Here is my critique for you.

For the superimposed lines, you have lines which are fraying on both sides. It's okay to have lines which are fraying on the far end since accuracy is developed over time, but it's not okay to have them fray at the starting end. This exercise is all about confidence, and with confidence, there must be some preparation involved. You must take the time to position your pen correctly at the starting point every time before you draw your line.

For Ghosted Lines, some of your lines are wobbly. Make sure you take your time to plan out each line so that you can draw with confidence. Draw from the shoulder and not from the wrist. Even if your line is not entirely accurate, you should be prioritizing having confident and smooth lines. Accuracy is something that will develop over practice. Also, it might be a good idea to make your plotted points a bit smaller, so that you can practice taking your time more when trying to aim for higher precision.

For Ghosted Planes, some of your lines tend to be arcing. If you have difficulty keeping them straight while still drawing from the shoulder (which you should be doing as much as you can), try arcing them slightly in the other direction, but do so with intention. Over time, this will compensate for the problem and you won't have to be as conscious when trying to draw them straight.

For Tables of Ellipses, some of your ellipses tend to either be overlapping or not touching with one another. But it seems as if you were actually aiming for them to just touch one another, just like the instructions have asked. Also, you must draw through your ellipses either two or three times (preferably two). Doing so gives you more confidence in your line work, and also helps you to build more muscle memory.

For Ellipses in Planes, around half of your ellipses are deformed. Maintaining smooth and confident lines should be a priority over anything else. Yes, these planes can be awkward shapes to fit an ellipse in, but that's the point of the exercise - to force yourself to focus on confidence more than accuracy. It doesn't mean you shouldn't try to fit your ellipses perfectly inside, though. Again, draw through your ellipses more than once to reinforce that sense of confidence.

For Funnels, when you draw the straight lines and arcs that are placed before you draw the actual ellipses inside them, just draw each line once. Even if you make a mistake in where you place your lines, don't try to redraw them. It's better for you to be able to identify your mistakes that way. And plus, attempting to fix a mistake by having repeating lines often just results in uneven and scratchy lines, which can really ruin the flow of your line work. If you have to, just draw your ellipses where those lines would have been if you had drawn them in the correct position otherwise. Keep your ellipses aligned to the minor axis also, and don't make them slanted. However, it seems as if you were trying to avoid this. Again, draw through your ellipses and don't have them overlap one another. And try to extend your straight lines all the way out (or equivalently, make your ellipses stop just before they pass the ends of each line).

For Plotted Perspective, everything seems to be correct except for how you have added line weight to your lines. Remember that line weight should be added mostly to the silhouette, while a little bit less to the internal edges that face the viewer, and even less for the ones sitting on the opposite side of the form.

For Rough Perspective, while your perspective is quite off, perfection not so much the main focus of the exercise. One of the main goals in this exercise is to understand the idea of how lines converge in one point perspective, even when you don't plot out vanishing point lines. Don't make your boxes too long either. It might make it easier to estimate the perspective of your forms having them be this way, but it kind of defeats the purpose of the exercise. Also, aim for confident and smooth lines instead of wobbly ones. Don't repeat lines when you make a mistake.

For Rotated Boxes, keep your lines smooth. Again, don't go repeating your lines where you have made mistakes. Only use repeating lines for adding weight thickness. And also, add some line weight on the edges of boxes that overlap one another. Hatching lines can also be used to help clarify which box is which.

For Organic Perspective, again, don't repeat your lines (unless you are adding weight thickness to your lines, which you should only be using up to a maximum of two lines). It results in them looking quite messy. Also, try to draw the entire silhouette of boxes that are behind one another, including internal lines that are facing the viewer. This helps you to understand better how forms sit in 3D space. Use line weight to clarify which box is in front of which. Finally, you may want to include some large boxes which are right at the very front, even if it's drawn only partially. This kind of framing often helps lead a viewer's eye more into the image.

Finally, make sure you read and understand thoroughly the purpose for each exercise. It will help you to get a better sense of the short-term goals you are trying to achieve for each one.

Even though i dont feel experienced enough to offer a comprehensive critique myself at this stage I do agree with the comments of consciouslemon9 below. Youve done extremely well though ....... keep going!

Overall the accuracy of the lines are pretty good. This however seems to be the first priority for you and you should consider doing warm ups where you focus on confidence and smoothness.

For rotated boxes you fell into the trap mentioned in the lesson that the brain thinks that you rotated more, but as you can see there is very little rotation achieved between some neighbouring boxes. Reading throughout the exercise you can see the note on mistakes "Not actually rotating". Consider comparing the intended lines with the neighbouring boxes and check if you end up with lines with the same vanishing point before committing to the line. The most difficult part of this exercise, at least for me, is the far side of the boxes. While smaller, they should still be similar to the front side, this is most easily noticed around the corners.

On Organic Perspective, the lines appear more smooth, but this is probably because there were repeated. Consider avoiding it repeating lines for this. Boxes overlapping are OK and we should completely see the boxes behind. Try having more boxes overlap and also try forcing yourself to have boxes with some different shapes and rotation, they all seem close to being cubes and mostly in the same rotation, especially on the second set. Also consider dramatically large boxes close to the viewer, this would force the overlapping, the brain might quietly suggest keeping things separate without overlaps and this should counter that.

Hello, thanks for your feedback on my work. I dont know how to critique your's but i will try my best. You should draw over your ellipse's twice or thrice.

Hi, you have done a good job here. your lines and boxes are done well. and you have used your space very wisely.

he suggested us to draw through the ellipsis twice, you could have done that. it'll give you more confidence and the ellipse will come out more smooth. Good work

Hi Delphine,

Here is my critique for you.

First off, your exercise in ghosted lines looks very well done, the lines are straight and are hitting the mark most of the time which would suggest you are drawing at a good pace while still having accuracy. Similarly, for the superimposed lines and ghosted planes you are drawing at a good pace and accuracy. There isn’t much to recommend here except to keep this up in future lessons and the 250 box challenge.

You’ve put a lot of work into the ellipse section, which is excellent. You are concentrating on where the ellipses are going to be and for the most part hitting the mark. One thing I do see is that there are times where you don’t quite get the right position and miss or overshoot some of the boundaries. What I would recommend in the future when drawing ellipses is to make sure you draw through them, what I mean by this is going around each ellipse 2 or 3 times before you lift your pen. This will give your arm a chance to familiarise itself with what it’s trying to draw on the first pass and improve on the second or third. Uncomfortable mentions this explicitly, for example in Tables of Ellipses exercise page.

For the box exercises, your plotted, rough, and organic perspective exercises look good. In the rough and organic perspective exercises, some lines seem wobbly and some have been corrected. For the wobbly lines make sure the paper is at a comfortable angle for your hand and that you ghost your lines and draw at a good pace as you did with the line exercises.

For the rotated boxes, you do a great job at keeping the boxes together and drawing through them. One thing I did notice is that the outer middle boxes do not seem as rotated as they should be, as if the vanishing point isn’t in the centre. To fix this I would recommend considering where the vanishing point is for every line and prioritising drawing the line towards the vanishing point over having the line match with the other lines.

All in all, you’ve done a great job with the first lesson and you are definitely ready to move on to the 250 box challenge. Keep it up!

All the best,

FlyingMoose
