Congratulations on completing lesson 1! It was a real pleasure to review your submission. Let's go over each section and see your progress!
Good job not fraying on both ends, and I like the work you did with curving lines.
Ghosted lines look generally excellent. There is a bit of wobble in the lines, but this will improve with time. Keep practicing!
Excellent work on ghosted planes as well. I would recommend trying more extreme planes -- that is, ones that are very far away from being rectangles. This will help you practice ghosted lines of greatly varying lengths, and it's also fun to fill the paper with planes of widly varying shapes -- almost like a jigsaw puzzle.
Your ellipse tables look very good. There's a little bit of overlapping between ellipses, so you might want to go slightly slower, making sure to position your hand so it's right above the boundary line between the circle you're currently drawing and the next circle. This will also help when you "overshoot" the boundary, as you did on occasion like in row 3 of column 2 in the first ellipse table page.
Excellent work on ellipses in planes. Be careful that your lines don't wobble. Your ellipses are about as good as they come.
Your work in keeping the ellipses inside the funnel boundaries is all but perfect. Focus on making sure that the minor axis of the funnels divides each ellipse cleanly in two. Sometimes you allow your ellipses to skew, especially in the small funnel in the top right.
Excellent work on plotted perspective, and same thing for rough perspective.
Good work on rotated boxes.
Good use of line weight on organic perspective, and I also like how you obscured the parts of some boxes with others.
Next Steps:
I recommend that you move on to the 250 box challenge. As you do so, make sure to keep practicing ellipses.
May I ask you how you scan your work? It looks very good!
Best of luck on your artistic journey!
I agree on most points that were brought up. It's a very good submission - good job!
I would add that with your ellipses (even though I can see you took your time and made sure they touch etc.) there seems to be quite a bit of wobble. Make sure to ghost as many times as you need and then commit to drawing it using your shoulder pivot. The accuracy will come later.
This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.
When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.
Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
