Hi Brul!

Thank you for your follow up!

As for how critiques go -- since it relies on community members to assess submissions, there’s unfortunately no telling of how quickly they will be done before you tackle the next exercise (especially with the current influx of submissions). But we try to get through them. If you ever get stuck or want some feedback as you work on your lesson/challenge, Discord's a great community to help with this. Also, no worries that you’ve started the box challenge – keep at it and apply what you've learned from Lesson 1.

Anyway, onwards to your submission!

First, let’s talk about the lines. I’m glad to hear you are making use of the ghosting method, as should be done with every mark you mark. As for using dots, I hope you found that it is a useful tool (and I can see much better placement of the lines in your Rotated Boxes exercise!). Placing dots is an integral part of planning out your marks (and you can move the dots too before you commit to a line!), so make sure you use them in your box challenges and onward. :)

There are some nice, confident lines throughout your submission. However, I am still noticing some hesitancy and wobbliness at times as you mark your line towards the target. In addition to ghosting, make sure to use your shoulder and rotate the page if you aren’t already doing so.

I also see there are still corrected lines, so fight that urge to correct a line no matter how wrong it looks. Again, take your time planning your lines.

Rough Perspective:

There is some improvement in these boxes from your first submission, so nice job. Some horizontal lines are parallel to the horizon line, and vertical lines perpendicular to it; which is what we want to see, so nicely done on those. Sometimes, however, the horizontal and vertical lines tend to stray off diagonally at times, but it is certainly challenging to maintain the parallel and perpendicular nature, respectively, to the horizon line.

Rotated Boxes:

A much more solid attempt; great job getting through this! The boxes along the horizontal axis are generally rotating, so nice job. The boxes along the vertical line aren’t quite rotating as much. I’ve made a few notes here to explain what I am seeing, which I hope provides some clarification.

Organic Perspective:

There is quite a bit of dramatic foreshortening occurring in the first few boxes, which for this exercise we want to avoid. Dramatic foreshortening is reserved for objects that are really big or really close to the viewer’s eye. With this exercise, we’re seeing the boxes rotate and gradually move away from the viewer, so the foreshortening should be shallow. But you'll get to work on some foreshortening as you go along your box challenges.

With that, I'll mark this submission as complete! Congratulations on completing Lesson 1!
