Hi there!

I actually submitted homework of lesson 1 nearly a year ago and started 250 boxes challenge. However, I burned out because I didn't apply 50% rule. So I decided to start again and here it is. I would really appreciate if you would critique my homework. Thanks!

Hi congrats for finish lesson 1!!

Lines

First, Superimposed Lines there's no fraying in the begin point so nice; next Ghosted Lines and Ghosted Planes quite impressive lines, some of them wobble a little but its not something to worry.

Ellipses:

In general in this part your lines look confidence and respect the bounds; the only recommendation here its to try reduce the number of times you through them to 2 instead of 3. Well done.

Boxes:

In Plotted Perspective and Rough Perspective you get the idea of vanishing point, just in the second exercise your lines start to wobble more than in the line part. Finally Rotated Boxes and Organic Perspective its a nice job, nothing to point here.

Your lesson 1 it's amazing, and the points that I made it's something that practice will help you to surpass. Be aware of you mental, remember DaB can be hard and you should take breaks, no matter the time you get in a lesson. Good Luck!!

Next Steps:

Thank you for the critique!

And yes I also realized my lines were wobbly in boxes exercise. I guess it is going to be in my warm-ups from now on.

Have a nice day!

Staedtler Pigment Liners

These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.

Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
