Hello! I'm Joxmarf and I will be reviewing your Lesson 1
Superimposed Lines
There's some fraying. Remember to place your pen mindfully before doing the stroke.
Ghosted Lines
These are good. Some of your lines arc a bit. If you arer drawing from your shoulder, you could intentionally try to arc your stroke a bit in the opposite direction to counteract the natural curve.
Ghosted Planes and Ellipses
Some of your ellipses were only drawn through once. Your ellipses seem confidently drawn.
Table of Ellipses
Your ellipses are tight, but many of them aren't touching each other. Remember that you must avoid to keep them 'floating'.
Funnels
It is difficult, but remember to do your best to align them to the minor axis.
Plotted Perspective
Well done.
Rough Perspective
Well done.
Rotated boxes
You missed some boxes. Remember that, while the boxes in the corners are challenging, they are important and fear of 'ruining' the page will hold you back. Complete the exercise before moving onto the 250 challenge.
Organic Perspective
Well done. Your boxes have a shallow foreshortening, which helps keep the sense of scale consistent.
Next Steps:
FInish the rotated boxes exercise before moving onto the 250 box challenge. Add these exercises to your warmup pool. Good job!
Hey thank you so much for taking all your time out, I'll surely keep this in mind before I move on to the 250 box challenge. Will rectify my mistakes and get some more practice!
of course! happy to help :D
Where the rest of my recommendations tend to be for specific products, this one is a little more general. It's about printer paper.
As discussed in Lesson 0, printer paper (A4 or 8.5"x11") is what we recommend. It's well suited to the kind of tools we're using, and the nature of the work we're doing (in terms of size). But a lot of students still feel driven to sketchbooks, either by a desire to feel more like an artist, or to be able to compile their work as they go through the course.
Neither is a good enough reason to use something that is going to more expensive, more complex in terms of finding the right kind for the tools we're using, more stress-inducing (in terms of not wanting to "ruin" a sketchbook - we make a lot of mistakes throughout the work in this course), and more likely to keep you from developing the habits we try to instill in our students (like rotating the page to find a comfortable angle of approach).
Whether you grab the ream of printer paper linked here, a different brand, or pick one up from a store near you - do yourself a favour and don't make things even more difficult for you. And if you want to compile your work, you can always keep it in a folder, and even have it bound into a book when you're done.

Consider the following:
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.
