Lines

Some fraying on the superimposed lines, but much less so on the second page - same thing with wobbling (starts out noticeable and then is honed out).

On the second page of the superimposed lines, there are not any lines that go across the entire distance of the page - these are useful lines to practice, not just to make long lines, but also for shorter ones, as getting used to doing a line that long confidently can make the smaller ones seem easier.

The ghosted lines exercise has some noticeable wobbling - don't be afraid to draw confidently and miss the mark - consistency first, accuracy second (https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/3/smooth).

Your ghosted planes pages look good - a few lines seem to 'hook' near one side, and I would recommend the same advice for this as the ghosted lines exercise. It's possible that this stems from a hesitation at the end of the line, and if so, it may be helpful to lift your pen up off the page as soon as you are done with a line (https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/10/lifthand)

Ellipses

The tables of ellipses exercise has many ellipses overlapping/missing the tables they are supposed to be in - this is okay, and seems to be honed out in the ellipses in planes exercise. However, there are far too many ellipses in several sections of the pages - I would recommend using larger ellipses/ellipses that have a wider major axis more often

(https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/5/minoraxis explained here) to combat this.

Almost all the ellipses in this section are drawn through 2-3 times, though there are a few that have more - It's hard (speaking from experience,) but it's far better to just do 2-3, even if your accuracy suffers a bit.

The ghosted planes in ellipses exercise looks quite good, however - there are way too many planes and ellipses! I counted ~40 per page, whereas the example homework has ~14. This means one page you did is equal to over double the total homework requirement.

I had a similar issue with my homework, wanting to make the most out of the page, but it's important to remember small and large planes/ellipses are both important. I would recommend looking at the amount of ellipses/planes in the example homework (https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/13/example), and doing a few more or a few less than that when doing this as a warmup. Do not grind. It's okay to not have so many on the page.

In the funnels exercise, for the funnels on the top right corner, there is no minor axis (https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/5/minoraxis) for the cylinders to follow, and the guiding lines are not curved - part of the funnels exercise is trying to align your cylinders to the minor axis, so the ones done there may not be as helpful as the intended homework (https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/14/example). Additionally, some of the ellipses are not quite aligned to the minor axis created by the ruler's main line - this will be honed out eventually, but it is good to keep in mind.

Boxes

Your plotted perspective page looks good! The only thing I would recommend here is making the hatching go across the entirety of the face - many of the lines fall short of the edges.

Your rough perspective pages look good as well! You have gotten rid of a good deal of wobbling here, though a little is still present.

The rotated boxes exercise is tricky, but you've done well here too! The only thing I would recommend is to rotate the corner boxes (ones rotated in two directions) a little more.

You have also drawn through all of the boxes necessary here, so good work on that as well :D

The organic perspective exercise also looks good!

Hey there, I will try my best to give you some advice on your submission.

1. Lines:

• Your lines appear to actually be really straight and also accurate, good job on those! Confidence always comes first, so it's nice to see that you already got your accuracy game down as well!

• Theres no fraying at the start of your superimposed lines and also almost no arcing, which is great

• Your plotted lines also look pretty smooth and confident, not really much to add here!

2. Ellipses:

• You should mostly do 2-3 passes on your ellipses, i see some where you only did one

• Apart from that your ellipses also look really good and smooth

• There is almost no falling short of your boundaries you are trying to hit and only a few overshootings, looking really good!

• You are also keeping you degrees consistent in the table of ellipses exercise, which I like a lot

• Overall you ellipses look great, but for the funnels, try to draw the arcing lines first and after that add the minor axis, so you can make sure you always hit the middle

3. Boxes:

• Plotted perspective looks great! You seem to understand the concept that is being taught here!

• Rough perspective is looking good, although it's a tough exercise you nailed it. Only few wobbly lines here and there

• You were pretty accurate with your perspective and did a good job on your line correction method to figure out where you went wrong

• Rotated Boxes looks great, boxes appear to actually rotate and you kept your edges close together

• Organic perspective looks flawless, only thing I would add is line weight to the parts of the lines where overlaps happen (not the whole line though)

Overall there is only few to actually critique here, you did a great job completing lesson 1 and applying all the taught concepts!

Cheers,

Henni
