Hi FLX! Congratulations on finishing your Lesson 1 homework. I'm Wendy and I will be reviewing your submission.

1. Superimposed Lines:

On your first sheet, there is the occasional wobble in the lines, but for the most part they are confident and smooth. The longer lines have quite a bit of fraying, but that is to be expected at this stage. It looks like you were struggling with the curved lines a bit more; there is definitely more wobble there.

On the second sheet, the lines are no longer wobbly, the lines are straighter and the fraying is less. The curves are much tighter, too. So, you made good improvement there.

I did notice that there is some fraying of the lines on both ends on the second sheet. It's good that you are drawing your lines more confidently, but you should still make sure to place your pen carefully at the start of the line. Fraying should be seen only on the end, not the start of the lines.

2. Ghosted Lines:

Here your lines are also confident and fairly smooth. There is the occasional waver in the line, but for the most part they are pretty straight. Occasionally, you miss the end point by a bit, but it's good that you are prioritizing your line quality over hitting the exact end point.

On a few of the lines, you didn't place the pen at the starting dot quite accurately enough.

I also noticed that you redrew some of the lines, possibly because the first attempt faded out too much towards the end. Be sure to draw each line only once, even if it's wrong.

Some of your lines have a little hook at the end. To avoid that, try lifting the pen off the paper the second you hit the endpoint of the line.

There is some overshooting and undershooting of lines. This is okay for now, as your accuracy will surely improve as you continue with other exercises.

There are two points on the page that you forgot to draw a line between, near the top-left corner of the page. After finishing a page, it's always a good habit to double-check if you missed any parts.

3. Ghosted Planes:

The same points from the ghosted lines apply here, as well. Overall though, it's a pretty solid effort. Your lines are pretty accurate and straight most of the time, and most of your crosses meet up well in the middle.

4. Tables of Ellipses:

You drew your ellipses confidently. A bit deformed at times, but that will get better with more practice over time.

Some of the time, it looks like you lifted your pen prematurely, and decided to place it back on the paper to continue the same ellipse some more.

Try to avoid this. Be sure to draw through each ellipse two full times, and only then lift your pen. It may be tempting to try and fix an ellipse after you drew it, but try to resist doing that and just move on to the next ellipse.

You managed to keep the degree of the ellipses fairly even across each section. However, the angle of the ellipses tends to wander a bit.

On some of the panels, it looks like you made an effort to keep the angle consistent. In others, the angle of the ellipses is slowly shifting as you get near the end of each section. That's an easy mistake to make. Try and keep an eye not just on matching the last ellipse you drew, but all of the ellipses in the section so far.

On any panels with a curved line running through it, it seems you struggled a lot more keeping the angle of the ellipses consistent, and instead, they tend to go in all kinds of directions. You will want to try and keep these more consistent, like fern leaves sprouting from their main stem.

In your warm-ups going forward, I recommend putting special focus on drawing tables of ellipses with a curved line running through it.

You filled up all the extra spaces with smaller ellipses. These extra ellipses aren't necessary, but I commend you for putting in the extra effort. On many of these, you kept the angle of the ellipses quite consistent, so I'm sure it was good practice.

5. Ellipses in Planes:

These ellipses are fairly well-shaped for the most part. They are more even than your tables of ellipses, so it seems you made good progress with them. They meet up with the edges of the plane fairly well most of the time, as well.

However, I noticed that some of these ellipses have faint, pecky little strokes in them. Perhaps that happened during ghosting? Do make sure that when ghosting, your pen doesn't touch the paper.

Then, when you are ready to draw the line, continue the motion you have been ghosting, while landing the pen onto the paper like a plane.

6. Funnels:

The same feedback from the ellipses in planes applies here as well.

Aside from that, these are some nicely drawn ellipses and they meet with the outer borders well for the most part.

You didn't put as much effort into lining up the ellipses with each other though. In many cases, there is significant overlap. Some of them are even overlaying completely.

Try to draw each ellipse so that it touches the border of the previous one. There should be no overlap.

Lastly, not all of your ellipses are aligning with the minor axis well. You want to make sure that the central line of the funnel cuts each ellipse into symmetrical halves. Some of ellipses are slanting inside the funnel.

One more advanced trick you could try in your warm-ups is to have a very narrow ellipse in the middle, and gradually increase the degree as you go out from the center. This will help you to develop more control over the degree.

7. Plotted Perspective:

By placing the vanishing points so close together, you weren't able to take advantage of the whole panel space. It's better to place the vanishing points on the far ends of the horizon line. That way, you can draw bigger, and that will help with accuracy.

You didn't draw any boxes below the horizon line; all of them are above the horizon line. So, we see all boxes from below, and you don't have any boxes that show the top.

As a result, you drew a lot of boxes crammed very closely together. That must have gotten very confusing with the dense grid of lines.

If you draw some of the boxes below the horizon line, some of them across the horizon line, and others completely below the horizon line, you'll have a lot more breathing space between them, and it will be a lot easier to see what's going on with the perspective lines.

Also, you will have a much greater variety of box viewing angles. It's important that you practice boxes with more than one viewing angle.

Lastly, some of your verticals are slanted. You will want to make sure that all of your verticals are properly perpendicular to the horizon line.

8. Rough Perspective:

On the first page of rough perspective, many of your verticals aren't perpendicular to the horizon line, and many of your horizontals aren't parallel to the horizon line. Keep in mind that in this exercise, the front plane and back plane of the boxes should be nice, straight rectangles.

However. on the second page, the horizontals and verticals are aligned a lot better, so it looks like you made improvement in this area already.

I can see that you redrew a line on occasion. Be sure to draw each line only once, even if it's wrong.

The perspective estimates on some of your depth lines are quite off, especially the ones that are further away from the vanishing points. However, that is to be expected, and things will improve with more practice.

You drew all the boxes quite small. Don't be afraid to draw them bigger, and have some of the boxes overlap. If you draw the boxes bigger, it will be easier to draw them more precisely.

The linework is not quite as confident as with your ghosted planes. It looks like you are a little more worried about accuracy here. Although accuracy is important, don't let that get in the way of drawing with confident, steady strokes.

9. Rotated Boxes:

On the middle horizontal row of boxes, you didn't really rotate the boxes. Instead, they just get thinner, and they just move back in perspective without rotating.

However, on the middle vertical row of boxes, they rotate correctly, and the boxes retain their cuboid shapes. So it looks like you made progress here.

Your boxes are progressively more distorted towards the extreme corners. However, this exercise is very difficult at this stage, so it was to be expected. It could be a fun exercise to try again some months or a year later to see how you've progressed!

10. Organic Perspective:

The sizing of your boxes really sell the effect of boxes moving back in space, so good job on that!

Quite a number of your boxes have diverging lines, instead of receding in perspective. This makes them look like tapered wedges instead of boxes. However, this is a very difficult exercise at this stage, so it was to be expected. You will have a lot more opportunity to practice this during the 250 Box Challenge.

I see a few doubled up lines here as well. I know it's tempting to try and fix a line that went wrong, but make sure to draw each line only once even if it went askew.

Some of the sides on the boxes are S-shaped. Be sure to carefully plot the corner points, and ghost each line before you commit.
