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!

Faber Castell PITT Artist Pens

Faber Castell PITT Artist Pens

Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.

Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
