Thanks for the feedback. It def was struggle to complete this while laying down/sitting on a bed but I tried to get as comfortable as I could and really focus on using the muscle from my shoulder rather than wrist. Also, for the first few exercises I only had access to a ball point pen until my boyfriend finally had time to go out and get a felt tip pen (bless him) lol. I felt good about my line work and ellipses seemed okay, def will need to practice ellipses more though. I did read the lesson and watched the video for the funnel exercise and tried to keep the same degree of my ellipses with a focus on the minor axis directly through the middle of the funnel, and tried to make them smaller as I got closer to the center of the funnel but I see what you mean now and I was for sure off with the minor axis through the middle. The rough perspective boxes were okay but had a hard time just drawing straight lines back to the vanishing point. The rotated boxes were def a challenge and I definitely saw it was off after referencing back to your final work in the lesson when I finished. I was not super confident about my organic perspective exercises either because when I was drawing through the boxes, it did make them very hard to look at and understand the initial positioning for them that I intended. Depending on what point I focused on looking at after drawing through the box, I could imagine the box stretching in different directions. (Hopefully that makes sense) Anyway, I might try the rotated boxes exercise again and will definitely revisit my rough perspective boxes for self correcting. Then, i'll try out the 250 box challenge next!

Ah, I did read that at the beginning of the lesson and forgot over the course of a week throughout completing the full lesson. My apologies, I will look into the patreon or submit to the subreddit. Thank you!

Hi uncomfortable! Here is my homework for lesson one. Thank you for providing the critique. I am on bedrest for two weeks after having hip surgery so drawing has occupied a very large portion of my time, and I am happy to finally have the time to improve my drawing skills. I have interest in learning traditional drawing with the goal to eventually switch to digital.

Also, ignore the markings on the first two pages. I chose a couple pages out of my sketchbook that were lightly used for the line work exercises.

Thanks again!
