lines arch slightly, this means that you probably need more time to get comfortable with drawing from your shoulder. One thing that can help you is to draw your lines a little bit faster to avoid any chance of hesitation.

-The ghosted planes are no different from the ghosted planes, here you have a few wobbly lines but overall you are doing a great job committing to those lines.

Ellipses

-Your tables of ellipses are looking tidy rather than rushed and you have kept in mind the degree, angle, spacing and alignment of the ellipses in mind, Most of your ellipses are looking symmetrical with well rounded ends, just keep in mind that you should draw through your ellipses 2-3 times, keep up the good work.

-On the ellipses in planes it is great to see that you are not overly concerned with having the ellipses touch the four sides of the plane and you have prioritized drawing symmetrical ellipses, they are also drawn with confidence.

-The ellipses on the funnels are also turning out nicely , but there are a few issues. Firstly, you have some ellipses tilting off the minor axis, and you also have some ellipses that are not fitting snugly. Keep working on those.

Boxes

-On the rough perspective your linework is looking clean, and it has really helped your boxes look more solid and believable, just one thing, do not repeat your lines, if you make a mistake leave it like that and do not try to correct it by drawing on top of it as it only makes it stand out more. You have some trouble aligning the vertical lines, remember that they should be fully perpendicular. Lastly, your estimations to the vanishing point will get better with practice.

-On the rotated boxes remember to give each line as much focus and attention as it requires, each line is no less important for being part of a larger group, use the ghosting method to think about each mark’s purpose and how you are going to achieve it best. This is an exercise that requires you to spend a good amount of time planning your marks. Aside from this you are doing a great job thinking about the rotation and keeping the gaps between boxes narrow

-Finishing with the organic perspective the linework is looking confident and you are already making some good attempts at the perspective of the boxes. To conclude,remember you can add lineweight to the parts of outer lines that overlap with other boxes to clarify which ones are on top and which behind, so give it a try next attempt you have at the exercise.

Okay, nice work I’ll go ahead and mark this lesson as complete.
