Hello Yoshi_saur:

Welcome to drawabox community!

Let's begin with your feedback:

Lines

I can see you have improved as expected with the lesson. I see some wobbling on your lines. Try to ghost as much as you need. Always having in mind the grind rule, ghost enough (about 8 times) until you can do smooth and accurate lines with less ghosting (it will improve, I promise).

Superimposed lines were good, don't worry about curves we are going to focus on straight lines first. You can improve them in warm ups if you want. That could be handy for lesson 2.

In ghosted lines you sacrificed smoothness over accuracy. Keep in mind always smoothness > accuracy. It's better a smooth straight line that missed its end mark by a bit, than a bumpy wobbling line that join both ends. If you want more accuracy you can ghost more, it will improve with time and sometimes you will get accurate lines anyways just because of pure luck. Smoothness in the other hand, depends only on your confidence while drawing so if you reserve some time to evaluate if the line is going good or not and to correct it midway, you will have to take that pause (also know as doubt).

The moment your pen touches the paper you should not correct the line. You should be able to draw it even with your eyes closed (i'm exaggerating a bit here).

Remember, placing marks it's the planning phase. Ghosting is the accuracy phase. Draw is the smoothness phase. Don't try to fix anything in a phase that is not responsible. If you placed a mark badly, remark. If you miss the marks while ghosting, reghost it. And sorry, but you can't redraw things without making a mess in the process, so try to be confident while executing the draw you were practicing in the ghosting phase.

Ghosted planes are good overall. They have the same mistakes I have already mentioned. You have improved in confidence here so these mistakes are less common now. Nice work!

Ellipses

All exercises here are pretty good. I can see some lack of confidence in your strokes though. This could be misleading because ellipses are common to be problematic when starting. If you are drawing them too fast, you could be shooting yourself in the foot. Because any correction (even if little) is going to affect a lot to your ellipse. Try different speeds with your ellipses and find which one suits you best.

You can mix some ellipses exercises between 250 boxes challenge sessions so you can prepare this curvy strokes before reaching lesson 2.

Boxes

Pretty good job here. Don't worry about missing the vanishing points on plotted perspective you will have a lot of room to explore how to improve in that with the 250 box challenge. It's important that you do the complete process for each line, even when the exercise don't specify it, you did a good job here placing your marks and ghosting over them. Nice work!

Rotated boxes and organic perspective were good too. They are tough and are not meant to be perfect in your first attempt. Even with practice these are difficult exercises to do freehanded. You can improve the convergence of the lines while rotating the boxes and using the neighbour as reference you can keep the same rotation as one of them too. Combining this techniques you can achieve a better result.

Try to do this exercise between sessions until you complete it again, because you can get a lot of it. As you are rotating a box in one axis, the vanishing points on that axis should be moving, if they are not, the box doesn't rotate. Keep that in mind, because some of the boxes you drew don't rotate and it's because that. Convergence should be increasing as you continue rotating towards the 90 degree turn.

Congratulations. You made it through the first lesson! Now prepare for the 250 box challenge. And keep in mind the recommendations I gave you (the warm up exercises), because you could be struggling in lesson 2 without them.

I recommend you to approach the 250 challenge with a daily goal (5 - 10 boxes per day) to let the muscular memory fall in place. Don't rush over it because the grind won't pay off as much as if you take your time with each box. I have spent 1 hour for each 5 boxes, it's tough so your perseverance is going to be tested. Good luck with it, and if you have any question i will be glad to help.
