Thanks for your answer! I didn't see the notification earlier (was logged out of the website and didn't realize) but your comment is very helpful.
Oh okay, I'll keep going then, thank you :)
I think you got the main principles of the lesson and are ready to move on! However, your lines don't seem to be 100% confident yet and some look a little bit shaky/scratchy. Your work was also very negatively affected by the solid black you used, it flattened your drawings a lot, I recommend you stick to the course's rules in your next lesson to keep this from happening. Your drawings without solid black look much more 3D. Good luck on your journey! :)

Lesson 5 it is
Hi! I just finished this same lesson so I don't have much knowledge to give you a critique, your work is very detailed and your constructions seem 100% solid to me, I'd say you're ready to move on. Nitpicking for the feedback, I'd say some of your thicker lines, even though they seem to be stylistic choices, are kinda flattening your drawings a little bit, specially when you use extra thick lines in the whole extension of the part of the drawing that is close to the floor. This is very visible in your organic intersections, the shadows of the base wouldn't be straight in the front like you did, the same happens to your Pallas Cat of the top right corner on page 1 and to the bigger one in page 2, as well as the frog and the lizard.
And nitpicking again, a lot of the legs you did look a bit stiff, I think the major cause for this is caused by their proportions, the segments have sizes pretty close to each other, both in height and width. Overall amazing working, good luck on your journey :)
Next Steps:
Let's go for the 250 cylinder challenge!
Thank you very much, your advices are very helpful
Hi! I'm super impressed with the fact that you did a much higher amount of boxes, planes and ellipses than the examples given in the lesson. I think you already know that not all of your ellipses and boxes are perfect, but this isn't the purpose of the course, what matters is that you showed you understood everything that was present and should proceed to the next lesson. Good Job!
Next Steps:
I suggest you finish the 250 box challenge before going into lesson 2
Hi, Thank you so much for the feedback! I'm aware my rough perspective exercises look pretty bad, I redid one page here: https://imgur.com/a/jDMc4QV .
I also did one box using a ruler https://imgur.com/a/9LN5s6R because I don't understand which part I'm not getting. In my head I had gotten it theory wise but not execution wise, what I understand about one point perspective is that the vertical and horizontal lines should be "straight" going to an infinite vanishing point, when they don't come out like that is not the intention, and those other 4 lines should go to the vanishing point that is on the page... right?
This recommendation is really just for those of you who've reached lesson 6 and onwards.
I haven't found the actual brand you buy to matter much, so you may want to shop around. This one is a "master" template, which will give you a broad range of ellipse degrees and sizes (this one ranges between 0.25 inches and 1.5 inches), and is a good place to start. You may end up finding that this range limits the kinds of ellipses you draw, forcing you to work within those bounds, but it may still be worth it as full sets of ellipse guides can run you quite a bit more, simply due to the sizes and degrees that need to be covered.
No matter which brand of ellipse guide you decide to pick up, make sure they have little markings for the minor axes.
