Lesson 1: Lines, Ellipses and Boxes
9:27 PM, Thursday November 25th 2021
Here to get slapped in the face in case that makes me be more patient.
congrats on finishing drawabox lesson one, now on to the critique
Lines
Your superimpossed lines look good, the third page is where there seems to be fraying on both sides , overall your lines are confident . Your ghosted lines are nice and confident so are the lines of your ghosted planes. Your lines look nice and ghosted. Well planned lines. Overall nice linework , no wobbles. They follow the lesson well.

Ellipses
Your ellipses look nice and confidently drawn, I do see some overlapping a bit ot overlapping the bounds but this will get better with time. It looks like you also ghost your ellipses well. Your funnels are also really good, I see one funnel that has a gap with it and another one , they should all be touching, im nitpicking here but you should improve over time anyway. Keep ghosting and executing those ellipses with confidence.
Boxes
Plotted perspective is good but some of your boxes are distorted, sort of like the lines glicth in the third panel. Maybe you scanned this and there was a fold in the paper. Thats my deduction. The rough perspective looks good, keep in midn that the vertical lines of the rough perspective are perpendicular to the horizon and the horizontal lines are paralell to the horizon. This will help you plot your lines better.
For rotated boxes , the boxes are nice and they are tight knit and they rotate, the top is good , but I see you had a problem with the bottom. From what I can see the gaps at the bottom are not as tight as te ones at the top resulting in the distorted boxes you see there.
Use surrounding boxes as referece fr the placement of future boxes.

work one box at a time using the boxes around as referece and you will ge there

you did good for the most part in the top half. keep them tight knit, as equal a space as you can make and when in doubt the lessons are here for you to review.plot , ghost and execute lines with confidence
The organic perspective looks good and well plotted.
I willsay you can head on to the 250 box challenge remember to use these lesson one exercises as warmups
good luck :) on to the 250 box challenge and beyond
Next Steps:
You can go do the 250 box challenge.
Thanks for taking the time to critique my work. I appreciate the feedback.
Right from when students hit the 50% rule early on in Lesson 0, they ask the same question - "What am I supposed to draw?"
It's not magic. We're made to think that when someone just whips off interesting things to draw, that they're gifted in a way that we are not. The problem isn't that we don't have ideas - it's that the ideas we have are so vague, they feel like nothing at all. In this course, we're going to look at how we can explore, pursue, and develop those fuzzy notions into something more concrete.
