Looks pretty good! I think you can move on to what is next.
Lines looked nice and confident and started at the same point in the first exercise.
For the second one (plotted lines? can't remember the name) I would maybe do this again. Your line wobbles a bit. I can tell from the first exercise that you can draw a confident line, but I think there is something about putting borders or goals on it by drawing points that makes it tricky. Just push through even if it doesn't feel right. go faster if you need to. One thing I noticed is that your lines get thinner at the end like you are gradudally lifting off. I don't think you should be doing that, you should just stop on the point. I think some of those bad habits transfer to the next homework, ellipses is panes.
Ghosted planes exercise: Your lines actually look really confident and straight in this one! They overshoot a good bit, which isn't bad at this point, but they should be getting better focus on ghosting the line and STOPPING at the point, not lifting your arm off the paper gradually. Do this consistently until you can confidently stop on the second point. Your ellipses o nthis are okay, but they get better in the next exercise!
I think the ellipses in boxes exercise is actually pretty good, not thoughts from me.
I might do the ellipses in the funnel exercise one more time. I would focus on keeping your ellipses all aligned a tthe same angle. They stay pretty well within the funnel so that is good!
Rotated boxes looks pretty good. It looks like you are trying to re-draw the lines though. I know it's tempting but don't do it! I think the thought is that as you keep practicing you'll eventually get better, but if you keep fixing it, you'll much more slowly figure out how to get it right the first time. if that makes sense.
I think you can move on to the next step, just keep practicing those things. 1. Ghost more carefully (but not slower) 2. don't redraw lines.
I would also do ellipses in planes as a warm up as you are doing your boxes or whatever is next!
Next Steps:
I think you can go to the next step...boxes?
The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw
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.
