Hello I’ll be handling the critique for your lesson 1 homework-

Lines

-The superimposed lines are off to a great start, as you have always started at a clearly defined point and kept all of the wavering on one side. I do catch some slight wobbliness, remember to prioritize confidence over accuracy and engage your whole arm with a locked wrist, there is the expected fraying at the ends, but this tends to disappear with more mileage and practice.

-Moving on to the ghosted lines, you are doing a great job and they are drawn with a good deal of confidence, the only thing that I want to call out is that your lines tend to make a slight arc, this means that you probably need more time to get comfortable while drawing from your shoulder. One thing that you can do is try to draw your lines a little bit faster to avoid any chance of hesitation.

-The ghosted planes are no different from the ghosted lines, here your linework is looking solid and confident.

Ellipses

-Starting with the tables of ellipses, these are looking very tidy rather than rushed and even though they are difficult to draw you are already doing a good job. Overall I see that you kept in mind the alignment, degree, angle and spacing of the ellipses, while the spacing seems a little off at times, accuracy will come with practice and can't really be forced now.

-The ellipses in planes are turning out well, I just want to give you a quick reminder. You might be thinking that the center of the ellipses is the same as the center of the planes or that you should modify the elliptical ellipse shape so it touches the contact points, but this is not the case. Ellipses have to be symmetrical and have the same shape regardless of where they are, so the only things you can change is how wide the ellipse is and which position it is in.

-The funnels are turning out well and I can see that the ellipses are fitting snugly within the boundaries and don’t spill out, you are also doing a good job when it comes to the alignment of the ellipses to the minor axis as they are cut in equal halves by it. There aren’t any major issues here, so keep up the great work.

Boxes

-Starting with the rough perspective, the first thing that jumps at me is that your linework has got wobbly and hesitant on some parts, try to draw confident lines and do not be afraid of overshooting them, right now you want to get used to drawing lines that follow a consistent trajectory. Another issue, but on a lesser scale, is the tendency to repeat your lines, if you make a mistake don't try to correct it by drawing on top of it, as it only makes it stand out more. Lastly, you are doing a great job aligning the sides of the boxes to the horizon line, and your estimations to the vanishing point are good and they will get better with practice.

-Your rotated boxes are turning out well, as you have kept the gaps between them narrow and consistent, and you have clearly thought about the rotation. The only thing that I want to call out is the linework, I can see some parts where it gets scratchy and sketchy, especially the hatching, you want to be more tidy with it and don’t use a single stroke. One thing that can help you is to use as much space available on your page as you can, this way your marks will be accurate while maintaining good confidence as it will be easier to engage your whole arm when drawing .

-Finishing with the organic perspective you are doing an excellent job, your linework is looking more confident, which has helped your boxes look more solid and believable and you are already making some good attempts at the perspective of the boxes, I only have one minor suggestion: don’t be afraid to overlap your boxes and you can add lineweight to the parts of outer lines that overlap with other boxes to clarify which ones are on top and which behind, so give it a try next attempts you have at the exercise.

Before you move on to the next challenge, I want to leave you some additional work, I’ll leave it below and I look forward to seeing your work, good luck.
