Hello,
Thank you for the critique. I did what you said and tried to keep in mind your feedback while I was doing it: https://imgur.com/a/BuhaJ1g
As for the Rotated Boxes, it was my second attempt. I didn't add the guide boxes on the axes because they were distracting to me when I tried the first time and it tripped me up when I started doing the first corner quadrant of boxes.
Ok I think I see a better attempt at symmetry with these. The ellipses are a little wobbly. Thats ok though, ellipses are very hard.
BUT for the rotated boxes, you shouldn't have attempted it again. It was heavily implied you would mess up, and this sort of stuff would throw you for a loop, regardless of whats tripping you up. All that was asked was a valid attempt at the exercise and you would've been fine. You don't gain anything more from trying to perfect the submission. Usually people practice rotated boxes in warm ups a little while after the lesson. I understand where you're coming from, but at the end of the day it seems you decided to disregard part of the instructions, as well as repeat an exercise without being asked to do so.
I think for the most part you did great, and you'll show much improvement in the future. I'll make this as complete just keep in mind what I said!
Next Steps:
Practice more ellipses in your warm ups for the future and you will be golden!
A lot of my students use these. The last time I used them was when I was in high school, and at the time I felt that they dried out pretty quickly, though I may have simply been mishandling them. As with all pens, make sure you're capping them when they're not in use, and try not to apply too much pressure. You really only need to be touching the page, not mashing your pen into it.
In terms of line weight, the sizes are pretty weird. 08 corresponds to 0.5mm, which is what I recommend for the drawabox lessons, whereas 05 corresponds to 0.45mm, which is pretty close and can also be used.
