    Thank you so much! I'll make sure to work on all of the things you mentioned and i really appreciate how detailed you were!

    You have fraying at the start of the longer lines so just look out for that and make sure you're aligning it.

    A bit of wobble on the ghosted lines but they're fine

    All your ellipses are extremely wobbly, you're supposed to let the lines flow. Line confidence before accuracy. Make sure you have nice, flowing circles and then focus on accuracy after that.

    For rough perspective your lines are messy but just make sure you're working on superimposed and ghosted lines.

    As for the perspective itself it's obviously not perfect but it's fine since the 250 box challenge helps that. Same aplies to organic perspective, only other problem there is that you could've put some more line weight on the boxes in front so it's easier to see.

    For the rotated boxes the problem is that you tried to draw them way too far apart.

    You're superimposed lines are very good, there's a bit of tapering but it'll get better with practice. Only other problem is that you missed the start a bit in a few lines so it's pretty thick but just be careful abt that

    You course correct a but for the ghosted lines but it's not that bad so just keep practicing and you'll get better.

    You have nice, flowing ellipses so you've got line confidence down but you have a lot of overlap so you just need to work on accuracy now, again just practice ghosting.

    Some of your funnels aren't symmetrical

    It's better to just hatch with lines than color it but it's not necessarily a mistake

    You tried to correct some lines for rough perspective and you should never do that, it's looks messy and just makes it worse. Keep the line no matter how much you eant to fix it. And the vanishing point but the 250 box challenge is for that, same applies to organic perspective

    Your superimposed lines have fraying. Just make sure you're ghosting and drawing from your shoulder.

    Ghosted lines are fine. Same with planes just try to push them a bit more, as in do more exaggerated shapes not just squares.

    You're ellipses have a tiny bit of overlao but it's nothing serious

    Your funnels are symmetrical.

    In rough perspective you're supposed to trace your lines not the lines back to the vanishing point in order to see mistakes

    In rotating boxes your 2nd boxes are the same size as the middle one and then dramatically shrink, it's supposed to be gradual and the shape is more of a circle where yours is a square, I'd say your boxes taper enough at first and then the second one tapers too much.

    The only problem with organic perspective is the perspective itself but the 250 box challenge is for that

    Your superimposed lines aren't perfect but they're pretty good, there's just a bit of fraying.

    Ghosted lines have a tiny bit of a curve in places but you have nice confident lines which is the most important. Excluding the one line you scribbled they're all fine.

    For the planes you tried to fix a few lines, it's only a few but don't do that no matter how bad you want to.

    Your ellipses are nice and clean, they don't touch all the edges but just keep practicing.

    Your funnels are all symmetrical except for one (upler middle one)

    For plotted perspective you're supposed to hatch the side that's facing the viewer, not underneath.

    Your rough perspective is very messy and the only thing i can say about the lines is that you should practice ghosting and superimposed lines.

    As for the perspective itself, it's not perfect but that's what the 250 box challenge is for, the same applies to organic perspective

    You need to work on your superimposed and ghosted lines. The superimposed ones have a lot of fraying.

    As for the ghosted ones, you aren't confident at all, confidence before accuracy. Work on having confident, flowing lines and don't attempt to fix them no matter how much you want to.

    Same with the ghosted planes, don't fix your lines.

    Make sure you're drawing from your shoulder.

    You at least have nice lines for your circles but it looks like you went around more than twice for some of them and there's some overlapping. Just really work on ghosting. The same applies for the planes and funnels.

    You didn't do a very good job making your lines thicker for the rought perspective.

    Your rotated boxes are a disaster. Okay that sounds harsh but i don't think you really understood what you were supposed to be doing. The lines are so scratchy and too thick and you can barely see what's going on. The rotations themselves are also wrong. I highly recommend reviewing the instructions again and try going on youtube and seeing how others went about it and trying it again.

    For organic perspective it's the same problems, messy, fixed lines. The perspective isn't perfect but the 250 box challenge is for that.

    Overall i HIGHLY advise you to stop fixing your lines. It makes it look horribly messy and trust me it does not help. You really have to just keep practicing your ghostes and superimposed lines. I really cannot stress the fact that you need to stop trying to fix your lines enough. The only thing that accomplishes is that it makes everything look messy and they just become way too thick.

    Next Steps:

    Work on line confidence

    Make sure you're ghosting the superimposed lines and keep practicing the ghosted lines.

    Your ellipses have a bit of overlap or don't touch the corners but it should get better with practice

    The funnels are supposed to be symmetrical on both sides

    You hatched boxes in the opposite direction, they should all be facing towards the viewer, it's easier to see what's actually going

    In the rough perspective your boxes were very messy, make sure you're doing ghosting and if you want to make the lines thicker be careful and also use ghosting. It's also incredibly difficult to actually see what's going on and you didn't trace them back well, you skipped both tracing and actually drawing some lines.

    I highly advise you to do the 250 box challenge and keep practising

    You have a fraying at the beginning of the lines, make sure you're carefully aligning your pen at the start. The fraying at the end will get better with practice

    Keep practising your ghosted lines and make sure you're drawing from your shoulder and ghosting.

    Practice your ellipses, again with ghosting. Make sure you're only going around twice. Draw from your shoulder and remember, confident, flowing lines before accuracy. Your lines were very wobbly with the ellipses in the ghosted planes.

    Try hatching your boxes so it's more understandable.

    For rough perspective I'm not sure if you were trying to make the lines thicker or fix them, if it's the former then practice superimposed lines with ghosting more, if it's the latter then don't do that. Keep the line even if it's bad no matter how bad you wanna fix it.

    The only other problem is the lines not meeting at the vanishing point but the 250 box challenge is for that.

    For organic boxes the perspective is the issue but again the 250 box challenge is for that

When it comes to technical drawing, there's no one better than Scott Robertson. I regularly use this book as a reference when eyeballing my perspective just won't cut it anymore. Need to figure out exactly how to rotate an object in 3D space? How to project a shape in perspective? Look no further.
