    Hello!

    Lines

    Your lines are generally great and improve throughout the set. Some of your lines are a bit wobbly, so remember that a confident line is always better than a wobbly line no matter how accurate it is, so always focus on confidence over accuracy.

    There is a little bit of fraying at the starting point of your superimposed lines. Fraying at the end is normal, but there shouldn't really be any fraying at the starting point, so be sure to be mindful of starting at the same point everytime.

    Ellipses

    Here as well mainly a good job. Your ellipses are a bit wobbly. Don't forget to prioritize confidence over accuracy on ellipses as well.

    On the ellipse tables, the ellipses should be kept within the bounds, each ellipse touching each other, without overlapping.

    On the funnels, some of your ellipses aren't alligned with the minor axis. The ellipses can't be tilted because the major axis is perpendicular to the minor axis of the funnel, so try to keep them straight.

    Also you tend to stick to the curves even if it means not alligning the ellipses. Focus first on making the ellipses be cut in 2 identical halves. If you need to ignore the curves for it, don't hesitate.

    Boxes

    Solid work here as well.

    On rough perspective, width lines should be parallel to horizon and height lines perpendicular to horizon. I know this can be difficult, but try your best to keep them aligned.

    On rotated boxes, sonme of your boxes aren't actually rotating. https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/17/notrotating But, you've done a good job keeping the corners close.

    On organic perspective, you could have tried more overlaps. And adding line weight to the outer edges that overlaps, to clarify which box is on top and behind.

    You have some perspective issues but you will be doing the box challenge which will help you with that, so no need to worry about that.

    Overall good job! Keep up the good work and good luck on the box challenge!

    Next Steps:

    Remember to add these exercises to your pool of warm-ups and do them 10-15 minutes. Your next step is the 250 box challenge, good luck!

    Hello!

    Lines

    They are generally great and they improve over the set; however your get wobbly at times. Remember to prioritize confidence over accuracy.

    Your first pirority is to have confident and straight lines, so focus on that first and don't worry if you need to sacrifice accuracy as a confident line will always be better than a wobbly line no matter the accuracy.

    There is fraying on both ends on your superimposed lines. Fraying at the end is normal, but there shouldn't really be any fraying at the starting point, so try to be mindful of starting at the same point everytime.

    Your lines are arching, so make sure you are using the shoulder pivot. If you are having difficulty while doing the pivot, you can fix it by trying to consciously arch to the opposite direction.

    You have repeating lines. No matter how off a line is, you shouldn't repeat it, you should keep the line as if it were correct and move on.

    Ellipses

    Here as well mainly a good job. Your ellipses are a bit wobbly. Like with the lines, remember to prioritize confidence over accuracy on ellipses too.

    On ellipse tables, the ellipses should be kept within the bounds, each ellipse touching each other, without overlapping.

    On funnels the ellipses sometimes aren't aligned. Make sure the ellipses aren't tilted, and are cut to 2 symmetrical halves by the minor axis, and make sure to ignore the curves if you need to, your first priority is to cut the ellipse to 2 symmetrical halves.

    Also on your funnels you didnt draw through some ellipses. Remember to draw through the ellipses 2 to 3 times, 2 times preferably.

    Boxes

    Solid work here as well, just like the lines exercise no matter how off a line is never repeat it no matter how off they are. Don't do it as it makes your drawings messier and encourages bad habits.

    On rough perspective exercise, width lines should be parallel to horizon and height lines perpendicular to horizon. I know this can be difficult , but keep it up and try your best to keep them aligned.

    On rotated boxes, you've done a good job with the rotation and keep the boxes corners close however there are a lot of wobbly lines.

    Also don't forget to use line weight on the rotated boxes to clarify where the forms overlap.

    On the rotated boxes exercise. You can add lineweight to the outer parts of the boxes that overlap others. That way you can make clear which boxes are on top and which are behind.

    You have some perspective issues on the organic perspective and rotated boxes but nothing much to worry about since the 250 box challenge will really help you with that.

    Overall your doing a good job , but before you go to the 250 box challenge. I want to make sure you know how to draw confident lines even if it means sacrificing your accuracy before going to the 250 box challenge. So I want you to do one more page of rough perspective. Good luck and keep it up.

    Next Steps:

    1 page of rough perspective

    Hello!

    Lines

    They are generally good and they improve over the set. But you have only a bit of wobbly lines. Don't forget to prioritize confidence over accuracy.

    There's not much fraying at the beginning point of your superimposed lines exercise so good job, just remember that fraying at the end is normal

    Just a note for your superimposed lines exercise, you can try adding some superimposed curves in there.

    Your lines are arching a bit, so make sure you are using the shoulder pivot. If you are still having difficulty even with the pivot, you can fix it by trying to consciously arch to the opposite direction.

    Ellipses

    Here as well mainly a good job.

    On the ellipse tables, the ellipses should be kept within the bounds, each ellipse touching each other without overllaping.

    There is only a little bit of wobbling in the ellipses. Just like with the lines, remember to prioritize confidence over accuracy.

    On funnels some of the ellipses arent aligned with the minor axis. Make sure you always aim for the ellipses to be cut into 2 symmetrical halves by the minor axis even if it means ignoring the inital curves.

    Also some of your ellipses arent touching the curves,especially with the ellipses at the end of funnels, so try to focus on not leaving space between the arc and ellipse.

    Boxes

    Your lines are getting little less confident. Approach lines as you did on the previous exercises. It doesn't matter if they're in a box or in a plane, the approach is the same.

    On the rough perspective, width lines should be parallel to horizon and height lines perpendicular to horizon. I know this is a difficult task, but keep trying to do your best on it.

    On rotated boxes, some of your boxes aren't actually rotating. https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/17/notrotating

    On organic perspective, the main issue is that you are repeating lines. Don't forget that no matter how off a line is, you shouldn't repeat it. Repeating it will only make it messier and encourage bad habits, just keep it as if it was correct and move on.

    You have some perspective issues but nothing much to worry about as you will be doing the box challenge.

    Overall you've done a good job, keep it up and good luck with the 250 box challenge

    Next Steps:

    Remember to add these exercises into your pool of warm-ups doing them 10-15 minutes. Your next step is the 250 box challenge good luck!

    Hello!

    Lines

    Your lines are pretty wobbly, but there are some lines that show confidence. Remember to prioritize confidence over accuracy.

    Some of your superimposed lines have a little bit of fraying at the start. Fraying at the end is normal but, there shouldn't really be any fraying at the start point so try to be mindful of starting at the same point every time.

    Your lines are arching a bit, so make sure to use the shoulder pivot. If you are having still having difficulty with the pivot, you can try fixing it by trying to arch consciously to the opposite direction.

    Ellipses

    You ellipses are pretty confident overall ,great job! There are some wobbly ellipses, as with the lines remember to prioritize confidence over accuracy.

    You haven't drawn through some of your ellipses, remember to draw through them 2 to 3 times, 2 times is preferably.

    On the ellipse tables,the ellipses should be kept within the bounds, each ellipse touching each other, without overlapping.

    On funnels, some of the ellipses aren't alligned with the minor axis. Make sure the ellipses aren't tilted as the line has to cut the ellipse in 2 symmetrical halves, and make sure to ignore the curves if you need to, your first priority is to cut the ellipse in 2 even halves.

    Also on the funnels you submitted 2 pages of funnels when you only need 1 page. Remember to only complete the recommended amount of each exercise to the best of your ability and move on.

    Boxes

    Lines are wobbly here as well, so remember to focus on confidence on boxes as well. We will always prefer a confident line no matter how accurate it is on these exercises.

    Sometimes you repeat lines that were off. Don't do this as it makes your drawings messier and encourage bad habits.

    On rough perspective, width lines should be parallel to horizon and height lines perpendicular to horizon. I know this is difficult, but try your best to keep them aligned.

    On rotated boxes, corners between boxes must be kept close, dont do this.. And some of your boxes arent actually rotating https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/17/notrotating

    On organic perspective you could have tried to overlap your boxes some more. When you do have overlapping boxes, you would add line weight in the areas where a box overlap with each other to show which box is in front.

    You have some perspective issues but nothing much to worry about as you will be doing the box challenge.

    Overall great job and good luck with the box challenge!

    Next Steps:

    Remember to include these exercises to your pool of warmups, doing them 10-15 minutes. Your next step is the 250 box challenge!

    Hello!

    Lines

    They generally improve over the set and it looks like you are proritizing confidence over accuracy which is great! There are some lines that are a little bit wobbly, but overall they are confident.

    Theres a little bit of fraying when you go over them specifically on the superimposed lines. Fraying at the end is normal but the line should never fray on the starting point so try to be mindful of starting at the same point every time.

    There are also some lines that are arching a bit,so make sure you are using your shoulders.If you are still having difficulty while you are using the pivot , you can try to fix it by trying to arch consciously to the opposite direction.

    Ellipses

    Ellipses are generally great as well. Your ellipses are a bit wobbly. As with the lines remember to prioritize confidence over accuracy.

    On the ellipse tables,the ellipses should be kept within the bounds, each ellipse touching each other,without overlapping.

    On the funnels, you are having a bit of trouble when aligning the ellipses to the minor axis.The ellipses cant be tilted because the major axis is perpendicular to the minor axis. so try to keep them straight. Also when the initial curve is wrong you tend to stick to the curves. Focus on making the ellipse be cut into 2 symmetrical curves by the minor axis even if the curves are off, even if you have to ignore them.

    Boxes

    You have some repeating lines, especially in the organic perspective exercise. No matter how off the line is, never repeat it. Just keep the line as it is and move on as if it were correct.

    On rough perspective, width lines should be parallel to horizon and height lines perpendicular to horizon.

    I know this is difficult but try your best. Don't forget to use the line correction method as one of your boxes don't have any correction lines.

    On rotated boxes, the corner betweens boxes must be kept close. Don't do this.

    Also some of your boxes aren't rotating https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/17/notrotating

    You have some perspective issues throughout the set but nothing much to worry about as you will be doing the 250 box challenge next.

    Overall you've done a good job, good luck on the box challange!

    Next Steps:

    250 box challenge

    Hey KAMIYASORA, thank you for the feedback! Here are the revisions https://imgur.com/a/Fx8MMcV

    Also, are we supposed to add the 250 box challenge as part of the daily warmups?

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

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.
