Hey Yama,

Welcome and don't be so harsh on yourself! Drawabox's exercises are more difficult than they may look so you need to give yourself the needed time to develop muscle memory and spatial reasoning skills. Now lets see what we have here:

1) Lines - your superimposed lines are nice, however on the ghosted lines and planes i can see that some lines are arced, sometimes twice, which means that your mind was trying to correct the trajectory and most likely you were drawing from the elbow, so be sure to watch out for that! I don't see wobbling so good job on prioritizing confident marks.

2) Ellipses - i can see that your confidence suffered a big hit here and i sympathize with you fully, as i had a mini-meltdown myself on the tables. The first table of ellipses is quite rough, but you improve significantly by the time you finish the second one and the ellipses in planes. On the funnels you could've made the middle ellipses more narrow, but this was optional anyway. More importantly, you drew them quite loose and most of them are spilling out of the funnel, which is a mistake. Also, some have an incline and are not cut quite in half due to the fact that the two arcs you drew on the side are not very symmetrical.

3) Boxes - your plotted perspective is very nice, you seem to understand the concept of a vanishing point. However, on the rough perspective i see the arcing i mentioned about the lines exercises again and a few other things that i want to point out:

• the width lines should be parallel to the horizon and the height lines should be perpendicular to the horizon. Be sure to take the needed time to eyeball where to place the initial 4 dots correctly for the front face of the box

• avoid repeating over the same lines to fix them, you should instead accept the mistake and move on

• second page second frame i see a box with a few "???" - be sure to grab the red pen after you're done with the whole page and not when you notice something is going wrong. Remember that the red line doesn't necessarily need to hit the VP exactly, we're aiming to get as close as we can.

Rotated boxes exercise you struggled with the boxes on the corners, which is normal as they are the most difficult. Generally the boxes rotate and are close together, so thats fine.

On the organic perspective you should've made the boxes at the beginning a bit bigger so they can appear closer. Again, don't repeat lines even if they aren't very good and always focus on line confidence and smoothness.

You're welcome, glad to hear that it helped! ^^

I can relate to the line correction and weight part a lot myself haha.

Hey RGMonty and welcome to Drawabox!

1) Lines exercises - you did really good here on all of them, lines are straight, smooth and consistent and i can't notice any visible wobbling or arcing. Only thing i can nitpick on the ghosted planes exercise is that sometimes you overshoot your mark by quite a bit, so be sure to keep that in mind (just watch out for potential wavering at the end if you try to make your lines shorter to hit the mark).

2) Ellipses - you did pretty well here as well despite ellipses being more difficult, good job! There are however some things that i want to point out:

• table of ellipses - a few times you tried to sneak in some extra practice in, which resulted in overlapping. Try to avoid it as this results in the ellipses not touching each other on the sides which is part of the exercise goal (for example first table cell of page 1 and last cell of page 2).

• ellipses in planes - occasionally you draw through the ellipses almost 4 times, which is also observable on the tables, try to stick to 2~3 times (2 preferred).

3) Boxes - few things to point out here as well:

• rough perspective - don't repeat a line to correct it even if it didn't turn out as you wanted it, instead just move on.

• rotated boxes - try to keep the corners between boxes at the back close together, gaps should be consistent.

• organic perspective - there are correction lines here as well.

Overall great work, hope I was helpful.

Thank you for taking the time to review my work, point out mistakes and suggest next steps!

I'll be sure to watch out for making wobbly lines & ellipses and overshooting, although at the moment these two issues are somewhat "mutually exclusive" for me - if i overshoot i tend to not wobble as much, and if i wobble it was because i am trying not to overshoot. I hope this will clear out with practice.
