Hi there Kammie! I'll be your doing your critique work for today. Let's see what you had created.

Starting off with your super imposed lines, your work here is really great solid. You had executed them with clear confidence without any hesitating at all, maintaining a clear consistent trajectory and a confident stroke.

Next your ghosted lines are showing quite a bit of hesitancy and arcing present in many of your lines. This improves somewhat in your ghosted planes but there does still seem to be quite a bit of wobbling present, so make sure you're rotating the page, taking the time to ghost the line, and executing with confidence.

Onto your tables of ellipses and you've done a good job here drawing through your ellipses, some of your larger ellipses are fairly confident but most of them are looking a bit stiff and wobbly. Additionally, there are some big gaps between the ellipses you've drawn here, so try to keep them tight up against each other. Onto your ellipses in planes and these are actually a little better. You've kept a more confident flow here and even though you don't often hit the four sides of the plane, it's clear you know what you're aware of what you're aiming for and prioritising the right things.

Next up, your funnels are again an improvement in terms of your ellipse confidence - you seem to have found a good flow to executing these, so make sure you keep practicing them and your accuracy will naturally improve. Most of your ellipses are somewhat skewed off the minor axis, mostly by about the same amount each time - this might mean you need to rotate your page to find an angle you're comfortable with that you can land the ellipse such that the minor axis cuts it into two equal halves. Try experimenting with this in your warm-ups and keep practicing.

Skipping down to your rough perspective, you're generally doing pretty well but I think what's missing is that you need to take an extra moment at the beginning of each individual mark to determine the specific behaviour you're looking to achieve with a given mark. That is, each line in this exercise falls into one of three possible categories, each with its own specific behaviour. Horizontal lines run parallel to the horizon, vertical lines run perpendicular to the horizon, and lines that recede into the distance converge towards the vanishing point. This last one is the obvious focus of this exercise, but it's easy to slip up a little with the first two categories, resulting in lines that slant slightly and undermine the solidity of the boxes themselves.

You kept things together pretty well on the first few boxes in your rotated boxes but they quickly got away from each other which always tends to result in a lot more guesswork than is strictly necessary. Now, because things got away from you a bit, you didn't manage a whole lot of rotation, but that's okay because this exercise (and the following one) are designed to introduce you to a new kind of spatial concept you can tackle in more depth later on.

Finally, you've created some interesting compositions with your organic perspective. There's a good sense of scale being conveyed by the variation in size of your boxes. That said, your line quality here has really suffered and there's a significant amount of wobbling present. Naturally, your boxes have some divergence going on, but that's fully expected at this stage.

Overall you did fairly a good job in taking your time and energy in completing lesson 1, so give yourself a pat on your back. Before moving on to the 250 box challenge where you will have ample of oppotunity to improve, I would like to see 1 more page of ghosted lines exercises and 1 more page of tables of ellipses exercise. Don't give up just yet!
