Hello kctsang!

Overall, you have done a decent job!

Lines

Your lines are overall confident with smooth and continuous flow. There is just a couple that waver a bit as you draw towards the targeted point. To note, confidence should take precedence and be prioritized before accuracy. It’s ok that the lines aren’t fully accurate, as it is imperative to first develop the shoulder muscle memory to draw out smooth, confident strokes. So continue to ghost and execute every line with your shoulder. Essentially, a confident stroke that is slightly inaccurate is better than an accurate but wobbly line. But really, overall you’re off to a nice start.

Ellipses

Ellipses are off to a good start and are generally confident; just a couple have a little wobble. They have a pretty good roundedness to them. With that said, there are some that are quite loose compared to your other ellipses. This could mean you’re drawing the ellipse a little too fast. As you continue to practice ellipses in your warm ups, experiment with the speed such as slowing down a bit (not so much that they will create wobble) to see if that will work for you. Also remember to ghost each ellipse before drawing them.

Ellipses in the funnel are generally aligned to the minor axis.

Nice job drawing through each ellipses appropriately (2-3 times).

Finally, there are a few instances where you end the ellipse with a straight tail or hook away from the original form. As you’re coming to the end of drawing the ellipse, lift your pen while you continue to motion the ellipse instead of away from the ellipse.

Boxes

As you continue to go through your boxes, I notice your lines generally remain confident, which is awesome! However, there are repeating/corrected lines. No matter how tempting it is to correct an errant line, do not correct or repeat over it to correct it. To help prevent this, take your time with planning with dots. The great thing about dots is you don’t have to commit to the very first dot(s) you place. They can be moved around as you see fit before you commit to a line. But once you draw the line, stick with what you have even if it’s wrong.

When applying lineweight, draw over the original line confidently (just as with superimposed lines) and just once. It’s ok that it is subtle.

Rough perspective

With a couple of exceptions, you’ve done a pretty nice job maintaining horizontal lines to be parallel to the horizon line, and vertical lines perpendicular to it.

Rotating boxes

Great job getting through this exercise! The boxes are generally rotating along the vertical and horizontal axes. Focusing on the boxes along these axes, the boxes adjacent to the center box have very subtle rotation, so don’t be afraid to exaggerate it a little more and push the VP a little further out. As the boxes move outwards, there are some that aren’t quite rotating, meaning they are sharing the same or a similar VP. Otherwise, the boxes are fairly well neighbored together; though a few could be packed in a little tighter (but I’m just nitpicking). Nice job drawing through each box.

Organic perspective

As the boxes get slightly smaller on the path, you’ve conveyed a sense that they move slightly away from the viewer. In terms of perspective, there are some sets of parallel lines that diverge away, making planes that are further away appear to get larger instead of slightly smaller. But no worries, you’ll have plenty of practice in the 250 Box Challenge!

With that said, congratulations on completing lesson 1!
