Hello Pelletproject,
Lines
Superimposed lines seem to wobble wuite a bit, remember to ghost each one, draw from the shoulder and be confident over accurate.
This is also the case with your ghosted lines, you seem to be focusing on conecting the dots over making one fluid line.
Elipses
I realy like your Planes, while the lines have the issues mentiones avobe, the elipses are realy good, on some of them you focus to much on touching the sides and sacrifice the round shape of the elipse, but over all they are very confidant and they will become accurate with time, keep it up.
Tables are also good, confidence wise you are almost there. Remeber to ghost and draw from shoulder.
Funnels are good, nicely aligned, remember elipses should barely touch eachother and only do UP TO 3 PASSES, i can see you did 4 on some.
Boxes
Rotated boxes are quite good, some minor alignment issues remember https://d15v304a6xpq4b.cloudfront.net/lesson_images/9a16c189.jpg the distance between boxes should be consistant, also there are some rotation issues mostly on the alst boxes, they should be rotating harder to avoid this https://d15v304a6xpq4b.cloudfront.net/lesson_images/d73eea49.jpg.
Also dont overdo lineweight, keep it to one superimposed line.
Organic persepctive is realy nice, but i notice you did multple passes for some lines, correcting them. Dont do this, this covers up the mistake and makes it harder to see, the objective is not something pretty but to learn.
Over all really nice first lesson
Next Steps:
Onward to 250 Box challenge. Good luck and keep it up :)
Let's be real here for a second: fineliners can get pricey. It varies from brand to brand, store to store, and country to country, but good fineliners like the Staedtler Pigment Liner (my personal brand favourite) can cost an arm and a leg. I remember finding them being sold individually at a Michael's for $4-$5 each. That's highway robbery right there.
Now, we're not a big company ourselves or anything, but we have been in a position to periodically import large batches of pens that we've sourced ourselves - using the wholesale route to keep costs down, and then to split the savings between getting pens to you for cheaper, and setting some aside to one day produce our own.
These pens are each hand-tested (on a little card we include in the package) to avoid sending out any duds (another problem with pens sold in stores). We also checked out a handful of different options before settling on this supplier - mainly looking for pens that were as close to the Staedtler Pigment Liner. If I'm being honest, I think these might even perform a little better, at least for our use case in this course.
We've also tested their longevity. We've found that if we're reasonably gentle with them, we can get through all of Lesson 1, and halfway through the box challenge. We actually had ScyllaStew test them while recording realtime videos of her working through the lesson work, which you can check out here, along with a variety of reviews of other brands.
Now, I will say this - we're only really in a position to make this an attractive offer for those in the continental United States (where we can offer shipping for free). We do ship internationally, but between the shipping prices and shipping times, it's probably not the best offer you can find - though this may depend. We also straight up can't ship to the UK, thanks to some fairly new restrictions they've put into place relating to their Brexit transition. I know that's a bummer - I'm Canadian myself - but hopefully one day we can expand things more meaningfully to the rest of the world.
