Welcome to drawabox, and congrats on getting through Lesson 1. Let’s see how you did, shall we?

Starting off, your superimposed lines look good. They’re smooth, properly lined up at the start, and of a consistent trajectory. I notice that you’ve not tried any arcing lines, but that’s alright. The ghosted lines/planes look mostly good, and I’m pleased to see that you’ve plotted start/end points for the non-diagonal center lines of the planes. That said, the reason I say mostly is because they’re still at times a little insecure. Remember that whether they’re accurate is no concern of ours! All we care about is that they’re smooth, and straight. If that has to come at the cost of accuracy, so be it.

The table of ellipses exercise looks great. Your ellipses are smooth, rounded, and properly drawn through. I’ll remind you, however, that ellipses in a frame need to maintain a consistent degree/angle throughout. The ellipses in planes exercise looks good. Your ellipses are a little small, and, as a result, a little insecure (the smaller a mark, the harder it is to engage your shoulder for it), but as this is due to the planes themselves, I don’t count it as a mistake. The funnels look fantastic – a lot of confidence on display here, and your accuracy is quite solid, too.

The plotted perspective exercise looks good.

The rough perspective exercise starts off strong, and shows some nice improvement throughout the set. My only complaint is that you’ll sometimes automatically reinforce your lines – something we expressly discourage. To clarify, that’s when you draw a line, notice that it didn’t come out as intended, and re-drew it. There’s no need for that. To begin with, it doesn’t actually fix your mistake, but rather just makes it easier to spot, but even more importantly, being comfortable with making mistakes is an essential tool for an artist.

Solid attempt at the rotated boxes exercise. It’s big (huge positive!), its boxes are snug, and they do a good job of rotating. There’s the expected issues with their back sides, and depth lines, but those will naturally resolve themselves as you progress through the box challenge, so no need to stress.

Save for some overshooting (which makes me wonder whether you’re plotting start/end points for your lines (if you’re not, please do!)), the organic perspective exercise looks nice. The size and foreshortening of your boxes does a lot to suggest their flow, and as for any issues in construction (some lines diverge), they’ll be ironed out in a second!
