Good morning Ambot!

It looks like you are having trouble with the smoothness of your arm movement. Some ways of helping with this are drawing faster, drawing with more confidence, and ghosting until you are comfortable with the movement.

I would recommend getting a third option, and moving on to the 250 box challenge.

Keep consistently doing your warmups, and those lines will shape up!

Cheers!

Looks pretty decent!

Superimposed lines: a bit wobbly, but you shape up later.

Ghosted lines: they seem a little bit rushed. Remember the three levels, and the goal. The goal is to execute a smooth straight line, with levels 1-3 being your accuracy to the dots. Remember to execute your lines with confidence.

Ghosted planes: Your lines have improved! Also, I would recommend warping the planes a bit more. It challenges your ellipses in planes to be better understood.

Tables of ellipses: Over all, your ellipses are proportionally good, but they look a tad wobbly. I would recommend ghosting them more, and then drawing them just like your ghosting.

Ellipses in planes: Same problem with the ellipsis from the previous exercise, but to a lesser extent in most. Most of your ellipses look good, but some of your ellipses look warped. Try to imagine the ellipse over the plane as a circle, then turn it until it falls into the area within the plane.

Ellipses in funnels: Again, your ellipses are wobbly. Make sure to warm up before doing course work, and make sure to rotate between the exercises in your warmups.

Plotted Perspective: Well done. Some back corner lines were off, but probably from where you placed your straightedge.

Rough perspective: Would you look at that, better lines! Remember to trust the process. Sometimes as we practice, we don't see the improvement over time.

One note on these, I found it helpful to always ghost back to the vanishing point before I place a point in the rear of the box. It helps the accuracy of the box.

Rotated boxes: Looks pretty good. A bit of line wobble. just remember to warm-up, and draw confidently. DD Mark on YouTube has some great confidence inspiration, and is very entertaining.

Organic perspective: Not bad. Your lines have shaped up, and the boxes are decent.

It's time for the 250 box challenge! Remember to do your warmups from the pool of completed exercises, and ghost those points!

If it sounds too daunting, limit yourself to just five boxes a day. Your warmups will help you stay sharp, while drawing the boxes works on your spacial reasoning.

If something I say seems wrong, make sure to get a second opinion. I'm not an expert, and make as many mistakes as the next person.

Hang in there, and remember to enjoy the journey!

I'm glad I could help!

Thank-you so much! I don't really know how to interact in an environment like this, so I'll give a rough draft of my plan to follow-up.

Fraying: I need more consistent repetition and control. As of now, I believe that I am rushing it too much, and need to practice drawing confident lines without whipping my hand around.

Ghosted Plains: Make them less rectangular in 2D space by reducing the length of the foreshortened side.

Ghosted Ellipsis: I need mileage and confidence with my ellipsis, instead of just doing them quickly to attempt to get them consistent. Work on fluid arm movement.

Rough Perspective: Thanks! I'll be sure to do it correctly next time.

Rotated Boxes: Probably shouldn't have done them in my lap lol.

Organic Perspective: Need to think about it more three dimensionally instead of relying on guesswork. Perhaps observe the angle with my pen before plotting my ghosting points.

If anything here looks wrong, feedback (given that you have the time) is appreciated.

Thank-you!

Emmet.

Hi!

I recently noticed a similar effect, but have been able to come to a solution.

This is possibly a side effect of the movement distance on your board being different than the moment distance on your screen. I solved it for myself by setting the active area on my board to the size of my screen.

Hope this helps!
