Hello and congrats on completing lesson one. My name is Rob and I'm a teaching assistant for Drawabox who will be handling your lesson one critique. Starting with your superimposed lines these are off to a fine start. You are keeping a clearly defined starting point with all of your wavering at the opposite end. Your ghosted lines and planes turned out well. You are using the ghosting method to good effect to get confident linework with a pretty decent deal of accuracy that will get better and better with practice.

Your tables of ellipses are coming along well. You are doing a good job drawing through your ellipses and focusing on a consistent smooth ellipse shape. This is carried over nicely into your ellipses in planes although you are deforming some of your ellipses at times. https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/13/deformed This is likely happening because you are too worried about accuracy and are probably slowing down your stroke to compensate. Try and rely a bit more on the muscle memory of the motion you build up while ghosting and almost make your mark without thinking. This will be less accurate at first. Although accuracy is our end goal it can't really be forced and tends to come through mileage and consistent practice more than anything. Your ellipses in funnels are having the same issues. Your ellipses are coming along fine but the main issue I'm seeing and it's present in later exercises as well is that you are overly concerned with accuracy and it's causing line wobble throughtout all of these exercises. Focus a bit more on getting smooth confident linework. Make sure you ghost your ellipse multiple and then try and make a confident mark without thinking about accuracy while making it. Rely on your muscle memory a bit more. This should lead to smoother linework.

The plotted perspective looks great, nothing to mention here. Your rough perspective exercises turned out pretty good. You are getting a mix of confident linework here along with some wobble creeping back into some of your lines. https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/9/wobbling This is probably happening because you are more concerned with accuracy now that you are constructing boxes and you are slowing down your stroke to compensate. 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.

Your rotated box exercise turned out pretty well. I like that you drew this nice and big as that really helps when dealing with complex spatial problems. You also did a good job drawing through your boxes and keeping your gaps fairly consistent. While you didn't nail the rotations perfectly this was a good effort overall. Once again the larger issue I'm seeing here is just wobbly and not confident linework which I'll address again in the final exercise. This is a great exercise to come back to after a few lessons to see how much your spatial thinking ability has improved. Your organic perspective exercises are looking pretty good. You seem to be getting more comfortable using the ghosting method and drawing from your shoulder for confident linework but I'm still seeing wobbly linework throughout here so this is something I definitely would like you to work on before moving on to the 250 box challenge. 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.

Before moving on to the 250 box challenge though I'd like you to get a bit more comfortable with confident linework while constructing boxes. Your organic perspective is showing good improvement overall in this regard but I'd still like you to be a bit more consistent before moving on to the 250 box challenge. You seemed to do much better in the early exercises like the ghosted lines and planes where you didn't get so hung up accuracy that you started slowing down your stroke. Your lines were less accurate but were more confident. At this current stage of development were are more concerned with getting a confident line than we are an accurate one. Accuracy comes from mileage more than anything else. So I'd like you to do one more page of the Organic perspective exercise with a focus on confident linework. Make sure you using dots to plan your marks and then ghost your line multiple times and then draw your line with confidence from your shoulder. Try and rely a bit more on the muscle memory you build up ghosting your line and almost make your mark without thinking. We want to handle all of the thinking during the planning stage. The problem you are running into is that once you are starting to make your mark you are also thinking about accuracy at the same time which is causing hesitation and is what is ultimately causing you to have wobbly linework. I can see throughout these exercises that you do know how to do this you just need to build up the habit a bit more.

Overall this was a solid submission outside of this issue. I think you are understanding most of the other concepts fairly well. So once you get that revision submitted I'll take a look and you can most likely move on to the 250 box challenge.
