hello fellow learner,
congratulation on completing the first lesson! i will divide my feedback according to the lesson:-
- Lines
Your lines are a little wobbly, try to focus on ghosting out your lines as many times as it takes for you to comfortably make a quick, smooth motion along the right trajectory.
The ending points of your Superimposed Lines are also a little frayed, which is fine but you can fixing them by taking more time at ghosting out your lines.
you did a good job at the ghosted lines exercise- your lines are confident and smooth
I noticed arching only on the longer lines.
- Ellipses
You are drawing through your ellipses twice, which is great of the ellipses in your Ellipses in Boxes overlap one another, or the boundaries of the frame. This latter problem due to a lack of time spent before putting pen to paper.
Your Funnels look quite good too.
- Boxes
First of all, I can see that you are properly drawing through your boxes everywhere you were instructed to do so. Good work. You also applied the line correction method properly in your Rough Perspective exercise
few of the boxes in the the rotated box exercise are slightly off.
I liked your organic perspective exercise. The only issues in this exercise in the line weight. the boxes closer to us should be have darker lines.
Overall I definitely see progress in your work.

Hey there! :)
Thank you so much for taking the time to review my homework!
It's been years since I put pen to paper to draw, so I initially struggled with everything.. Especially finding the best angle to draw the lines, and I hated how the corner of the page felt against my hand. But by the funnel exercise (I think), I've gotten used to it.
I took the advice to complete each exercise to the best of your abilities instead of striving for perfection to heart. At first, I didn't really understand how to ghost the ellipses. I was making the motion but didn't know what to look out for. At times it was super frustrating. But by the end of the exercise, I did figure out how to ghost them, and they turned out way better. I also do the ghosted planes and ellipses in planes exercise as a warm-up, and after finishing lesson 1, they already look much cleaner.
The organic perspective exercise is where I really struggled. Visualizing the rotated boxes and translating that onto paper was difficult. That's why a couple of them are facing the same direction. 'Learning by doing' didn't work out there. Since the instruction said it's probably not in our current ability to complete anyways, I thought I'd finish and submit it to see if it's good enough to move forward. ^^"
For the line weight, I wasn't trying to add any to the boxes at all. The only thing I can imagine is that I might have drawn the small boxes too slowly, and that's why they turned out like this. I'll definitely look out for what went wrong there!
Do you think I can move forward to the 250 box challenge or should I redo any of the homework?

hello!
I think you can move forward with the next exercise. I forgot to mark lessson as complete. Sorry about that!

How to Draw by Scott Robertson
When it comes to technical drawing, there's no one better than Scott Robertson. I regularly use this book as a reference when eyeballing my perspective just won't cut it anymore. Need to figure out exactly how to rotate an object in 3D space? How to project a shape in perspective? Look no further.
