Welcome to drawabox, and a big congrats on making it past Lesson 1. I’m TA Benj, and I’ll be taking a look at how you did, today.

Starting off, your superimposed lines are smooth, properly lined up at the start, and of a consistent trajectory. The arcing ones less so, but I suspect that this is more due to their size (the smaller a mark, the harder it is to engage the shoulder for it), so no worries there. Nice work on your ghosted lines/planes, too – they’re quite confident. I do notice that you have a habit of stopping short of your end point. If you have to choose between the two, I believe overshooting to be the better option, since with it, you at least know for sure whether you would’ve nailed the end point.

The table of ellipses exercise looks good. There’s not a great deal of variety to your degrees/angles, here, but what is here is well drawn. Your pen seems to dance on and off the page, however, if I’m reading this correctly. Try to be a bit more deliberate about your movements, then. You don’t want to be surprised when the pen makes contact with the page; you want it to do so because you told it to. In the ellipses in planes exercise, the ellipses do a good job of maintaining their prior smoothness/roundness, despite these more complicated frames. I appreciate that you don’t seem too stressed about having them fit inside of the planes perfectly – that’s correct. Finally, the ellipses in funnels are well done. The funnels themselves are big (huge positive!), and the ellipses fit inside of them snuggly, and are properly cut in equal, symmetrical halves. You’ve even increased their degrees as they move away from the center; nice work!

The box section starts off strong with the plotted perspective exercise – it’s looking nice and clean. Its lineweight is a little too overt, however. I personally find that I always need a little less than I think, so see if that works for you, too. The rough perspective exercise starts off strong, and shows some nice improvement throughout the set. All boxes (save for one – I think you can probably tell which one :P) are confidently drawn, and their depth lines properly heading to the vanishing point. Good attempt at the rotated boxes exercise. I can’t tell if you’ve drawn the reminder boxes, because the page is cut off, but it seems like you haven’t had much trouble rotating, so that’s alright. Your boxes are also snug, and mostly correct in the back, too, so this looks good, all around. Finally, good work with the organic perspective exercise. Your boxes are well constructed, and quite varied, and they also flow well, as a result of their size and foreshortening.
