Alright I've done another object construction. this time with a lot of mirroring and some dividing into thirds, also a good amount of curved edges that i used straights to start with. I made a lot of mistakes doing this one. The whole thing had a lot of consrtuction lines near the top and i used some a for the wrong anchor points but i stuck with it.
Thanks for check it. Let me know what i need to work on,

ahh, that is unfortunate, i admit i didn't rewatch the video for the extra 25 thinking i got it from looking at the diagram. i really did just want to be done with these. Now that i have rewatched the video i feel a lot of things i remember being confused by the first time clicked into place. I hope i have gotten it right this time. Thanks for keeping me honest

Oh damn, that was silly of me, woops. Okay, hopefully i did it right this time, though there were defintely some wonky ones this time, though i think im staring to see and predict a lot of my errors.
Thank you so much,

Oh of course, here are some organic contours.
Thank you so much for the advice, i had completely forgotten about doing contours fir the intersections. And wrapping additional masses makes a lot of sense. I will bring that to the next lesson.
Cheers

Thank you! I felt i did a lot better with both ellipse and line confidence, though there is still a couple wonky ones.
Also Glad to know thats shoulder pain is going to go away

Hey this is all really good advice and thanks for taking to time to go in this much depth. I've redone the exercises and I feel pretty comfortable with my lines and ellipses in the ghosted planes exercise. However, I really felt like focusing on confident lines instead of accuracy made my rough perspective exercise fall apart and its making it alot harder to do the extra 50 boxes. I think it has to do with making smaller lines more confident. Also all this drawing from my shoulder is making it sore, any advice?
Thank you so much. Also sorry for the bad photos, my phone camera got busted i will use a better one for the box challenge
Also you don't want me to draw over lines, but on the boxes in the box challenge the perimetre of the boxes are suppose to be darker. should i not draw over them then?
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.
PureRef
This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.
When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.
Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
