"Hello I'm Simon and will be reviewing your Lesson 1 :)

1. Superimposed lines

First of all you did a good job of drawing your lines confidently and committing to the stroke once you started it. Looks like there is some fraying on both sides of your superimposed lines, take your time before drawing each stroke to put your pen back on the starting point, this is likely due to you rushing the exercise a bit and shouldn't be hard to fix.

2. Ghosted lines

Well done your Ghosted lines do not wobble. Your lines remain straight, that's good in the future keep the habit of drawing with your whole arm so you have long confident lines! You did a good job of having your lines end up near or on the final dot, keep practicing this exercise (and the others) in your warmups to get even better at it!

3. Ghosted planes

You did a really good job of doing your ghosted planes, your lines are as good/better than the ones from your previous exercises.

4. Table of ellipses

Seems like you are drawing through some of your ellipses more than twice, for the same reason that you shouldn't draw through your ellipse once only drawing through them more than twice is detrimental, makes you less in control of your ellipse and put less confidence in your mark. Whenever you draw an ellipse freehand throughout the whole course be sure to only draw through it twice over. You tried to fit every ellipse and circle snugly along the borders of your tables good job, it is tough to achieve but as long as you keep striving for it you'll improve! Most of your ellipses are evenly shaped and appear smooth good job! Getting a perfect ellipse is a really hard job but you'll have time to work on it through your warmups.

5. Ellipses in planes

Once again good job on drawing through every ellipse twice! You tried and managed to fit your ellipses right between the four sides great job on managing to do that! Some of your ellipses aren't really evenly shaped, you should draw your ellipses with bold confident lines, once you started drawing don't think about where your line needs to go that was to be planned during the ghosting part, once you start draw with your whole arm a confident ellipse!

6. Funnels

You seem to have struggled to keep your ellipses fit snugly to the funne, be sure to take your time and use the ghosting method when drawing these ellipses and just keep practicing this exercise as your warmup and you will get better at it :) You kept most of your ellipses along the direction of the minor axis, keep practicing this exercise as a warmup in your next lessons.

7. Plotted perspective

As mentioned in the exercise you used a ruler to draw your boxes that's all good. Some of your initial lines for the boxes that should be perpendicular to the horizon aren't perfectly lined up which makes your boxes less solid, when attempting this exercise in your next warmups simply take more time to set up your ruler as well as you can before drawing your lines. You made sure to plot every single line back to the right vanishing point so good job, even though some back corners don't come out perfectly that's completely fine :)

8. Rough perspective

Managing to land every single line exactly back to the vanishing point is a near impossible task at this point but what's important is you tried and most of your lines do try to reach that center point! Some of your boxes front/back aren't rectangular, that's probably due to rushing, when doing this exercise take all the time you need to set up your sides so that they form a rectangle, the front and back being a rectangle should be more important than the sides going exactly to the vanishing point. You don't seem to understand how to draw your lines extensions. You're not supposed to put your ruler to the VP, the AIM of the exercise is for your lines extension to reach the VP but most likely most of your lines aren't, when drawing the lines extensions you should put your ruler along the sides of your boxes and extend it until you reach the horizon, and then you can see how close to the VP and how well you did. If my explanation is not clear I recommend you go back to read about the exercise on it's page. You seem to have used the ghosting method for every stroke that's good! Keep using it for every stroke and your exercises will look much better than if you didn't!

9. Rotated boxes

The setup of your rotated boxes is well laid out with the cross and the 4 cubes to strive for in each cardinal direction :) You kept the gaps between each box tight and consistent. That's a key to having a good result with this exercise. You seem to understand how to rotate your boxes, but don’t seem to rotate them enough, that’s fine since it still shows that you understood the assignment but if you can I’d like you to try this exercise once more while keeping an eye on the side squares you drew at the start as a goal for you 2nd box on each side. Drawing through your boxes is also a key part of the exercise and is also making you start practicing this skill that will be used for every box in the 250 challenge. You don't seem to have properly drawn every box of the whole set though, if you go and look back at the demo of this exercise you should see that there are two boxes in every single direction of the central boxes, achieving at the end a sort of 5x5 square being wrapped around a ball, I strongly encourage you to finish this exercise before you move on to the 250 boxes challenge!

10. Organic perspective

Once again using the ghosting method for every single stroke of this course is a crucial part into getting good habits for your whole drawing journey! Some of your boxes seem to have parallel or diverging lines, that's a common mistake when drawing shallower foreshortening boxes and the only way to get better at it will be through taking the time to place each stroke carefully while drawing your boxes, take your time. You will also improve on this as you move through the 250 boxes challenge! You did a good job of drawing shallower foreshortening here as some people tend to go into more dramatic foreshortening which in this exercise as the effect of making the boxes seem inconsistent in scale compared to each other, overall making the drawing less solid and less believable.

Good job overall, keep practicing these exercises as you move forward

Don't forget to complete your 50/50 rule and to add these exercises to your warmups for future lessons!

Also I strongly encourage you to go review some submissions on the website :) You can review some lessons 1 and once you've completed future lessons review those as well. Don't hesitate to do a review every so often. It really benefits you so you don't forget the point of the previous exercises and helps other people who are waiting on a review :)
