Hello artemisjy, congrats on completing lesson one. I'll be taking a look at your submission today.

Lines

Super Imposed Lines: These are off to a good start, I can see you placed your pen down carefully on the starting dot for each line becuase they only fray at one end. They're mostly looking smooth and confident too, good job.

Ghosted Lines and Ghosted planes: These are looking pretty good. You're using the ghosting method to good effect. Sometimes you miss or overshoot the second point slightly, but you'll get more accurate with practice.

Ellipses

Tables of Ellipses: Really good! Overall looking smooth and confident, and you've drawn through the vast majority of them 2-3 times. Nice work keeping each ellipse touching each other, without overlapping.

Ellipses in Planes: It looks like you did this exercise twice? Overall you did a good job here, it's just a little harder to review with the extra lines there. Looking smooth and confident, nice work.

Ellipses in Funnels: Great work, your allignmet is good and you've even shifted the degree of the ellipses as you move out from the smallest one in the centre.

Boxes

Plotted Perspective: Good work.

Rough Perspective: You have a couple of missing back edges on the boxes on the first page, but you remembered them all on the second one, good job. Overall your box construction looks really solid, you've done a great job keeping your horizontal lines parallel to the horizon line and your verticals perpendicular to it, very nice. I am seeing a few repeating lines in this exercise though. No matter how off a line is, a student should never repeat it, they should keep the line as it if were correct and move on. You are doing a good job extending the lines back on your boxes to check your work. As you can see some of your perspective estimations were quite off but that will become more intuitive with practice.

Rotated Boxes: Good job keeping your edges nice and close together, and you've done a decent job with the rotation too. There are a couple of back edges missing on some of the furthermost boxes but this is still a really good effort on a difficult exercise, welll done.

Organic Perspective: Good job varying the size of your boxes to give a sense of depth. I can see your boxes rotating as you move them through space, well done. Your box constructions are decent for the most part but there are some wonky ones here and there so the 250 box challenge will be a great next step for you.

Next Steps:

Well done completing lesson one, this was a solid homework submission.

Please move on to the 250 box challenge.

Remember to use the lesson one exercises for your warm ups.

Thanks so much for the detailed critique, they're super helpful!

The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
PureRef

PureRef

This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.

When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.

Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
