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

Lines

-Starting with the superimposed lines, you have always started at a clearly defined point and kept all of the wavering on one side only, I do notice that your strokes tend to break their trajectory, one thing that can help you at this early stage is to loosen up a bit and draw your marks a little faster. Another thing is that I noticed a slight wobble on your curved lines, but you can correct this by doing what I have already mentioned. Aside from that we have the expected fraying at the ends, I trust that all of these issues will disappear with more mileage.

-Moving on to the ghosted lines, these are drawn with a good deal of confidence while maintaining their accuracy, and the same goes for the ghosted planes, and I like to see that you have placed the initial and ending dots as it is an important step to use the ghosting method correctly

Ellipses

-On the tables of ellipses I can see that you have kept in mind the angle, degree and alignment, you are drawing through them as needed and the only thing I would like to call out is that some of them aren’t fully symmetrical so make sure to work on this, your accuracy is good and will continue to improve with mileage.

-On the ellipses in planes, I think you may be too concerned with touching the edges of the plane, but this is not what we are aiming for, it only serves as something to aim for. Your first priority should be to draw fully symmetrical ellipses regardless of where they are, it doesn't matter if they don't touch the contact point.

-Moving on to the funnels I like to see that you are still drawing your ellipses with confidence and overall you are making a good job fitting them snugly , the only thing you can keep working on is the alignment of the ellipses, some of them are tilting off the minor axis.

Boxes

-On the rough perspective the first thing I want to call out is that your linework is not as confident as it could be, it seems that you are more worried about accuracy, and I did notice a slight wobbliness and stiffness on your marks. Instead try to draw them with good confidence even if they overshoot or miss the mark. Aside from that you are aligning the sides of the boxes correctly to the horizon line and the accuracy of your extensions will improve with practice.

-The rotated boxes are turning out, as you have kept the gaps between them narrow and consistent and you are clearly thinking about the rotation of each box, the only suggestion I have is that you can try to give this exercise as much room as possible on the page so that you can draw your marks more easily and engage in spatial reasoning much easier.

-Finishing with the organic perspective I can see that you already have a good grasp of how to rotate a box randomly in 3D space, this knowledge will serve you well on the next challenge, aside from that keep in mind that you can apply lineweight on the parts where the boxes overlap, so give it a try the next time you do this exercise.

Okay that should be everything I wanted to cover, I’ll go ahead and mark this lesson as complete. Best of luck!!
