Looks good! Ellipses seem to be much cleaner and better fitted into the plane, and lines seem to have more of a natural trajectory.

Enjoy the 250 box challenge!

Heya,

Congrats on finishing the first lesson!

Some things I noticed:

Lines:

Superimposed – These seem to be showing a fair bit of wobble - while having your lines fray at one end is fine for now, it looks like a lot of the time your lines seem arch back towards the ruled lines or wobble around the middle. The objective is really to be getting straight lines, not ones that closely follow the ruler. This should improve with practice, but also make sure you're drawing from the shoulder as that can reduce the arc of the lines

Ghosted lines – Again seeing some wobble here, and lines overshooting/missing the point they're being drawn to. Will improve with practice so don't worry.

Ghosted Planes – ghosted lines maybe look a little better here, good work!

Ellipses:

Tables – Great! ellipses feel pretty even and you've drawn through with good accuracy. In some of the angled ellipses the minor axes don't feel quite aligned but nothing too major.

Funnels – Look pretty decent, however, a fair amount of the ellipses go over the edges of the funnel - make sure you're ghosting first to try and prevent this from happening.

Planes – For some of these, you've definitely drawn through more than 3 times - you should only be going around the ellipse 2-3 times, as otherwise theres such a huge variation in the placement of lines and its hard to tell whats going on. For the clerarer ones you've drawn, they mostly feel alright, but some lines extend out of the plane - again make sure you're ghosting to prevent this.

Boxes:

Plotted perspective – Great

Rough perspective – Convergences look pretty decent, which is the main thing. Only points are that sometimes on the front face not all of the lines are parallel to the edges of the page - as this is 1PP these should always be straight and perpendicular. Make sure you're only extending your lines down to the horizon line and no further as this makes it easier to see just how accurate they are.

Rotated boxes – Excellent job on this - all boxes feel well rotated and not distorted.

Organic Perspective – Again, good job. Boxes feel like they are moving back through space and limes seem to be converging roughly to vanishing points. Sometime they're a little off, but the 250 boxes will fix that.

Overall really good effort, most of the issues I can see are from the lines in the first tasks, but these actually seem to be improving in later exercises.

Yeah, they look better. Just keep practicing ellipses and any other exercises you think need work from time to time when warming up and they'll improve no problem.

Unfortunately judging yourself is just kinda natural when learning something new, all I can recommend is trying not to worry too much and appreciating that even getting a result you're not happy with is still a good thing as you took the time to try to improve, and have likely learnt a thing or two along the way.

Still, great job finishing the lesson - enjoy the box challenge!

Heya,

Congrats on finishing the first lesson!

Some things I noticed:

Lines:

Superimposed – for the most part pretty good, however, in some cases towards the ends of your lines they begin to arch back towards the ruled line – keeping these lines straight is more important than keeping them close to the ruler initially. Not too bad, but just watch out if you do this exercise again as a warmup and make sure that you’re pivoting from the shoulder. Curved lines are a little wobbly but just keep practicing.

Ghosted lines – Looking pretty confident, nice work! They don’t always meet the points you've put down, but that’ll come with practice.

Ghosted Planes – Again pretty good.

Ellipses:

Tables – You’ve drawn through and for the most part they look pretty fluid. In a couple of places the degrees seem to vary a little, but not too badly. My main issue is that the ellipses should be touching the edges of the box and those next to it so that they fully fill their space – yours seem to be floating in space

Funnels – Mostly alright, but in a few places the minor axis of the ellipses doesn’t really align with the centreline you’ve drawn.

Planes – Same with the tables, the ellipses aren’t always meeting up with the edges of the planes (should touch the plane in the middle of each outer edge), which means the appearance of the ellip0ses being rotated in space doesn’t come through

Boxes:

Plotted perspective – Great!

Rough perspective – Pretty good, just make sure that the horizontal and vertical lines you draw are always parallel to the page as some of them show a decent amount of slant.

Rotated boxes – You did good for such a difficult exercise. I’m guessing you just drew the squares at the edges (representing boxes turned through the full 90 degrees) too far out and weren’t able to connect them. You’ve managed to get a pretty decent sense of the boxes rotating through space which is good, but you’ve missed a box on each of the corners.

Organic Perspective – boxes show a nice sense of depth through reduction in size, so good work on that. Sometimes the sets of lines don’t really seem to be converging towards vanishing points, but the 250 boxes will fix that.

Overall really good effort, most of the issues I can see are fairly minor and will be fixed with practice. All I recommend is doing some more ellipses and really making sure they fill the space they’re given.

Thanks for the feedback dude.

Not sure how i managed to miss the part about the windows, but hopefully these should be better: https://imgur.com/a/mHggc4c

The organic perspective is still pretty weak but i guess that'll improve with mileage.
