    superimposed lines : i can't find a point that you are trying to hit, but you should. Try as possible to hit a single point with all 8 lines, that's the aim of the exercise to build your muscle memory.

    ghosted lines & planes : missing the final point is okay at first, but gabs in the middle of your mark is a sign of hesitation which you don't want to have. Commit to your line once the pen hits the paper and after making a complete mark see where you need to improve.

    Ellipses (all exercises) : they are good but try to not repeat more then 3 times.

    plotted perspective : nothing to say

    rough perspective : using the ghosting method will improve your work, definitely.

    rotated boxes : your beginning looks very promising but not completing is a sin.

    organic perspective : actually i liked it to the point of saying that it is far from lines exercises.

    Next Steps:

    you should repeat lines exercises with more confidence, focusing more on hitting the same point in superimposed lines.

    complete the rotated boxes, feel free to rewatch the exercise video as many times as you need.

    i really appreciate your critique.

    i really miss accuracy with ellipses, working on it.

    also, working on ghosting lines too.

    thanks again

    lines

    superimposed lines are good. ghosted lines you submitted only one page, one missing. ghosted planes are very neat with almost unnoticeable arching in some lines.

    ellipses

    tables of ellipses are good. ellipses in planes needs little improvement.the funnels exercise is not as good as the others.

    boxes

    there is some wobbling in the rough perspective exercise. rotated boxes are not rotated enough with a lot of asymmetry. other than that you are good.

    Next Steps:

    provide one more page of ghosted lines.

    give yourself a chance with rotated boxes.

    other than some fraying on your superimposed lines your work is good.

    Next Steps:

    keep practicing superimposed lines for warmups. otherwise go on to the 250 boxes challenge.

    first, you should add two more pages of ghosted planes. they are required to be separate from ellipses in planes exercise.

    second, you left alot of space on your pages of superimposed lines and the boxes exercises. you should use space better.

    finally, rotated boxes are completely out of sync. you should revisit the video of the exercise.

    Next Steps:

    Do two ghosted planes pages.

    Revisit rotated boxes.

    You did a good job overall, but you really missed something in the rotated boxes exercise. It doesn't look right at all, sorry you should rewatch the video and try again.

    Next Steps:

    Rethink the rotated boxes exercise

    First, thank you for your time.

    Second, i don't know if i can modify the original submission so in the new link i reuploaded the original uploads, added 2 pages of gosted planes, and one practice page of superimposed lines. http://imgur.com/a/w9XzO5R

    I noticed two things:

    1. in the superimposed lines exercise you tend to overshoot at the edge of the page, work on this.

    2. rotated boxes need more work from your side.

    Otherwise i liked how the rough perspective exercise turned out.

    Next Steps:

    rewatch the rotated boxes video

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.
Faber Castell PITT Artist Pens

Faber Castell PITT Artist Pens

Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.

Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
