Congratulations on completing lesson 1! You did a pretty good job overall and I can see you learned a lot by the end.

Just to let you know, TAs normally ignore student self assessments (unless there is a question being asked) so as not to contaminate our critiques of your work.

Starting with your super-imposed lines, you did a good job of making your lines smooth and confident looking. In your ghosted lines you did a pretty good job maintaining this. Your lines look straight and confident with very few signs of hesitation. You planes also look fairly well constructed. Great job on this section!

With your tables of ellipses homework you drew through your ellipses correctly and they have a fairly round and even shape. You also did a good job of placing them neatly inside their alloted space. There is some wobbling and hesitation in some of your ellipses. So make sure that when you draw your ellipses that you are using the ghosting method and drawing from the shoulder when you make your ellipses the same way you would your straight lines from before. Your ellipses in planes homework shows some good improvement! Your ellipses are smoother here with fewer signs of hesitation overall and they have a nice round shape to them. Last for this section are your funnels. Your ellipses continue to improve and I can see that you have steadily improved your ellipses as you competed each section. A few of your ellipses are a little tilted along the minor axis. If your ellipses are tilting you should rotate your page until they line up correctly.

In your rough perspective homework you placed your boxes correctly, keeping your horizontal lines parallel with the horizon and your vertical lines perpendicular. You also did a good job of keeping your lines fairly straight and confident looking throughout your construction. I do see a few areas where your mark making quality dips a bit. Just make sure that you are taking your time at every step of your construction and giving each mark as much time and preparation needed to execute your lines with confidence.

The rotated boxes exercise is a challenging and complex exercise. You did a good job here! Your boxes are well constructed with mostly smooth, straight and confident looking lines. Your boxes have a good amount of rotation along the major axes and your kept your gaps narrow and consistent. The only thing I want to point out is that your hatching marks are not of the same quality as the rest of your construction. You should use the ghosting method for every mark you make, even small ones like this while working on Drawabox. But again, you did a really good job on this exercise.

Finally with your organic perspective boxes I can see some room for improvement with getting your sets of parallel lines to converge more consistently towards their shared vanishing points. That is something you will work on more in the next steps. I do see a few lines that are either correction marks or you were trying to add some additional weight to your lines. Hesitation serves no purpose. Mistakes happen, but a smooth, confident mark is still useful even if it's a little off. You should not try to fix or cover your mistakes. Simply leave them and move on. Now, when you go to add weight to a line it is important that you treat the added weight the same way you would a brand new line. That means taking your time to plan and ghost through your mark so that when you go to execute it the mark blends seamlessly with your previous mark. This will allow you to build and create more subtle and clean looking weight to your lines.

Congrats again and good luck with the 250 Box Challenge!
