Hello and congrats on finishing lesson 1. I'll be taking a look at your homework today. Starting with your superimposed lines these are looking very good. Slight tapering on your shorter lines with less accuracy on the longer more challenging lines. There always room for improvement on these but this is a great start. Your ghosted lines are looking very good as well. You are getting nice smooth lines and the more and more you practice the more your accuracy will improve. You carried this good linework over to your ghosted planes as well. Not seeing any issues here.
Looking at your table of ellipses these are very well done as well. Great job drawing through all of your ellipses and you have a high degree of accuracy while still mainting a nice ellipse shape. Very nice. Your ellipses in planes were a bit more of struggle as they tend to be for most people. Some of those ellipse shapes are very tough to hit but you did a good job focusing on maintaining a solid shape instead of deforming your ellipses for the sake of accuracy. Your ellipses in funnels are looking great nothing to say here really.
Plotted perspective looks fine so moving on to rough perspective. This is really well done. You are drawing with confident accurate lines and you did a great job extending your boxes to check your work. Most of your perspective estimation were pretty accurate as well so very nice work overall.
Your rotated box exercise turned out pretty fantastic. Great confident linework and you kept your gaps nice and consistently narrow. You were running into some issues with your boxes not rotating and you seemed to even make a note of it to yourself. Take a look at this section of the lesson homework anyways. https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/16/notrotating
Finally, your organic perspective looks great as well. I'm not even seeing many issues with your box convergences either so I don't think you will have much problem with the 250 box challenge.
This was a very high quality submission and I wish you luck with the 250 box challenge. Keep up the excellent work!
This recommendation is really just for those of you who've reached lesson 6 and onwards.
I haven't found the actual brand you buy to matter much, so you may want to shop around. This one is a "master" template, which will give you a broad range of ellipse degrees and sizes (this one ranges between 0.25 inches and 1.5 inches), and is a good place to start. You may end up finding that this range limits the kinds of ellipses you draw, forcing you to work within those bounds, but it may still be worth it as full sets of ellipse guides can run you quite a bit more, simply due to the sizes and degrees that need to be covered.
No matter which brand of ellipse guide you decide to pick up, make sure they have little markings for the minor axes.
