Hi!

Your superimposed lines look good. Most of the ghosted lines are also pretty smooth, some of them arch a little bit. You can fix that by actively arching in the opposite direction.

In the ghosted planes exercise you have sometimes corrected the lines. Don’t do that, just leave the lines as they are no matter how off they are.

Some of your ellipses overlap. Try to keep them in the bounds. I would suggest for you to add exercises like funnels in your warm-up.

In the rough perspective exercise you have some wobbly lines in your boxes. You should focus on confidence in you lines and accuracy will come later.

In the organic perspective exercise you have some mistakes in perspective, but that’s completely normal and you will practice perspective in the 250 box challenge.

Next Steps:

Congrats on finishing Lesson 1!

You can now tackle the 250 box challange.

Don't forget to warm up before your session and don't forget to draw for yourself!

Thanks a lot for the critique! I will focus on making my lines more confident. I really do tend to correct them a lot, but I'll make an effor to stop.

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.
PureRef

PureRef

This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.

When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.

Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
