Disclaimer: I try to keep these critiques direct and to the point. It's not my intention to come off as harsh or detour you from drawing. I have a system that gets me to finish a critique in about 90 minutes and I follow it rather rigidly. Keep in mind that like you, I am a beginner. These critiques are based of a: widely available critique guide, the lesson plan and its accompanied video companion, and my own experience from completing lesson 1 and revisiting the exercises as a regular warm-up. With that all out of the way; LET'S DO THIS!

Superimposed Lines: Solid. We should not be using the example as a reference; just as a guide to what our work should somewhat look like. Be sure the next time you revisit the exercise that you experiment with many different sets of lines. The work itself is fine just be sure to take your time when setting down your pen. We should only have fraying at the end of your lines.

Ghosted Lines: Solid. We have a wide range when it comes to the quality of your lines. We got some nice straight lines but we also have some with severe arching and some of your lines missing both of their plotted points. Again be sure to carefully put your pen down before making your stroke. Also be sure to take your time and rotate that page for every single line to find the most optimal position to make a nice straight line from your shoulder.

Ghosted Planes: Solid. We can fit quite a few more planes as well as play with more angles and sizes but overall it's a good effort. I'm not too concerned about the over and undershooting of your lines. That will solve itself with time and practice. Right now it's all about creating those nice straight lines. Remember to take your time and follow the process for every single line your make. Plot your points, rotate your page, ghost your stroke, carefully set your pen on a plotted point, and in one confident motion from your shoulder put down your line. It may seem like an overly painstaking process but it will pay dividends down the line.

Table of Ellipses: Needs Work. Be sure to carefully read the instructions. We should have created a table that was detailed to us in the lesson plan, (https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/tablesofellipses). Although the Ellipses are drawn through many of them are not touching and there is a lack of variety when it comes to the orientation of their tilt. Consider drawing your Ellipses on the bound of a previous Ellipse to get them nice and tight together. Be sure to continue to ghost your strokes, and be sure to experiment with a variety of speeds when putting down your lines. Try to find the sweet spot of creating accurate but smooth ellipses.

Ellipses in Planes: Solid. The Ellipses are drawn through and overall they are smooth. Continue to ghost and practice to get a more even shape in the future.

Funnels: Needs Work. Many of the same issues as with the Table of the Ellipses exercise. We'll improve with continued practice. Be careful when setting up your funnels you need that minor axis to be aligned through the middle of your funnel. Be sure to use a ruler and find a curve edge to trace, like a protractor or a bowl. This is a deceptively hard exercise, when you revisit it be mindful that your Ellipses can not have any tilt in them.

Plotted Perspective: Very good. Be sure to properly orientate your page when you upload your work for critiques. Your hatching could be cleaner, be sure to take your time and enjoy your time with that ruler. We don't get to use it very often.

Rough Perspective: Good. The boxes have been drawn through and you used a straight edge to create guidelines back towards the Vanishing Point. I'm seeing some line correcting and lack of confidence in your strokes. No matter how complicated the problems get be sure to go back to the basics of creating those nice straight lines. Plotting, Rotating, Ghosting, and using that shoulder. Keep in mind, that for this exercise that the more parallel you can get your horizontal lines to the horizon line and the more perpendicular you can get those verticals to the horizon line, the sturdier your boxes' construction will be.

Rotated Perspective: Good. We're really not meant to succeed at this exercise at this early juncture. What's important is you gave it your best effort and attempted to draw every box. Again take your time when plotting those points and executing your lines. Consider adding hatching and some line weight to make the image more clear when you revisit this exercise in the future.

Organic Perspective: Good. Again this exercise is designed to give us trouble. We'll learn more about the "Y" method of constructing boxes and working with 3 point perspective in the 250 box challenge. Again let's add some line weight to the silhouette of your boxes and experiment with some overlapping and a greater degree of size differential in the future.

Overall Thoughts: Solid. All the work is complete, you gave your best effort, and all the instructions (Table of Ellipses excluded) have been followed. Be sure to focus on line quality and improving on your Ellipses when you revisit these exercises.
