It looks like you're understanding the purpose well. Your lines are smooth which means you are showing confidence in your strokes!
On some of your ellipse funnel exercise - it looks like occasionally your ellipses are not consistently drawn tightly. I really only see this on ellipse6 image. Occasionally your ellipses aren't lined up so that they touch the previous ellipse drawn which means there might not be as much thought on where you should be putting the ellipse and thus more loosely defining your goals of where the ellipse should sit. (think about how it was mentioned that drawing ellipses in concentric circles might not be a very helpful exercise as we are loosely defining where the ellipse should lie but drawing a rectangular border and having an ellipse touching all sides of the border is because you have pre-defined where the ellipse needs to sit).
You're also not drawing through a lot of your ellipses. Particularly in the ellipse in plane exercise. You should draw through the ellipse 2-3 times and not just one time around.
Your lines are good. You are building your journey towards confidence, so ghost more next times. The ellipses aren't tight. You didn't draw through the ellipses twice or thrice.
As for the rotated boxes. I see improvement each time you did the exercise, but still some of the boxes esp the outer ones aren't rotated.
It's rough to tell you to repeat that exercise after 4 trials, so move on for now.
Yet, I don't see the perpendicular lines nor the four outer boxes used as checkers, so the boxes you draw feels as if they are falling from the air...
This is a good lesson to follow the instructions next times. Learning from trials is more fruitful than just following the instructions blindly since you become aware of what wrong would happen if you didn't.
Next Steps:
Yes, move on, but remember to draw through ellipses. You can do a page mixed with lines, super imposed lines, ellipses in planes, funnels. All that in a page as a daily warm up.
Right from when students hit the 50% rule early on in Lesson 0, they ask the same question - "What am I supposed to draw?"
It's not magic. We're made to think that when someone just whips off interesting things to draw, that they're gifted in a way that we are not. The problem isn't that we don't have ideas - it's that the ideas we have are so vague, they feel like nothing at all. In this course, we're going to look at how we can explore, pursue, and develop those fuzzy notions into something more concrete.
