Hi there carlytoon!

Overall, you have done a nice job!

Lines

Your lines are overall pretty confident with smooth and continuous flow. There are some that waver/wobble or sometimes arc a bit as you draw towards the targeted point. To note, confidence should take precedence and be prioritized before accuracy. It’s ok that the lines aren’t fully accurate, as it is imperative to first develop the shoulder muscle memory to draw out smooth, confident strokes. So continue to ghost and execute every line with your shoulder. Essentially, a confident stroke that is slightly inaccurate is better than an accurate but wobbly line.

In the planes exercise, you do a great job of plotting (placing dots) down the corners. However, the bisecting lines are not always plotted out. The dots are a powerful tool to help establish the trajectory, and best yet you can move the dots before you commit and execute the line.

Also, some lines are repeated/corrected. No matter how tempting it is to correct an errant line, do not correct or repeat over it to correct it.

Ellipses

Ellipses are off to a good start and are generally confident. There are a couple of exceptions, where the ellipses wobble. Also be careful of ellipses that turn sharply as you fit them into their allotted spaces. This causes the ellipses to be misshaped. Just as with lines, focus first on confident smooth strokes. Then work on maintaining its roundedness, and then accuracy last.

Ellipses in the funnel are generally aligned to the minor axis.

Nice job drawing through each ellipses appropriately (2-3 times).

Boxes

As you continue to go through your boxes, there are some nice confident lines. However, there is still a fair share of hesitant lines. Remember to plan, ghost, and execute the line confidently with your shoulder for every line. As previously mentioned, don’t correct any lines.

Rough perspective

A couple of things to keep in mind for this exercise:

• Horizontal lines should be parallel to the horizon line

• Vertical lines should be perpendicular to the horizon line

There are plenty of evidence you are doing this (which is certainly a challenge in itself!), but there are a couple of lines that stray off diagonally.

Rotating boxes

Great job getting through this exercise! The boxes are generally rotating along the vertical and horizontal, so nice job. I won’t go too much into the perspective as this will be covered more in the 250 box challenge, but there is occasionally some lines diverging away from their vanishing point. Otherwise, you are drawing through all of your boxes, which is great!

Organic perspective

As the boxes get slightly smaller on the path, you’ve effectively conveyed a sense that they move slightly away from the viewer. In terms of perspective, there are some sets of parallel lines that diverge away, making planes that are further away appear to get larger instead of slightly smaller. But no worries, you’ll have plenty of practice in the 250 Box Challenge!

With that said, congratulations on completing lesson 1!
