Lesson 1: Lines, Ellipses and Boxes

Sorry if any of the images are blurry. Please let me know if there's anything that's missing.
Thank you for your time!
Lines: I think you start out okay and every line is going from the same point aka no stray in the beginning but then you start to be to fast and the lines have a lot of straying. I would recommend you to take a little more time and also to fill the pages a little more. That way you will get more practice.
When you were doing ghosted lines you were on point but i the lines look like they were drawn in a hurry so i recommend you to be confident like you are but a little slower.
Ellipses are looking okay but i would also recommend going a little slower.
Also if you are drawing big ellipses try to be very exact at drawing them so they touch the borders that they should so it looks good.
The boxes in perspective exercise is looking very neat and tidy well done:)
The free hand boxes in one point perspective my only suggestion is to not make points or corners so visible just gost line and maybe a little almost invisible dot so you can fix your lines maybe in the process of drawing.
When you shaded the round boxes ylu just went over everything with the texture pointed in the same direction that makes the drawing not so believable. And also the boxes in the corners are not turned enough. I recommend retrying this exercise.
I think you did the organic boxes very well better then me so i have no complaints well done:)
Overall very nicely done!
Good luck and have fun!

Next Steps:
Retry the rotated boxes exercise and then you are ready to go to 250 box challenge:)
This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.
When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.
Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
