Hi! I just recently finished lesson 1 myself, so take the things I say with a grain of salt.

I'd say you're mostly doing well on these exercises, but obviously no-one's perfect.

Superimposed lines:

Fraying of the lines on the other end is fine, but you should be careful not to have any on the beginning end of the line.

Ellipses in planes & funnels:

I noticed that a lot of your ellipses are undershooting the edges of the boxes and funnels (not horribly but still), mine aren't perfect either but what seemed to help was to start ghosting the ellipses in the planes with a sort of diamond shape with the corners being at the centers of the sides of the planes. After you can ghost the diamond shape and hit all the sides, you start softening it into an ellipse, if that makes sense?

Rough perspective:

Be careful to keep all the lines going where they're supposed to. Some of the lines that are supposed to be vertical (this is "2-point" perspective), are a bit crooked. Having the vertical lines be as straight as possible also helps with getting the other lines.

Rotated boxes & organic perspective:

In the rotated boxes excersize it's crucial to keep the boxes consistent on all sides. In the organic boxes exersize the perspectives aren't very consistent. You should think about what point of each box is the closest to the viewer/ camera to help with figuring out where the vanishing points for the boxes are.

Next Steps:

I think you'll have plenty of time to get your boxes in order by making 250 of them! That's what I personally am moving onto next, but it is also what is recommended by Uncomfortable before getting into Lesson 2.

There isn't really any luck involved in these exersizes so I'll say "Good work ethic!" to you instead.

Wow, I learned many things from your advises! I didn't think about those you mentioned. Yes, I definitely have a lot of room to understand perspective and I believe I will get better if I do 250 box challenge and I am going to.

Have a nice day and good work ethic!

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.
