    Thank you for the clear and detailed critique TrollFromHell!!! I really appreciate it!

    I tried to tackle the inner corner issue using the method you provided. It helped a bit but I need to practice it more.

    Here are the 30 more boxes: https://imgur.com/a/GqldKPD

    For the first pages, I tried to go the other extreme and put the VP really far off the page, then gradually come closer to the edges of the boxes.

    I was messing up a lot but kind of got the hang of it towards the end.

    Thanks again!!!

    Thank you for the detailed review Mohobolobo. You clarified the organic perspective exercise, which has been messing with my brain.

    Beckerito summed it up really well and to be honest, as a noob, I can't really add much to it.

    -Of the few things I can recommend, I would advise you to use Felt-Tip pens (I use "uni pin Fine Liner 0.5" pens). You will NEED them in Lesson 2.

    -I can also see that you have the basic grasp of visualizing boxes in 3D space and putting them on paper, which is the most important take away from this challange in my opinion. Accuracy comes with refinement and practice, which you will get enough of down the road.

    -Also, you varied your boxes' orientation very little, which Beckerito also picked up on and suggested you draw 30 more boxes, in different orientations.

    Once again, Beckerito's fantastic critique pointed out the most important points to improve on when it comes to Linework and Box Construction.

    Next Steps:

    Move on to Lesson 2.

The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
Ellipse Master Template

Ellipse Master Template

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.
