Your superimposed lines need tightening up, but like most people that'll come as your draw more. Your ghosted lines wobble far more then they overshoot, wobbling is a lot worse than overshooting. Spend more time ghosting and execute your lines more quickly. If you think your gonna overshoot just take your drawing tool off the page early. Your ghosted planes need line accuracy most of all, the construction lines are often inaccruate. Spend more time ghosting your lines until you have confidence. You might want to do one more page of ellipse tables, since you have no small minor axis moving along curved lines. Other than that they seem decent. Ellipses in planes look decent, they mostly need their lines tightened up. You'll need to redo your funnels, there's not enough variation in the minor axis. Once you redo it, draw some wider ellipses or even full circles. I can't see any issues with your plotted perspective, though my eyes are probably just not good enough. You did well on your rough perspective, no issues here. Your rotated boxes are a lot better then mine, i can't say anything. Your organic perspective suffers from poor line quality. As for fixing your perspective, a good trick is to imagine the VP point about 4 inches away.

This is my first time critiquing so hopefully it's okay! I'll do it in sections so it's clear.

Lines: The Draw-over lines look good. The longer lines arc a bit but I think that's normal. For your ghosted lines, it's better to overshoot a little bit than to undershoot. Don't be afraid to make that mark! You got a better hang of this when drawing planes. Overall, looks solid.

Ellipses: Ellipse tables look good. I think you had an issue with the tail of the ellipse going off either too inwards or outwards of the ellipse, so watch out for that. The ellipses in funnels tilt slightly, when they're meant to be straight and symmetrical. But this is also a common error, and not too major.

Boxes: Rough perspective boxes, I can see you going back to fix your lines sometimes. This is discouraged. Any line you make should be treated as correct and used from there. Really good effort on the rotated boxes. For the organic perspective, I'm sure you noticed that some boxes have far-planes that are larger than their near-planes, which Uncomfortable talked about in the video. When you do your 250 box challenge, make sure your lines don't diverge and avoid having parallelogram or rhombus like shapes.

Overall it looks good. I think you'll fix your box mistakes when you move on to the 250 box challenge!

The first and most important thing you need to do is to learn to detach your sense of self-worth from drawing. Making a mistake or a bad drawing does not make you a bad person or a waste of space. It means you're still learning and that's okay, you shouldn't have any expectations of your skill level right now and you'll absolutely have days of inconsistency where you can draw a line perfectly fine one minute and then not at all the next - even great artists have days like that, it's just they're fewer and further in between.

I experienced this too going through the course, especially because I had previous experience, and felt that I should know this stuff already. One of the things that helped was speaking to a therapist and unpacking why I was placing these kinds of unrealistic expectations on myself, especially when no one else was holding me to that standard. So speaking to someone might be something that helps you as well.

Lines

Really wobbly especially in the boxes, DRAW CONFIDENTLY. Straight strong lines first then work on accuracy

Ellipses

Also incredibly wobbly(refer back to lines) and sometimes in the funnel and plane exercise you drew on loop for your elipses. "Ellipses must be drawn through ellipses 2 to 3 times, (2 times preferably)"(drawabox critique guide).

Boxes

Same issue with lines, however your rotated boxes exercise is good. Also in organic perspective the beginning boxes are way too small, slowly increase the size otherwise the scale is thrown out of order.

Overall

Unfortunately you need to redo lesson 1 again, lesson 1 is to encourage confident strong lines and it seems like this isn't there.

.

Some ellipses look wobbly, this more apparent on the ellipses on planes.

In rough perspective 1 there's visible wobbling in the lines, not as much as on the second page.

The rotated boxes looks pretty spot on, great!

One thing I can suggest for ellipses is for you to start it at different points and/or changing the direction (clockwise, counter clockwise) to see which one tends to give out better results. This is the kind of thing you can do with a pencil, just to get a good feel of the alternatives.

Hello parippuvada!

It appears you're missing a few exercises:

• 1 page of ellipses in funnels

• 1 page of plotted perspective

• 1 page of organic perspective (1 page) (There was a duplicate linked out)

If you can please upload those 3 pages, I'd be more than happy to take a look at this submission.

I think you done it well. Maybe you could have place your ghosted plains a bit closer and naturaly, and on the two point perspective part you vent a bit over board with that many boxes but, good job.

Hello! Here's some feedback:

**Lines***

• Superimposed Lines: Good job on starting your lines directly on the point. The lines also look fairly confident.

• Ghosted Lines: Some lines have a wobble or curve to them, especially near the end. This usually happens when we consciously try to get our lines to end on the dot we've drawn. It's natural to do want to do this but remember to prioritise confidence over accuracy as accuracy will come with time and practice. There's not much we can do with wobbly lines.

• Ghosted Planes: Same comments as above, although I noticed that some lines are more confident, so good job.

Ellipses

• Tables: Ellipses are tight and within the bounds. Most seem to be drawn confidently, although some of the narrower ones have a bit of wobble. Try angling the paper so that you draw the ellipse at an angle where you can utilize your shoulder pivot.

• Planes: Good job on keeping the ellipses tight and confident.

• Funnels: Ditto as above. The ellipses are also fairly parallel to your minor axis lines.

Boxes

• Plotted Perspective: Completed; no comments here.

• Rough Perspective: Some of the horizontal and vertical lines for the boxes farther away from your vanishing point are not parallel with the horizon line or page edge. Don't worry though - you'll work on this in the 250 Box Challenge.

• Rotated Boxes: Good spacing around the boxes. The boxes along the top/bottom of your "sphere" could have been rotated more (since they should be almost flat), but it's still a good attempt!

• Organic Boxes: Good use of scale to construct 3D space. Some boxes have lines that are a bit out of perspective but you'll have more practice in the 250 Box Challenge.

Other / Responses to your questions

• I did notice halfway through that you used multiple pens with different widths. You'd probably want to stick a pen that has a 0.5 width and is black (or a similar dark colour). This width gives a strong enough stroke to learn from our lines (for example, you would see less of a wobble with a thicker pen although that wobble would still be there).

• It's hard to end directly on a point but that will come through practice. Focus on making sure your lines are confident, first! Don't be afraid to take your time while ghosting to really get the feel of your movement so you can execute it confidently.

• Some inkier pens might produce lighter lines depending on the surface you're drawing on. For me, I find that when I put a few pieces of paper underneath I can produce a stronger line because of the softer surface. See the FAQ for more info on pens.

Hi ;)

Your post is missing rough perspective, rotated boxes and organic perspective exercises.
