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.
Draw A Box Lesson 1- Lines, Ellipses, and Boxes https://imgur.com/gallery/qRYFTZC
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!

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!
