    Superimposed Lines: You have a nice variety of lines, however your lines are fraying on both ends and they're wobbly. Remember to always take your time when setting down you pen and confidence over accuracy. Also relax, use your entire arm, then commit.

    Ghosted Lines: Nice. I'm not too concerned with the lines missing their mark. But I am worried about the slight wobble though. Never sacrifice a smooth line for a more accurate one. Accuracy will come with time and practice.

    Ghosted Planes: Good. Two pages filled with a nice variety of sizes and angles. and you plotted all of your points, Good job! But, I am concerned about the wobble. Unlike most people your wobble is not that bad but it's still noticeable. Be sure to rotate the page, ghost the lines as many times as needed, and in one smooth stroke put down your line. We would rather have straight lines over accurate lines at this point.

    Ellipses in planes: Good. The ellipses are all drawn through but some overlap the planes. Remember to ghost your ellipses and relax.

    Table of Ellipses: The first thing I am noticing is that your positioning is off at times, try to fit your ellipses snuggly. Second, Your angle is off, try to imagine the major axis and compare it to neighboring ellipses. And all The line starts out wobbly, but by drawing through you ellipses we get that smoothness that we're looking for.

    Funnels: Very Good. The ellipses are all properly aligned, touching with minimal overlapping and the minor axis cuts most of them in half neatly.

    Plotted Perspective: Nah, the shading isn't that bad. I'm guessing you spaced out a bit or got confused. Just as how you should draw through your boxes, your shading should follow.

    Rough Perspective: Good. The boxes are drawn through and you used a straight edge to create guidelines back towards the VP. Line quality needs work. Plot your points and focus on that smooth ghosted stroke that we've been practicing. Try to free your mind of any other concerns when you making those lines. Also keep in mind that the straighter your horizontal and vertical lines are, the sturdier your boxes construction will be.

    Rotated Perspective: Very good. Keep in mind that Drawabox tries to instill in you that each line should be carefully considered and that their are consequences for putting down said lines. We should not be correcting lines in this early stage of learning. Remember to follow 3 point perspective, front and back, left and right, top and bottom plane follow the same VPs.

    Organic Perspective: You have a nice variety of shapes and angles, but some lines deviate away from the VP. And again, try to avoid correcting lines. We will learn more about the "Y" method of box construction and working with 3 point perspective in the 250 box challenge.

    Overall Thoughts: Good. I feel that you focus a little too much on accuracy over smoothness but overall the work has been completed and the majority of the instructions have been followed. Keep practicing that ghosted strokes by revisiting these exercises and in the 250 Box challenge. Please take note that I am a beginner like you, take this critique with a grain of salt as it is based on my thoughts, this guideline (https://pastebin.com/dYnFt9PQ) and other critiques.

    Next Steps:

    Good Luck with the 250 box challenge!!

    Superimposed Lines: You have a nice variety of lines, however your lines are fraying on both ends and they're wobbly. Remember to always take your time when setting down you pen and confidence over accuracy.

    Ghosted Lines: Nice. I'm not too concerned with the lines missing their mark. But I am worried about the wobble and curves though. Never sacrifice a smooth line for a more accurate one. Accuracy will come with time and practice. Keep in mind that Drawabox tries to instill in you that each line should be carefully considered and that their are consequences for putting down said lines. We should not be correcting lines in this early stage of learning.

    Ghosted Planes: Good. Two pages filled to the brim with a nice variety of sizes and angles. And you plotted all of your points, Nice! Again, though, I'm concerned about the wobble. Your wobble is not that bad but it's still shows sometimes. Be sure to rotate that page, ghost the lines as many times as needed, and in one smooth stroke put down your line. We would rather have straight lines over accurate lines at this point. Again, try to avoid correcting your lines as this builds confidence in your line work.

    Table of Ellipses: The angles could use some work, imagine the major axis of the ellipse and compare it to the others next to it. Your positioning is great with minor errors like overlaps and ellipses shy off the border. And your line work is wobbly but by drawing through you ellipses we get that smoothness that we're looking for. Keep the angle consistent. Remember to use your entire arm when doing these exercises.

    Ellipses in planes: Good. The ellipses are all drawn through but some overlap the planes. Noticeable wobble but it will improve over time and remember to use your arm, resting the side of your palm (Not too hard) on the paper.

    Funnels: Very Good. The ellipses are all properly aligned, touching with minimal overlapping and the minor axis cuts them in half neatly.

    Plotted Perspective: Close to perfect. You have good line weight control but apparently you need to use the ruler for hatching.

    Rough Perspective: Good. The boxes are drawn through and you used a straight edge to create guidelines back towards the VP. Line quality needs work. Plot your points and focus on that smooth ghosted stroke that we've been practicing. Try to free your mind of any other concerns when you making those lines. Also keep in mind that the straighter your horizontal and vertical lines are, the sturdier your boxes construction will be.

    Rotated Perspective. Very good. However, the rear face of the box should also follow the vp of the front.

    Organic Perspective: Good. I've noticed your perspective is off at times. Just remember to use the "Y" method so you don't get confused and to keep your vp's consistent. We will learn more about the "Y" method of box construction and working with 3 point perspective in the 250 box challenge.

    Overall Thoughts: I'm noticing your line work has curves all of a sudden, just remember to use your entire arm and take your time ghosting your lines but by in large the work has been completed and the majority of the instructions have been followed. Keep practicing that ghosted strokes by revisiting these exercises and in the 250 Box challenge. Also, Nice handwriting dude!

    Superimposed Lines: First of all, you could add variety to your curves as both pages are basically just right brackets of different sizes. Try doing "C" and "S" curves. Second, I am noticing a slight wobble and your lines are fraying on both ends. Take your time when setting down you pen and confidence over accuracy. Accuracy will come with time and practice.

    Ghosted Lines: Nice. I'm not too concerned with the lines missing their mark. The wobble is less noticeable and again, Never sacrifice a smooth line for a more accurate one.

    Ghosted Planes: Good. Two pages filled to the brim with a nice variety of sizes and angles. and you plotted all of your points, good job! Again, though, I'm concerned about the wobble. Unlike most people your wobble is not that bad but it's still noticeable. Be sure to rotate that page, ghost the lines as many times as needed, and in one smooth stroke put down your line. We would rather have straight lines over accurate lines at this point.

    Table of Ellipses: You could work on your positioning as some ellipses have a gap between them, some ellipses seem to loose its shape and angle. Remember the position, angle, degree, and size are your concrete goals for this exercise. Over time, you will be able to tighten and draw smoother ellipses.

    Ellipses in planes: The ellipses are all drawn through but some overlap the planes. Try to touch all sides of the plane as it is second priority for this exercise.

    Funnels: Good. The ellipses deviate away from the minor axis, touching with minimal overlapping.

    Plotted Perspective: Very Good. I have nothing much to say about this part.

    Rough Perspective: Good. The boxes are drawn through and you used a straight edge to create guidelines back towards the VP. Line quality needs work. Plot your points and focus on that smooth ghosted stroke that we've been practicing. Try to free your mind of any other concerns when you making those lines. Also keep in mind that the straighter your horizontal and vertical lines are, the sturdier your boxes construction will be.

    Rotated Perspective. The rear plane also should follow the front plane's perspective. Besides that, You did a good job on this one. Very good!!

    Organic Perspective: Good. You could have a nice variety of shapes and angles.

    Overall Thoughts: You did great! I feel that your line work is clean but a little wobbly at times. Overall, the work has been completed and the majority of the instructions have been followed. Please take note that I am a beginner like you, take this critique with a grain of salt as it is based on my thoughts, this guideline (https://pastebin.com/dYnFt9PQ) and other critiques.

We should not be correcting lines in this early stage of learning. I get it, rotated perspective is hard but try to keep this in mind. Also use the other boxes for reference to know how to structure the exercise.

    Organic Perspective: Good. You could add a variety of shapes, angles and go beyond the line, the purpose of the line is to have an idea on the box's scale. We will learn more about the "Y" method of box construction and working with 3 point perspective in the 250 box challenge.

    Your line work is very clean. You could maybe use some work with the longer lines and curves lines, focus on plotting the starting and end point for direction. As fou your ellipses. they are wobbly. You could try ghosting before you draw it. Another tip I have is to clear up your table and flatten the page on the table so your hand doesn't hover over the edge.

    I am a beginner like you so take this critique with a grain of salt and wait for other critiques.

    Next Steps:

    I think you are ready for the 250 box exercise. Good luck!

These are my favourite sketchbooks, hands down. Move aside Moleskine, you overpriced gimmick. These sketchbooks are made by entertainment industry professionals down in Los Angeles, with concept artists in mind. They have a wide variety of sketchbooks, such as toned sketchbooks that let you work both towards light and towards dark values, as well as books where every second sheet is a semitransparent vellum.
