Sometimes they look like empty (especially last ones) because my brain tricked me so hard.

Hello there congrats on starting the drawabox jouney and finishing one lesson well on to the critique

Lines

Your superimpossed lines are nice and confident, there is fraying on the ends which is okay at this point. Keep ghosting and executing those lines. The ghosted lines also look good overall, nice confident lines. Try drawing them a bit faster to get rid of the little bit of wobbles. The ghosted planes are also good overall.

Ellipses

Those are some confident ellipses, There are some gaps where ellipses dont touch in the table, and some ellipses not touching table walls, the pitfalls here

I see one ellipse thats not drawn through, all ellipses should be drawn through. Your funnels lookgood too follwing the lesson well.

Boxes

Good plotted perspecive, good rough perspective , just keep in mind in rough perspective that the vertical lines of the boxes are perpendicular to the horizon and the horizontal lines are paralell to the horizon.

The rotated boxes are also good, tight knit , thats a very very good first attempt.

Organic perspective is also good, it does not look like you plotted your lines though.

You can travel to the land of the 250 boxes :) good luck

Next Steps:

You can go do the 250 box challenge

Faber Castell PITT Artist Pens

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.
