Hiya, and welcome! I’ll be looking through this~

Starting off, the first thing I notice in the lines section is a serious lack of confidence. This is usually an indication that the student is more interested in the accuracy of their lines, which, as you’ll remember from the common mistakes section, is incorrect. It’s more important for our lines to be smooth, and confident, than it is for them to be accurate. This is because a confident line, even if inaccurate, can be used as a baseline for a solid construction, whereas a wobbly line, however accurate, cannot. I skipped ahead to the box section, to see if this a problem that persists, and it is not, so I’ll not ask for a redo of any of these exercises, but be particularly mindful of this in the future. Other than that, the only other thing I’d like to recommend is that you place start/end points for all of your ghosted lines- including the non-diagonal center lines of your planes.

Moving on to the ellipse section, the same focus on accuracy, at the expense of confidence, is observed. The previous advice applies here, too. It’s perfectly fine for an ellipse to go over its frame, or for its second and third rotations to not match up the first. Accuracy is something that we can train over time. Confidence, is not. If you don’t force yourself to be confident from the start, you’ll develop bad habits in the long run. Outside of that, there’s the issue of the ellipses in the ellipses in planes exercise not being particularly respectful of the perspective in some of the more skewed planes, but that isn’t particularly important.

The box section is fairly well done. One thing that I’d like to remind you of is the rules regarding automatic reinforcing. You should never correct an incorrect line. This, of course, refers to re-drawing a line that comes out wrong, but also extending a line that stops short. It’s generally far wiser to simply leave our mistakes be. In the rough perspective exercise, be mindful that, because of rules of perspective, the back side of each box is of a similar shape to the front side, but smaller. So, for example, if the front side is a square, the back side cannot be a rectangle. If your points suggest that it is, they’re incorrect, so ignore them, and place some new ones. Be careful, also, not to go into auto-pilot, and draw a box as you think it should look like. There’s a few mistakes here (2nd page, 1st frame, left-most box, bottom left corner), that could’ve been very easily avoided by ghosting a little more, so be sure to. Good attempt at the rotated boxes exercise. Though the boxes don’t actually rotate as much as they should (you’ll find this in the common mistakes section, too), you’ve done your best on this exercise, and that’s all that’s required of you. The organic perspective exercise is quite nicely done, too. I was particularly pleased to see all of the overlaps in the second page. There is a bit of an issue with the foreshortening (you’ll remember from the instructions, that dramatic foreshortening implies an object of a massive scale, or one really close to us), but the boxes look fine other than that.

A big congratulations on finishing this lesson.
