Hello I'll review your lesson one for today.
Starting off with your superimposed lines, it looks good. You're going back to the same point, drawing confident lines, and fraying is natural. Your ghosted lines are looking really straight and confident. Your line accuracy will progress. Just make sure you keep doing them as warm ups. You're keeping the same confidence with ghosted planes, if your lines are not connected or you mess up, try not to fix it. I saw you did it even if it is very minimal. It is a dangerous habit, and avoiding it pays off well.
Your Table of Ellipses are doing well, you're rounding them at least twice and making sure to fit within the bounds, as well as getting that circular shape. Try and see if you can get the rounds to stay down to at least two or three tho. Same for the ellipses in planes. This one actually seems to have rounds that are staying at three at most, so bonus points! Good job. Now try to get it down to two rounds if you can. It seems theres a big difference between your rounds two so maybe try to ghost a little more, but still, the ellipses stay within the planes and are having a strong and confident form. Your funnels are done ok. The symmetry on both sides of the ellipses are pretty lacking. Especially if you look at the ones in the corners, the line isnt even cutting through the minor axis of those ellipses, and it makes it sound as if you didn't have the minor axis line in mind while drawing them. They fit snuggly into the space, but overall it fails at symmetry along the minor axis. Upon further inspection particularly the top corner suffers because the top corner isn't bisected half-and-half in the space provided. You also have only done one page when the requirement is two.
Plotted perspective has nice overlap and looks seems you're understanding vanishing points. The only problem I see is for the back corner you tilt it. Draw it straight up if you can. I think this is due to the vanishing point being so clouded in ink, that you don't trace it back properly. Don't sweat that too much if that feels like the problem. In rough perspective you seem to be confused on how to trace back to the vanishing points of some of them. A lot of the boxes don't seem drawn understanding how the vanishing points relate. Mainly the ones that aren't on the horizon. All four lines should be going back to that vanishing point. I could explain this in more detail but I think it would be more help for you to look back at your plotted perspective and see how the boxes trace back to the vanishing point when on and off the horizon. The rotated boxes are really good. Hopefully this was a first attempt. You got your full rotation and it seems you understand how boxes move in 3-D space if so. You dont even have the four boxes at the corners that are supposed to help remind you to go the full 90 degrees. This makes me think of one of two things: You just didn't do the initial setup that was presented. If this is not your first attempt I hope it is because someone had told you you did the exercise incorrectly. Your organic perspective has good rotation. There is solid change in your initial Y and change in perspective. Your boxes are just tending to diverge, but when you get to the box challenge you'll improve.
I think you did really good, but look at next steps below, so I can mark you as complete!
Next Steps:
I think you just need to do that last page of funnels you didn't do and try to focus on symmetry and the minor axis. Make sure that minor is drawn properly in the space you make for it. I'd also really like to see you do another page of rough perspective. Look back at the plotted perspective exercises, and focus on how boxes behave further and closer to the horizon. I think you did really good besides those couple things. I hope to hear from you and I can mark you as complete!
