    Still don't get some of the cast shadows. Following the contours of the form below is fine but sometimes I swear they're completely incompatible

    Posted versions with and without cast shadows

    Here's the sausages and intersection pages https://imgur.com/gallery/RvBEL2i

    Did the best I could with the cast shadows, but that's yet another area where I don't feel like I really 'get' it and there's frustratingly little I can find that helps.

    Thanks again :>

    Thanks again. Here's the two pages. The second one didn't turn out as big as I thought it would - should have put some dots down before starting the construction.

    Yup, those pages look fine.

    I can't speak for Uncomfortable but I don't think the correction lines are the most important aspect of rough perspective. The way you did it is just a bit less visually effective I think.

    Oh, sorry about the rotated boxes heh. Sometimes things just don't go well, it's no big deal.

    Yeah, orange means agree ^^ as far as I know at least!

    Hi! Starting with your line exercises. Your superimposed lines and ghosted lines look confidently drawn which is good. The biggest thing to watch out for looks to be arching - see here. This looks a little better in your lines in planes, though quite a lot of your lines here are overshooting the mark.

    Your tables of ellipses look good! I can tell you read the instructions carefully. Good work on the ellipses in planes and funnels too. There's not really anything major I can see to criticise here.

    Your rough perspective boxes definitely improved as the exercise went on. Main things I noticed were again arching lines and overshooting lines.

    Your rotated boxes look pretty good, especially given how tough an exercise this is. If you could keep the spaces between your boxes more constant it would be even better.

    There's a few boxes on your first page of organic perspective that are missing a third set of lines. Also, a lot of your boxes' vanishing points seem to be tending towards infinity. Don't worry though - if you're doing the 250 box challenge, this should fix any perspective problems.

    Overall, a very good submission. I have no problems with marking the lesson as complete. Well done!

    Hi! Firstly I want to address what you said about 'It turned out 14 final sheets with exercises, but there were much more drafts'. You shouldn't be grinding the exercises. See here. Especially if grinding was why you were tempted to give up!

    Onto the exercises. Your lines exercises are pretty good. I can really see the improvement from page-to-page over things like arching lines and overshooting lines. Good job.

    Your tables of ellipses are good too. On some of the narrower ellipses you have a tendency to taper the sides into more of a cone-like shape, so that could be something to work on in future or even just warm-ups. Some of your ellipses in planes are a bit wonky, which might be because you tried to fit them in the boxes. Remember that the overall shape of the ellipse matters more than getting its position spot-on. Your funnels are pretty spot on - well done.

    Your box exercises are good too. Your second page of rough perspective is much better than the first regarding the width and height lines being parallel to and perpendicular to the horizon line. Some of your organic perspective boxes have some lines at wrong angles, but that's normal at this stage. The second-largest box on your final square is also incomplete.

    The most pleasing thing about your work is how confident all the linework is, even on the more difficult exercises. Really good submission overall. Just don't grind the exercises!

How to Draw by Scott Robertson

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.
