Hi

Congratulations of finishing your homework! Now lets take a dive:

Lines

Superimposed lines: Very good, they have a consistent trajectory. However the first page is a little empty, remember to start with small ones and steadily increase the length as you progress through the page. And don't use ballpoint keep it with ink.

Ghosted Lines: They're nice and have a overall good precision and smoothness, keep in mind to lift your pen from the page as soon you reach the endpoint to avoid overshooting. Some have a slight curvature, focus on using your shoulder and even if you are and still face this problem try to consciously arch on the opposite direction. Also, holding your pen extremely tight can sometimes result in little curves at the beginning of the line, remember to not put much tension on your hand, that will only hurt your wrist, keep it relaxed.

Ghosted Planes: Same thing as the ghosted lines.

Ellipses

Tables: You should keep your ellipses more consistent. Most of them are varying within the bounds you set, for example the very first one is composed of circles and ellipses. Within each part strive to make them in the same degree as its explained here. This is of core importance for this exercise, work within the bounds and follow the rules that are set in them. Starts with a long and thin ellipse? Should finish with one as well, the angles may vary but you should always strive to maintain a similar(if not equal) minor axis for each section. Aside from that I can see that you got the idea of drawing trough the ellipses more than once and how they should fit snugly with each other.

Funnels: The ellipses should be aligned to the minor axis cutting them in two equal halves. The lines between the arcs are mostly misaligned with them, the purpose here getting used to the minor axis, therefore is important that it is placed correctly in order to keep them consistent and more easy to visualize if you are following it right. Of course you don't need to make the funnel with computer precision but try to be more accurate, take your time and don't rush.

Boxes

Rough perspective: Your lines here seem more wobbly and arched than the previous exercises, don't be afraid of keep going, try not to stop to think if your lines are gonna match up with each other in the middle of the way, this is why the ghosting method is essential. Ghost them double/triple times if you need and you'll have less problems in this case.

Rotated boxes: Good job! This one is hard and you did well for now.

Organic perspective: Also good job, some boxes look a bit off but that's absolutely not a big problem for now as your next step is the 250 box challenge.

Final thoughts

You got the main gist of the lesson, I am not gonna suggest for any revisions HOWEVER I strongly recommend you to read the table of ellipses and funnels exercise enunciated and watch the videos again as those exercises are gonna follow you through the entirety of the course (and hopefully beyond) because you'll come back to them in your warmups that are ESSENTIAL to improving!

Next Steps:

Next step is 250 box challenge! Good luck.

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw

Right from when students hit the 50% rule early on in Lesson 0, they ask the same question - "What am I supposed to draw?"

It's not magic. We're made to think that when someone just whips off interesting things to draw, that they're gifted in a way that we are not. The problem isn't that we don't have ideas - it's that the ideas we have are so vague, they feel like nothing at all. In this course, we're going to look at how we can explore, pursue, and develop those fuzzy notions into something more concrete.
