Hello! I'll be doing a critique for your Lesson 1 submission.

1.) Superimposed Lines

Very good! There is little to no fraying on the starting points and on some of the ends of the lines. While doing this exercise with longer lines makes it harder to end at a consistent point; in lines, confidence is more important than accuracy, which I feel is also prevalent in yours.

2.) Ghosted Lines

For your ghosted lines exercise; Good work on being able to successfully connect the starting and ending dots on some of them! Some of the lines may not have landed on the ending dot and/or have a very slight shakiness or arching, but I can feel some confidence in those line strokes; which is more important here than accuracy.

I can notice some slight arching on your lines which are more common on the more foreshortened planes. As what Comfy said to combat this, try purposely drawing the line at the opposite direction of where you tend to arch the line.

you can review this back on the ghosted lines video or on the lines section for Lesson 1.

3.) Ghosted Planes

These genuinely look good and clean too. I see one plane on your second sheet that you just made an "X" without dividing it into two halves vertically and horizontally and the same minor issues from your ghosted lines are also there. But overall its Good!

**4.) Ellipses (Table of Ellipses and Ellipses in Planes)

• Very good! you were able to keep some of the ellipses touching each other and keeping it within the bounds of the table, with little to no overlapping.

Some of your ellipses in planes go past being drawn through 2-3 times, which makes it harder to distinguish the actual ellipse, and sacrifices the confidence in the lines of the ellipse.

As for accuracy, it's pretty good. Since the majority of the ellipses fall into the middle points of the plane, or with just a little overlap.

however please do work on the confidence of your ellipses by possibly doing this exercise as part of your warm ups when you draw

5.) Funnels

Good work on keeping most of the ellipses within the bounds of the funnel!

As for drawbacks, the only major things I see, is the same issues with the prior ellipse exercises, wherein you go beyond 2-3 passes on your ellipses. Along with the minor axis not splitting the ellipses in two equal halves on some of the ellipses.

6.) plotted perspective

Magnificent! This is clean and surely taken the time when this was done!

in two-point perspective, all vertical lines should be perpendicular to the horizon; you have them on diagonals on the back side of some boxes.

Good work on overlapping some boxes together to get a better sense of space as it will help in the later lessons!

7.) Rough Perspective

From what I can observe, your horizontal and vertical lines are slanting. Since we are dealing with one point perspective in this exercise, all horizontal lines should be parralel to the horizon line; and all vertical lines should be perpendicular to the horizon line. Lastly, some of your boxes' rear face is skewed due to the same drawbacks in the plotted perspective which are diagonals on your boxes' back face. The back portion should be the same as the front portion, but just smaller due to it being more distant from the viewer.

Here's a personal recommendation that might help you understand how vanishing points work in perspective and how it behaves as an object rotates; it can also help you in the upcoming 250 boxes challenge so I believe it's worth a watch in addition to what is taught in Drawabox.

8.) rotated boxes

Magnificent! the boxes feel as though they are rotating, and you are able to have that spherical effect. The only thing I can see that would be of concern, would be your upward rotating boxes, you seem to have trouble on them and not tapering them as much compared to your downward rotating boxes. Which in reality, the upwards facing boxes are just more or less mirrored or reversed versions of the downward boxes.

9.) Organic Perspective

The drawbacks I see, is that on some tables, the farther box is bigger than the actual box that is closer in space to the viewer, which can cause some confusion, so do bear in mind the direction and flow of the boxes. And I see the same problems from the rough perspective on your lines. Please remember to apply the ghosting lines method when drawing the boxes.

I believe the 250 boxes challenge should set things right for these problems so as long as your mindful of not repeating them again and take the time to improve :)

Move on boy'o !
