Hey there! I will be looking over your homework today.
First of all, congrats on making it through Lesson One! The first step is always the hardest and you made it ^^
Now for the feedback:
For the lines, I noticed you frayed quite a bit in the beginning. You improved already though by the end of the second page. Keep another eye on the arches you have though. Some arching is normal, but we're trying to improve this continuously in all the DrawABox Lessons, so that we can draw a straight line, instead of an arched one.
On the Ghosted Lines and Ghosted Planes exercise there is still a lot of wobbling visible. Be sure to be patient and ghost every single line and turn your paper, so you can place it neatly. Maybe you're trying to nail the line, but that's not what we're aiming for. The goal is to place a neat, confident line, so keep an eye out for that definitely. You will need that in all the coming Lessons too.
Your Ellipses looked a bit wobbly at first and you learned throughout the Ghosted Planes and Table of Ellipses exercises. Looking good! Good job.
Your boxes are looking great as well. You did well on the Rough Perspective and Organic Boxes assignments, I just have to point out your wobbly lines again. If you had trouble with the Rotated Boxes assignment - don't worry. You will train those enough in the 250 Box challenge.
All in all you already improved in most areas, so good job on that! The Lines will be one of the most important things throughout all the Lessons in Draw a Box, so I'm going to assign you another page of Ghosted Planes. You can add in the ellipses too, if you want. Just for some extra exercise.
Don't forget to answer to this with another imgur link, so I can check it for you and send you on your way :)
Happy drawing!
Next Steps:
- 1 Page of Ghosted Lines (with ellipses optional)

Nice, I can see the improvement ^^ Definitely include that exercise in future warm ups to keep on training your lines! You can head onto the 250 Box Challenge now, good luck and have fun!

Cottonwood Arts Sketchbooks
These are my favourite sketchbooks, hands down. Move aside Moleskine, you overpriced gimmick. These sketchbooks are made by entertainment industry professionals down in Los Angeles, with concept artists in mind. They have a wide variety of sketchbooks, such as toned sketchbooks that let you work both towards light and towards dark values, as well as books where every second sheet is a semitransparent vellum.
