Hey; welcome to drawabox, and congrats on completing lesson 1. Let’s look through it, shall we?

Starting with your superimposed lines, these are looking solid. They’re smooth, properly lined up at the start, and of a consistent trajectory. I do wish you’d tried a few more arcing ones, however. The ghosted lines/planes look quite confident, too, save for at the end. Try to be a little less conscious of the end point, if you can. Recall that it’s far more important for the resulting line to be smooth, and straight, than it is for it to be accurate.

If all we focus is their smoothness/roundness, your ellipses look fantastic. Unfortunately, we also need to think about whether they’ve been drawn through the correct number of times, which a lot of these haven’t. Try to rotate around them a full 2 times, and no more than 3. The ellipses in planes look better in this respect, and they do a good job of maintaining said smoothness/roundness, too. As for the funnels, though there’s the occasional misalignment, for which I’d recommend upping your ghosting time (and not forgetting to rotate your page as necessary!), the majority of them look good. Nice work maintaining a solid level of confidence, despite the increase in difficulty.

Your plotted perspective boxes seem to be missing their back lines, but are well done aside from that.

The rough perspective exercise is fairly well done. Your linework is confident, and your convergences solid. 2 things. Firstly, if you’ll remember from the ghosted lines section, each line is drawn once, and only once. Resist the urge to correct an incorrect line. Second, don’t feel obligated to stick to your original guesses. In fact, the recommendation is to plot a point, check it (by ghosting it all the way to the horizon), and alter it, as needed.

The rotated boxes exercise looks great. It’s fairly big, your boxes are snug, and properly rotating. I do wish you hadn’t given up on the hatching, but that’s alright. As for any issues, the only one I notice is the occasional one, regarding the convergence of some of your lines, but this is not only expected, but something that we’ll be working on soon, in the upcoming box challenge.

The plotted perspective exercise looks solid, what with the consistent increase in size, and constant, shallow foreshortening, but I’m wondering if you used the ghosting method for it. Rather than plotting points down, as a way to plan the convergence, and length of each line, it seems like you just extended them arbitrarily, and met them from the other side. If so, know that that’s incorrect. The ghosting method is to be applied to every single mark that you make, including these.
