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?
