Yeah that's definitely better, great work.
Good luck on the boxes challege!
Hi there!
your lines are quite good in general and drawn with confidence... some are a little arching (but really imperceptible) so it's not a problem... But I can see especially in the planes and the boxes that you tend to be a little scarce, finishing the line before your point...
The ellipses have a good ellipse-y shape and not wobbly, drawn through not too many times... I can see though that some time are overlapping with each other, or maybe they doesn't "fit fight" in the planes (too big or too small) at times... (and as said before the lines are too short at times)
In the rough perspective you got the idea right, but here too you're not ghosting enough and the boxes have lines too short and not connecting at all almost everywhere...
With the rotating boxes I can see you had problems with the bases... they're definitely not consistent in sizes (they vary too much) and spaces, and having ao much depth really didn't helped you (you get smaller bases and it's more difficult to go from there)...
Next Steps:
If I were you, I would try to do some more planes+ellipses, to get a little more practice with the lines to correct your tendency of stopping too soon and not connecting to the point... and to get the ellipses more fitting...
Try maybe to ghost slower/faster/longer... experimenting until you find your way to get improvement...
(Since you're at it you can correct the rough perspective ones where the lines definitely didn't connect, so you get some more practice)
after that I would re-do the rotating boxes. Maybe read carefully the instructions, watch the video... Then try and do it again (maybe keep a reference around to help you).
At the end a little hatching will help to make the box easier to distinguish...
Yeah, that's great looking...
The bases now closer, more consistent sizes, aligned and everything is better.
Next Steps:
Now that you have a better understanding of the rotating thing and everything is in order, you can go on and have fun with the 250 boxes challenge...
Good luck :)
In general it's not bad... The lines are pretty, not wobbly or arching...
The ellipses have a decent "shape" but I can see you draw through them too many times (should be 2 ideally, 3 at worst), especially in the planes exercise.
The boxes are good... The rotating ones look good, BUT in the outmost layer the bases are definitely too far apart... It seems fine when you only look at the most visible faces, but not through them...
Next Steps:
You should probably get a little more confidence and practice with the ellipses (especially in planes)...
Maybe try to do both the exercises to find a more comfortable way to draw them until you're sure you can get them without drawing through them too many times.
I would probably re-do the rotating boxes to, it's good to look, but the bases are definitely too far apart... hatching and lines are good.
I actually like it, that's pretty good in general...
Lines are pretty straight (maybe a couple are a little arching?) and the ellipses are quite good.
The only fault I can find is in the rotating boxes... I think that the boxes in the for perpendicular directions have their bases a little too long and a too drastic narrowing...
In fact the adjacent ones have maybe not enough space...
But it's generally good and I can see you got the idea... The hatching would have helped to make more easy to distinguish the boxes...
Next Steps:
I would not force you to re-do the exercise, unless you have the patience and the will, just to see if it can "turn up" better.
Said that you can move on to the box challenge...
Hi there!
It's generally pretty good, lines are great and the planes too...
It seems you have some problem with the ellipses when they're not in the planes, so they end up quite wobbly...
The boxes are good, even though in the rough perspective one there's one where a box has really wild lines (page 11, up right)... In this exercise the lines should be parallel to the horizon and perpendicular to it, so be sure to get them as you want them...
Lastly the rotating boxes... In that I can see that you get the general idea of what it's going on, but the boxes seems to not rotate enough... and with the hatching it'll be more easy to distinguish the boxes...
Next Steps:
If I were you, I would probably practice some some ellipses to get them less wobbly, with a little more confidence (maybe you meed to get a better position/method/other)...
And lastly would be good to re-do the rotating box one, rotate the boxes a little more to give a better idea of what's going on... and at the end don't forget the hatching to help stand outore the boxes
I generally really like what you've done so far...
In the first couple pages there's a little fraying on both ends in some lines...
Both in the ghosted lines and the planes there's some wobbly line, I would probably take a little more time before tracing them and be more confident in what you're doing...
The ellipses are quite good...
In the boxes part though... In general I would say tou could have done some more exercise in a page (like 3 each) and not one...
Anyway in the plotted one, you should have done everything with a ruler (not ghosted) and you're missing all the construction lines to the vanishing points...
in the other nothing to say except what I've said earlier (could have done a couple more per page)...
Lastly the rotating boxes... It's quite good,but you're missing the corners, they're quite difficult to do but need to be done... And I would not put so many lines of emphasis on each box (it looks a little messy in some point when the lines don't connect quite good in the corners)
Next Steps:
You should probably re-do the plotted boxes page (read carefully the instructions first)...
For the rough perspective ones, I would have done more but if you're sure you got the idea, leave as it is...
Lastly the rotating boxes... If you have time, I would re-do it, be sure to do he corners and not put too much lines of emphasis for a cleaner look
I agree with basically anything that was said, your lines are not too bad, a little wobbly here and there (confidence with time and practice will help) and the ellipses seems good.
In addition I'd like to add a little more on the rotating boxes.
The bases need to be more consistent in size and planned better, paying more attention to the others surrounding them.
The corner ones are most difficult ones, I'd paying particular attention to those...
Ghosting more calmly the lines would surely help to get more straighter lines.
Try to vary hatching angle to make easier to distinguish better the various faces/boxes.
If you have some "time to waste" you could probably try and redo it. In general you're doing pretty good , everyone has problems with rotating boxes :
Hi there!
In general it's not bad. Here and there I can that some lines are arching or wobbly, with time and practice you'll definitely draw them with more confidence.
with the ellipses, I would probably try to do some more, trying to get a "better ellipse-y shape", since they seem quite wobbly...
The boxes are good, except for the rotating ones, which many have problems with. The rotation is not too consistent between the various boxes, the "bases" are too far apart and not aligned, and put some emphasis on the lines would help to make the boxes more visible (try to vary the angle of your hatching too)
Next Steps:
Maybe you could try so accustom yourself with the ghosting and drawing with confidence in general.
Find a way suitable for you to get better lines and ellipses, ghosting in different ways, different positions... Experiment a little untill you fill confident enough and you fill you're doing good.
I would probably redo the rotating boxes (together with some more general practice)...
Try to keep the bases not too separated (especially the farthest ones), they need to be more compact...
A little emphasis on the visible lines and vary the hatches to make easier to distinguish the boxes...

here I re-did the rotating thing...
it seems a little bit more consistent, I had a little more trouble with the first one especially managing the space, so in the new one i tried without the references on the sides (but i know what theyactually represent)...
this should be better even though some lines are not that great :/
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.
