Hello there congrats on finishing lesson one, for future lessons try and submit all the exercises in one file/album.

Lines

The superimpossed lines are done in pencil, Its hard to make out certian aspects of the lines, They do seem mostly confident Most have fraying on on the ends but I see a good number with fraying on the start and the ends. Some of your superimpossed lines fray on both ends like the following. After ghosting put your pen at the start point then execute the line with the same confidence You are using now.

The ghosted lines look good overall ,some are a bit bendy , try drawing with more speed. A bit more speed, after ghosting them of course. The ghosted planes lines are overall good but I would say the same as for the plotted lines.

Ellipses

Ghosted plane ellipses look confident, remember to always ghost these.

In the table of ellipses, there are manny ellipses not touching the bounds/ walls of the ellipse and many gaps between ellispes. Ellipses should be touching but not overlapping and they should be touching the bounds/walls of the tables.

Ghost all your ellipses in the places you want to drawn them and only drawn them in once you have confidence in the motion.

You are missing the funnel exercise here

Boxes

i dont see the plotted perspective either or the rotated boxes

Organic perspective looks good and flows but do not draw over lines. IF the line tou drawn in unsatisfactory you move on.

Rough perspective looks good, remember the vertical lines are perpendicular to the horizon and the horizontal lines of the boxes are paralell to the horizon. this will help you plot your lines.

Ghost the lines you have plotted and drawn them with confidence, If the lines is unsatisfactory move on to the next line.

Sorry for the late reply , I hope you moved on. In the rotated boxes , there are many non straight lines, draw without confidence. remember plot lines and draw them with confidence.You have extra rows, there should only be 5, you have 7. Try and copy the video lesson line for line to get how you achieve the rotation.

The plotted perspective looks okay.

The ellipses are not touching their bounds. A good number seem really confident. Keep ghosting them and working on them. Keep working on improvement.

Good luck :) on to the 250 box challenge.

Let's be real here for a second: fineliners can get pricey. It varies from brand to brand, store to store, and country to country, but good fineliners like the Staedtler Pigment Liner (my personal brand favourite) can cost an arm and a leg. I remember finding them being sold individually at a Michael's for $4-$5 each. That's highway robbery right there.

Now, we're not a big company ourselves or anything, but we have been in a position to periodically import large batches of pens that we've sourced ourselves - using the wholesale route to keep costs down, and then to split the savings between getting pens to you for cheaper, and setting some aside to one day produce our own.

These pens are each hand-tested (on a little card we include in the package) to avoid sending out any duds (another problem with pens sold in stores). We also checked out a handful of different options before settling on this supplier - mainly looking for pens that were as close to the Staedtler Pigment Liner. If I'm being honest, I think these might even perform a little better, at least for our use case in this course.

We've also tested their longevity. We've found that if we're reasonably gentle with them, we can get through all of Lesson 1, and halfway through the box challenge. We actually had ScyllaStew test them while recording realtime videos of her working through the lesson work, which you can check out here, along with a variety of reviews of other brands.

Now, I will say this - we're only really in a position to make this an attractive offer for those in the continental United States (where we can offer shipping for free). We do ship internationally, but between the shipping prices and shipping times, it's probably not the best offer you can find - though this may depend. We also straight up can't ship to the UK, thanks to some fairly new restrictions they've put into place relating to their Brexit transition. I know that's a bummer - I'm Canadian myself - but hopefully one day we can expand things more meaningfully to the rest of the world.
