Hello,
Great job on completing the lesson, I'm going to be marking your work and hopefully give you some helpful feedback
For you line exercises, you have done a great job.
For the first two everything seems to be have drawn with great confidence. In your planes exercise most of the lines are fine but some of them are a bit wobbly and faded(not sure if its just your pen) and don't have the same confidence. remember for each line you should be plotting out the start and end points and then apply the ghosting technique.
Your ellipses exercises are also done quite well.
You have drawn through them and done it with confidence. I do see that some of your lines are faded here also again probably to do with your pen. Its probably a good idea to sure your pen is working properly before starting the exercise as I can see it affecting the quality of your marks. One bit of feedback I can give here is that your ellipses don't fit that snugly with each other and sometimes go out of bounds. Although in your funnels exercises you improve quite a bit at getting them to fit snuggly together.
Your ellipses in planes also have the out of bounds issue but are otherwise great. I will just mention though that this is secondary to getting confident ellipses and its just something you can work on as you do these exercises for warm ups.
And finally your box exercises.
Not much to say about the Plotted Perspective exercise, great job there.
You've also done a great job on the rough perspective exercise, with a few lines here and there which are wobbly.
Your attempt at the rotated boxes exercises is also really good. I think one thing you can do to improve this massively though is when you are draing the hatching lines, you should also apply the ghosting method. this will make your hatching look much cleaner and nicer. currently the marks feels random and all over the place which ruins a lot of the effort you have put into this exercise.
Your organic perspective are great too, most of your lines have confidence with only a few here and there which are wobbly. I wouldnt worry about this too much because you progress through the lessons and do this exercises again as warm ups your lines will get more and more confident.
Overall I think you have shown a good understanding of these lessons and have completed the exercises properly. You can move onto the next exercise which is the 250 box challenge. Good Luck!
Next Steps:
onto the 250 box challenge
Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.
Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
