Your organic perspective is definitely better than mine. You seem to have the same arcing problem with straight lines though, they're very noticeably curved. Watch the elbow, that's what always screws me up. keeping the wrist steady is easier, the elbow is sneaky in my experience at least. :) Also, don't correct the lines you've drawn, even if they're wrong, keep them. Good job on ellipses, especially the funnel ellipses.
Thank you for feedback! I'll keep your suggestions in mind for my next homework. I did switch to fineliner, as I said, I didn't have any, but I've bought myself some and now I'm itching to go and buy more, along with a bunch of other stuff I'm pretty sure I don't need. :D
I'll try more variety for next assignments
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.
