LINES

Your lines look mostly good, there are a few arching lines but they all look confident as they should be. Good job.

ELLIPSES

The ellipses also look mostly good, but there are some wobbly ellipses. Remember that confidence is always more important than accuracy and try to keep the ellipses with a smooth and even flow. For the table of ellipses you can squeeze the ellipses closer together a little more, but you got the positions right, what is good. So keep practicing your ellipses to get rid of the wobbly lines.

BOXES

You did a god job on those. There are some small distortion on the boxes on the rough perspective and organic perspective exercises, so to get this better it's essential that you do the 250 boxes challenge and also go through the lesson provided for the challenge. It will help your "inner sense" of perspective and to draw boxes with a better convincement of a 3d form.

Good job! Your ellipses looks a lot more confident now. Remember that confidence is more important than accuracy, you can lose a bit of accuracy to get more confident ellipses.

Also I saw an improvement on your oraganic forms, but you have a few bulging sausages, look for keeping the sausages simple, (a tube with spheres at the edges). But overall the organic forms are good and you got the right shape for most of them.

ARROWS

Your arrows look good. You got pretty confident lines, the only suggestion would be for you to try some more "extreme" perspective distortions with your arrows coming from far away and getting closer. But overall it looks great.

ORGANIC FORMS

The sausages look mostly good, but you got wobbly ellipses. Remember that for these exercises is more important to get confident lines and ellipses than wobbly ones. Even if the wobbly ellipses are very accurate, stay with the ellipses with confident smooth and even flow. Also a faw sausages are a bit bulky looking, so remember to keep the sausages with simple shapes, like it was explained [here].(https://d15v304a6xpq4b.cloudfront.net/lesson_images/0128c0e3.jpg)

TEXTURES

The textures looks OK. Remember for the texture exercises you should draw mostly cast shadows and not contours. You should look a lot to the references before making any mark copying it to the paper.

FORM INSTERSECTIONS

Good job on those, you got the lines where the forms intersect pretty well. The observation goes for your wobbly ellipses and spherical shapes, so try to ghost more you ellipses before drawing on paper and again remember to keep them confident.

ORGANIC INTERSECTIONS

Again you did a good job on those. They look believable as 3d forms interacting together. Remember that you can increase the line weight to clarify overlaps too.

Thank's again for the critique.

This time I did the exercises focusing more on keeping the forms of the sausages simple, there were some forms that a I felt some distortion on the balls at the end so I try to solve that with the perspective of the contour lines.

Also focused on the cast shadows on the organic intersection exercise.

Hello,

Keep doing the ellipses exercises of this lessons as warm ups every once and a while, remember to ghost the ellipses, draw with your shoulders, also draw through the ellipses as it hard to get the ellipse shape at first (try not to draw through it more than 2 or 3 times cause if you "overdraw" the lines will get thicker and it may become a bad habit). Remember it's better to keep the ellipses smooth and even.

For another exercise of ellipses, if you are having trouble drawing ellipses, I'd suggest you just draw ellipses on a blank page and try to make big ellipses and with different angles (ellipses with closed angles that are thinner and ellipses with open angles that are rounder) it will help you to build muscle memory and have more confindence to draw ellipses.

Now for the boxes, the 250 boxes challenge will improve your boxes a lot, on the challenge page you will also find info about drawing boxes.

Hope it will help you.

LINES AND PLANES

Your first three exercises look good, there are some lines in the ghosting exercise that look a little bit curvy, but you will solve this as you go practicing more.

ELLIPSES

There are a few issues on those, first on the ellipses on planes your ellipses look wobbly, remember that smooth and even ellipses are better than accuracy on the exercises of this lesson. So try to ghost more your lines before drawing then and it's better if the ellipse go a little off the plane than a wobbly ellipse. Remember to keep it "ovoid".

Second for the funnels exercise, on the lines you drew on the top right of the page, you should had kept the ellipses growing hitting both lines as if you were drawing the contour lines of a cone. But the ellipses you drew on the funnels are good.

BOXES

Mostly good job with the boxes. The biggest issue here is with the rough perspective boxes that had some distortions on the back side of the boxes. The lines on this back plane should be parallel to the lines of the front plane as they won't be plotted to vanishing points. So try not to get these lines wrong cause they will make your boxes not look like boxes.

Thank you for the well-explained critique. I finished the exercises you asked following your tips I guess I did a bit better this time.

Congratulations for finishing the first lesson, you had a good start.

So your lines looks really great there is not much I could add about it.

For the ellipses, as it would be nice if you keep doing all the exercises of this lessons every once in a while to warm up before drawing, in the table of ellipses everything looks good but it would be nice if you try to vary the angle of the ellipses a bit more, like you did in the ellipses for the funnels exercise. Now for the ellipses in planes exercise, I'd suggest you try to ghost your ellipses more times before drawing it, there's some small distortions in some ellipses that made them not look very "oval", but over all all the exercises for ellipse part were well done.

About the boxes, I personally think the rotating boxes is the most tough exercise and you did it pretty well. I can see that your boxes from the rough perspective and from the organic perspective exercises had some distortions, to correct it the 250 boxes challenge will help.

Thanks for your feedback. I did the revision of the rough perspective exercise doing the line extending in the right way like it was explained in the lesson.
