Thanks so much for looking through my work, I appreciate your time :)

Hi again!

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. The rough perspective exercise is a lot better! You'll get much more practice with boxes soon anyway ;) Ellipses are still rough, but that might be due in part to the pen running out of ink. Keep on working at them, and draw some for warm-up if you have the time.

Thanks for your time :) Here comes the long grind...

Hello Pie Versus Cake! I dig the username hehe (for the record, I'm on team cake)

Lines

• I see a bit of fraying at the starting ends of the Superimposed Lines exercise. Remember to be precise with where you place the initial point; fraying is only okay at the end, not at the start.

• Wow, you did a lot of ghosted lines! Some of these look a bit wavy. Remember to draw from the shoulder and try to switch off your brain as much as possible (I know that can be hard). Missing the endpoint is okay here.

Ellipses

• The shape of your ellipses in general is good.

• Your strokes aren't very tight when you draw over the ellipses the second and third time. That's alright at this stage, though.

Boxes

• Your Plotted Perspective boxes are a bit slanted. Align the boxes with the frame as much as possible.

• Your Rough Perspective boxes are a little misshapen. A trick I like to use for this exercise is to make sure the face that's furthest from the POV are both aligned with and have the same side-length ratios as the initial rectangle.

• There's some severe foreshortening going on with your Organic Perspective boxes. Try to make the perspective a little less extreme when you do the 250 boxes challenge.

Thanks for the feedback! I'm trying my best to un-learn drawing from the wrist, and I think I'm getting better with practice. Ellipses are still proving to be a challenge. Also, I definitely missed the point of the organic perspective exercise the first time through, but this time it makes a lot more sense.

Here are the requested revisions.

Hiya Tayrayz, let's have a look!

Lines

• Your lines for the Repeated Lines exercise don't start at the same spot. Make sure the point where you start the line is precise.

• Your curves in the Repeated Lines exercise are often jagged. Focus on making sure the flow is smooth.

• For Ghosted Planes, many of your edges are quite wobbly. In this lesson, you should prioritize smoothness over accurately hitting the dot where you're aiming. Don't think too hard, and use your shoulder as much as possible.

• Don't try to fix lines, even if they're terrible. That's not the purpose of the exercise.

Ellipses

• Your Tables of Ellipses are quite jagged and loose. Try making the ellipses smoother by drawing loops from the shoulder in wide motions.

• Your Funnels ellipses aren't of the same degree. Make sure they're the same shape, just different sizes.

Boxes

• You Rough Perspective boxes aren't correctly traced. You're supposed to follow the edges facing toward the horizon to the horizon, not trace the corners to the VP.

• Rotated Boxes looks amazing!

• Make sure you're not going back over your lines to try to "fix" them. That only makes them look clumsier. Mistakes are okay!

Hello HCaliri! Here's my two cents.

Lines

• There's a significant bit of wobble in your ghosted lines. Make sure you're using your shoulder joint as much as possible, and prioritize smoothness over accuracy. It's okay if you miss the mark at this stage!

Ellipses

• The ellipses in your funnels aren't of uniform degree. They should be the same shape, just different sizes.

• Make sure your ellipses are as symmetrical as possible.

Boxes

• Not too much to critique here, just a note that your organic perspective boxes seem quite distorted. You'll have lots of practice fixing that with the 250 boxes challenge though :)
