Hi,

I will be doing a review of your Lesson 1 Homework. Let me just start by saying congratulations on a job well done! I know it can be intimidating, so way to push through on everything!

1. Superimposed Lines: The key here is to make confident smooth marks as you draw from your shoulder/arm. You did well with this, and it looks like you just went for it each time, which is great. The longer lines are a bit more wobbly, but that's to be expected. There's fraying only appearing at the ends, which is what you're aiming for. Good job with the arcs as well, way better than I did at first!

2. Ghosted Lines: Great job. your lines are straight and confident, and you pretty much nailed the start and end points. Well done!

3. Ghosted Planes: Some of your lines on these pages have a bit of "correction wobble," like you may have tried to fix the trajectory midway through, but overall they look great. The lines connecting the corners of the planes look good, and for the most part are intersecting right where they should be. Good job!

4. Tables of Ellipses: Wow, these look great! You’ve set up your page correctly and your Ellipses are nice and snug plus you’ve drawn through your ellipses multiple times, with only a couple noticeable exceptions. Your shapes are confident and consistent, with only a handful of elipses getting a little "eggy" here and there. Nice!

5. Ellipses in Planes: Very good job on this one. Again, your marks are confident, and you did a good job of getting the elipses to the edges of most of the planes.

6. Funnels: A couple of these have pretty flat elipses along the edges where they touch each other. Try to concentrate more on the shapes and less on the way they fit. Overall though, you kept them well within bounds and the center lines all look good, so well done!

7. Plotted Perspective:This one kinda messes with your eyes and brain. You’ve followed the instructions to the letter and used a ruler to plot all your boxes in two point perspective as per the guidelines (it almost looks like there might have been a line or two drawn without a ruler, but that may just be my imagination and if so I apologize). Your verticals are mostly perpendicular, but obviously you have some notable exceptions. Don't worry, it'll get better with practice. All your perspective lines are properly approaching the vanishing points, and your hatching is pretty consistent apart from the one box going the opposite direction. Good job!

8. Rough Perspective: These pages are a little rougher than some of your others, but overall you did a good job here. You've followed the instructions pretty well, but concentrate on the box edges being horizontal and vertical before anything else. Your receding edges are properly headed toward the vanishing point. Some better than others, but trust me when I say this skill will get much better with practice. Stay intentional about ghosting your lines and making your marks with confidence.

9. Rotated Boxes: This one's a bugger isn't it! You set the page up correctly, which is a great start, and the central "T" of boxes look pretty good. But as you moved away from that central box you lost the "roundness" and your sphere kinda turned into an egg. It's not bad at all, and I'm not going to mark it incomplete or anything, but I bet you'd do it better if you tried again. For me it helped to rotate the paper and concentrate on symmetry. You did keep the spacing between your boxes nicely consistent, and you also drew all the boxes in the set (which I personally didn't the first time, so good job). Also, nice job on the shading, that can be hard to keep track of. Very well done.

10. Organic Perspective: Your page is set up correctly, and your flowing lines are confident and smooth. All your boxes feel like they're following a path as expected, but you definitely lost the correct perspective on a lot of them, and there's not a lot of variety in the rotation. Remember to always use the Y method (https://youtu.be/evGWbjDI6xQ?si=AiM15wFmKtnCNivY) when constructing 3-point perspective boxes. That will help you stay on track as you go. No need to do it again before moving on, but I suggest taking another couple stabs at this one for your own edification.

As you move through these lessons always make sure to follow the 50% rule, Keep up with your warm ups (10-15 minutes of timed exercise on any of these early assignments) and if needed, go over the lessons again. Lastly, don't forget to review the work of your peers once you've completed a lesson.

Good luck!

Hello there, I m nubiantool95 from discord and I will be reviewing your homework.

First of congrats on finishing Lesson 1. It is a tremendous achievement.

From what I see you understood the guides and rules laid out on the videos and websites.

On your line the only comment I have is your lines could be smoother. You need to follow through with your stroke. On the ellipses (I know they are a pain in the butt) try and make them fluid and consistent and touching all sides. Your boxes are well done. And add these to your warmup and continue to the 250 boxes challenge.
