Please ignore my first partial submission - I totally forgot to include ghosted lines! Here is the completed lesson 1. It was intimidating at first, especially the rotated boxes, but I ended up having fun and getting really into it.
Hi, congrats on making it through lesson 1 !
Lines
Even though your superimposed lines had a bit of a wobble (maybe you tried to correct the trajectory, maybe it was simply becuse it was your first time drawing with this method), you showed with the ghosted lines and the ghosted planes that you quickly learned the method to make straight lines, even if they are not all perfect, which is very good !
Ellipses
Your drawings show that you draw throuh your elipses, while trying in the table of ellipses and the ellipses in plane to keep them snuggled. They are aligned in the funnel exercise, which is very good !
Boxes
Your plotted perspective looks good, your rough perspective too. Your rotated boxes follow the instructions well, so does your organic perspective. I would be aware that your organic perspective exercise has some dramatic forshortening, try to avoid making your boxes too dramatic for the 250 boxes challenge !
Next Steps:
Proceed to the 250 boxes chalenge !
This recommendation is really just for those of you who've reached lesson 6 and onwards.
I haven't found the actual brand you buy to matter much, so you may want to shop around. This one is a "master" template, which will give you a broad range of ellipse degrees and sizes (this one ranges between 0.25 inches and 1.5 inches), and is a good place to start. You may end up finding that this range limits the kinds of ellipses you draw, forcing you to work within those bounds, but it may still be worth it as full sets of ellipse guides can run you quite a bit more, simply due to the sizes and degrees that need to be covered.
No matter which brand of ellipse guide you decide to pick up, make sure they have little markings for the minor axes.
