Hello

To start with, your superimposed lines are fairly wobbly. It looks like you’re trying to correct your course when you stray off the guide line. Don’t worry about your accuracy here, the main purpose of this exercise is to draw smooth, confident lines. You can use your brain to plan your strokes beforehand and to analyze how it went afterwards, but try to let your muscle memory take over while you’re drawing the line.

Your ghosted lines look substantially smoother and more confident. Some of your lines are still wobbling, but it looks like the ghosting technique is benefitting you.

Your ghosted planes are looking pretty good. Most of your lines here are similar to the previous exercise, but the diagonal (corner-to-corner) lines tend to arc and wobble more. I find it can help to take more time when ghosting these lines.

Your ellipses in the tables of ellipses are staying consistent in degree and orientation, and you’re doing a good job of keeping within their boundaries. Again, the main thing to improve here is confidence and flow. Make sure that you are drawing through your ellipses at least a full two times.

The ellipses in planes look smoother and more confident. You are doing a good job of making sure that the ellipses touch all four edges of the plane.

Your funnels are looking smoother still. These ellipses are fitting fairly snugly against the funnel shape and each other. The only feedback I would give specific to this exercise is that the minor axes of your ellipses tend to get misaligned from the central line as you get farther from the center. If you use this exercise as a warmup in the future, you can try increasing the degree of the ellipses farther from the center.

The page of plotted perspective looks good. It can help to ghost the hatch lines on the front planes of boxes to make them look cleaner (and as bonus practice drawing lines).

I can see your accuracy with the rough perspective improved as you went along. As you mentioned, you struggled with the line quality in these last few exercises. Remember to take the time to ghost each line you draw until you have a confident stroke.

Good work with the rotated boxes. You rotated them to have a different vanishing point for each box and you kept the gaps between boxes very consistent.

Finally, the organic perspective exercise looks generally well done. You had a large variation in the sizes of boxes, which helps convey the depth of the space. You did a good job of drawing a bunch of different orientations too. Many of your boxes don’t have any visible convergence. It can be a difficult balance to strike between no convergence and shallow convergence, but you will have lots of practice in the 250 box challenge. It looks like you applied hatching to some of the back faces of the boxes. Hatching on a face implies that it faces the viewer, so hatching on the back face makes the perspective look inverted. The large watercolor curve helps to convey the depth of the scene, but it is big enough to distract from the boxes (which are the real focus of this exercise). Any lineweight added to that curve should be subtle. The lineweight you added to the curve in the first frame of the first page of this exercise was just about perfect.

As far as drawing with your shoulder goes, I find it can help to practice drawing large ghosted lines and ellipses, so you are forced to move your entire arm.

I think you would benefit from trying another page of straight superimposed lines and ghosted planes with a focus on confident lines instead of accuracy.

Overall, good job! I think you will be surprised at how much your confidence improves as you go through the 250 box challenge.
