Lesson 1: Lines, Ellipses and Boxes
6:18 PM, Monday November 9th 2020
Hi,
Here's my homework for lessons 01. Any feedback would be most welcome...
Thanks in advance.

Lines
Your lines are really good. Nothing to point out in them in particular.
Ellipses
Ellipses are good, there is few things I would like to talk about though. You seem to miss the amount of loops you make, one is too little, two is perfect, three is undesired but can happen, four is overkill. You seem to mostly make two loops, but you happen to make single loops, three loops or even four loops ocasionally. You need to remember to strike for making two loops, it is important habit to have for later lessons.
Perspective
Perspective is good, tho I have few objections to rotated boxes. First, you forgot to add hatching on the inside sides of boxes in box sphere, it is part of this exercise. Second, you made the box sphere too small and the whole drawing look small because of it, remember to use the whole page for every DaB exercise, pratice in big scale has huge impact on amount you learn, you can see your mistakes more clearly, you make more moves with your shoulder and you pratice drawing in big scale so small scale will be no problem.
I would advise making a hatching in rotatet boxes exercise, but it is up to you.
Overall great job, proud of you. You can go to 250 box challange, just rember about what I talked above.
Next Steps:
First of all, congratulations on finishing lesson 1! Your next step is the box challenge.
As I marked this as complete, you are now qualified to critique lesson 1 submissions.
-Doing critiques is a way of learning and solidifying concepts.
-Another thing is that as the number of current submissions is super high, if you critique some critiques, those would be less critiques I'd have to critique before reaching your next submissions, so you'd get your critiques faster.
It's totally optional of course, I won't force anyone to give critiques. But me and the other people who are critiquing would be super grateful if you gave it a shot.
Good luck on the box challenge, and keep up the good work!
NOTE: here's a quick guide on critiquing lesson 1 submissions.
There are a few people that feel hesitant to critique because they feel they aren't ready to it so hopefully it'll help you in case you are one of those people.
Right from when students hit the 50% rule early on in Lesson 0, they ask the same question - "What am I supposed to draw?"
It's not magic. We're made to think that when someone just whips off interesting things to draw, that they're gifted in a way that we are not. The problem isn't that we don't have ideas - it's that the ideas we have are so vague, they feel like nothing at all. In this course, we're going to look at how we can explore, pursue, and develop those fuzzy notions into something more concrete.
