    Excelent question. When I ran into a similar problem, I went ahead put down new VP's. It took a few pages to iron it out. I put those ones aside and called them "warmups".

    Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate the observation regarding lines/shoulder/confidence and

    will continue practicing.

    It appears the student has a solid grasp of the concepts and is following the instructions.

    Critiques:

    Ellipses: On the tables it seems many of the ellipses have an oval shape with little difference between major and minor axis. However, it appears this improves with practice as it is evident from the funnel excercise that the student has a firm grasp of constructing ellipses.

    Lines: on the ghosted planes and rough perspective,it looks like the lines overshoot their end mark. this has improved as evidenced by the progress seen in the rotated box and organic perspective exercises.

    Rotated Boxes: It looks like the convergance of vanishing points are either right distance or close up which results in an abrupt contrast between the too. When approaching these next time, perhaps it would be a benefit to use a larger piece of paper to stretch out the VP's. This could give the boxes more space to slowly converge.

    Overall, nice work! Each practice attempt shows progress. Lesson one is completed.

    Next Steps:

    It is recomended that the student moves on to the 250 boxes challenge and continues practicing concepts in warm up exercisises.

    It appears the student has a solid grasp of the concepts and is following the instructions.

    Critiques:

    Ellipses: it seems there has been a challenge getting the major axis to touch the tops (see funnel openings and pages of ellipses). Nice use of page space and filling in all blank spots.

    Lines: In many of the exercises, it looks like the lines overshoot their end mark. this could be related to ghosting too quickly without a deliberate stop. it would be interesting to see what would happen if the ghosting process were practiced slower and with an intentional pause at the end point.

    Overall, the it is evident that progress is made with each practice attempt. Lesson one is completed. It will be neat to see how the student progresses through the 250 boxes challenge. Nice Work!

    Next Steps:

    Keep practicing concepts in warm ups and move on the 250 boxes challenge. Great Job!

    admittedly, I like drawing boxes. as I look to implement the 50/50 rule in own process, it's fun take what I have learned thus far and experiment with other people's ideas. it may be helpful to look at other students work and try the exercises from a different 'perspective' while exercising your own creativity.

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.
