Hi there, I'll be handling your lesson 1 critique.

Let's start by looking at your Lines section.

Your super imposed lines are off to a good start, you do get the occasional arcing along with the very small amount of fraying you have on all your lines this may be due to you slowing down to try and worry about your accuracy. It's fairly normal for people to have a lot of fraying in their long and curved lines at this point so you're doing well, just have to make sure you're not sacrificing line confidence or using your shoulder properly for accuracy.

Once we get to the ghosted lines and planes I can see that the majority of your lines are looking really well done. A few things I notice that are worth pointing out are that you attempt to redraw a few of your lines which is a habit you don't want to build. Part of working with ink is learning to work with our mistakes, and redrawing doesn't erase the mistake just make things look worse and less tidy. Redrawing aside, there are a few cases where you noticeably wobble your lines to their stopping point, this is confirmation that you're worrying about accuracy a bit too much at this point. Remember that right now our goal is just straight confident lines, if we need to overshoot our stopping point that's totally fine. With mileage we'll improve our muscle memory and begin to hit our ending points more accurately. It's better to overshoot the ending point then undershoot it, you may find that instead of stopping the pen completely before lifting it off the page that instead lifting it while moving your arm provides you better results.

On to your Ellipses.

I'm happy to see that you're drawing through your ellipses and experimenting with different shapes and sizes in this section.

Your table of ellipses and ellipses in planes are looking great. you're executing them confidently which results in them being smooth and round. There are a few minor cases of your worry for accuracy shows where you end up with pinched ends and squared edges while attempting to keep them within the boundaries you've created but with this pointed out and some more mileage it's something you'll overcome in no time I imagine.

Your ellipes in funnels are looking nicely divided by the central minor axis, just remember that it's your goal while doing this as a warm up in the future. People have the tendency to forget.

Lastly let's go over your Boxes.

Great job on the plotted perspective exercise.

In the rough perspective exercise you did a good job at keeping your horizontal lines parallel and your vertical lines perpendicular to the horizon. Your convergences also end up in the general area of the vanishing point which is a sign you understand the perspective concepts being shown here. Your line quality does lower a bit in this exercise which is fairly normal, students tend to be focused on new concepts so they forget to apply older ones. You have a bit of wavering occurring so just remember that you want to plan your lines using the ghosted method and then in one confident motion lay your mark on the page. I won't hamper on accuracy too much here as I've gone over it earlier.

The last two exercises are meant to be a challenge, so it's an accomplishment to complete them.

You did a good job at keeping your boxes tidy and evenly spaced in the rotated box exercise which resulted in your keeping the overall image together. Something worth noting however is that you didn't achieve as much rotation as it appears you did, you fell into a very common mistake where you confused the natural convergences of perspective with rotation. You can read more about the mistake here. You did a good job in the corner sections however which is interesting as it's usually the area most people struggle with.

You manage to show that you understand the concept that a box should be smaller the further away from a viewer it is in the organic perspective exercise. Your boxes could be constructed a bit more solidly but this is a great start and you'll gain further understanding of how to do so once you work through the 250 box challenge.

With that said I think you've shown that you grasp the concepts being taught in this lesson and will be marking your lesson as complete. You do need to work on your confidence in mark making but this is something you'll easily work out through warm ups, so I'll be moving you on to the 250 box challenge where you'll gain a better understanding of working in 3D space and with multiple vanishing points.

Good work so far, and good luck with the challenge.
