Hello Cpinzon my name is trollfromhell and i am gonna give u my critiques if your lesson 1
1.Lines
your super imposed lines are fraying on both ends,u should know that when u stroke ur lines u must use ghosting method so you will hit it with better accuracy,fraying is only acceptable at the far end
-your ghosted lines are good
2.elipses in the planes
when you draw through elipses twice make sure u keep the lines close together so they will look clean
3.tables of elipses
u need to ghost your elipses before u draw them,just like u ghost straight lines with your shoulder u also draw elipses with your shoulder too also if needed rotate the paper to draw elipses
4.funnels
the minor axis (the line in the middle) should cut ellipses in 2 symetrical halves.
5.plotted perspective
you should put darker lines for shadow but other than it looks clean and neat
6.rough perspective
your lines should be parallel to horizon and height lines perpendicular to horizon,make sure they are 90 degree whether they are horizontal or vertical lines of your boxes,put dots to draw the face of the box
7.rotated boxes
they are okay and i think you will learn more in 250 boxes exercise 8.organic perspective
keep the size of your boxes like cube from smaller becoming bigger i reccomend u to strart drawing with Y rather than any angle
Next Steps:
2 super imposed lines
1 ellipses in funnels
1 rough perspective

Hello!
Thank you for responding so quickly! I just finished the revision assignment and posted it here on imugr:
Please let me know what the next step is! Thanks for the help!

lines are okay but ur elipses need to be cut in half with minor axis (the middle line) and your rough perspective is also good but u need to use ghosting method with ur shoulder not your wrist to connect the lines which forming boxes
other than that you have finished this lesson 1
Next Steps:
but ur elipses

It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
Staedtler Pigment Liners
These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.
Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
