Hello and congrats on completing lesson one. My name is Rob and I'm a teaching assistant for Drawabox who will be handling your lesson one critique. Starting with your superimposed lines these are off to a fine start. You are keeping a clearly defined starting point with all of your wavering at the opposite end. Your ghosted lines and planes turned out well. You are using the ghosting method to good effect to get confident linework with a pretty decent deal of accuracy that will get better and better with practice.

Your tables of ellipses are coming along decently. You are doing a good job drawing through your ellipses but you seemed to be a bit too focused on accuracy and it is causing you to deform your ellipses and is reintroducing some line wobble. I'm seeing the same issues with your ellipses in planes as well. https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/12/deformed This is likely happening because you are too worried about accuracy and are probably slowing down your stroke to compensate. Try and rely a bit more on the muscle memory of the motion you build up while ghosting and almost make your mark without thinking. This will be less accurate at first. Although accuracy is our end goal it can't really be forced and tends to come through mileage and consistent practice more than anything. Your ellipses in funnels are having the same issues but seem fine otherwise. So with that being said I'd like to do one more page of ellipses in planes with a focus on smooth and confident ellipses. Try not to worry too much about accuracy.

The plotted perspective looks fine although I do want to mention your added line weight here. It appears that you may have reverted back to drawing with your wrist for the added line weight which is reintroducing wobble in your linework. I can't be entirely sure of this but that's just something to keep in mind. Your rough perspective exercises turned out pretty good. You are getting a mix of confident linework here along with some wobble creeping back into some of your lines. https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/9/wobbling This is probably happening because you are more concerned with accuracy now that you are constructing boxes and you are slowing down your stroke to compensate. You are doing a good job extending the lines back on your boxes to check your work. As you can see some of your perspective estimations were quite off but that will become more intuitive with practice.

Your rotated box exercise turned out pretty well. I like that you drew this nice and big as that really helps when dealing with complex spatial problems. You also did a good job drawing through your boxes and keeping the gaps between your boxes fairly consistent. You're still having some problems getting all of the rotations correct which is perfectly fine given the difficulty of this exercise and this was a pretty good effort overall. This is a great exercise to come back to after a few lessons to see how much your spatial thinking ability has improved. Your organic perspective exercises are looking good. You seem to be getting comfortable using the ghosting method and drawing from your shoulder for confident linework which is great and this is a nice improvement over your rough perspective boxes. There are some solid box constructions in here along with some wonky ones so the 250 box challenge will be a great next step for you to become a bit more consistent.

Overall this was a solid submission that showed a nice deal of growth. Your line confidence showed really nice improvements as you worked through these exercises but I think your ellipses need to be a little bit smoother before moving on. So I'd like you to do one more page of the ellipses in planes and try and focus on an overall smooth ellipse shape with less of a focus on accuracy. Make sure you are ghosting your ellipse multiple times and try and rely on the muscle memory you build up while ghosting instead of slowing down your stroke for the sake accuracy once you begin making your mark. This will be less accurate at first but should give you an overall smoother shape. Otherwise, I think you are understanding most of the concepts these lessons are trying to convey quite well. Once you get that revision submitted I'll take a look and you can most likely move on to the 250 box challenge.
