Thanks a lot for your help, I'm going to put you advice into practice and I hope I cope with the ellipses better then on :D

No worries, I thought that could've been it. Yeah it doesn't need to be on the same imgur upload, it can be a separate link.

Send them through in another reply once you've done them :)

Hi Divinestride! I'll have a look at your submissions and give you some feedback :)

LINES SUBMISSIONS

Super imposed lines look really good, very steady and you've followed the instructions well. Ghosted lines look good, too! Ghosted planes are great, good use of space on the page, good smooth-flowing lines and you've gone through them the right number of times as well. One is missing the bisecting lines, make sure you take your time to carefully complete all the assignments, the effort you put into it will pay off!

ELLIPSES SUBMISSIONS

Good job filling up the page on the table of ellipses assignment. Good variety of orientations, it looks like you worked very hard, well done! Ellipses in planes look great. The funnels are good, a few have a great dynamic in the varying degrees of the ellipses, try to keep this up with all of them! The funnel in the top left is a little lacking, try your best to make sure the ellipses are making contact side-by-side with one another as well as with the outer curves, and also make sure to go through the ellipses at least twice.

BOXES SUBMISSIONS

Plotted perspective is great! Very neatly done, I think they look really good. Rough perspectives, well done! They have generally very consistent convergences towards your set VP, I see you even marked with ticks and crosses, you did better than me! The one going off the frame with the question mark, that happened to me too, it was very baffling how that is managed xD Your rotated boxes submission looks so good, packed together really well, you took the time to make sure all lines were congruent with their respective lines, the outer boxes are quite far out, I'm not sure if you were initially intending on making the whole thing that big, but try to make sure that you are aiming to have those lining up with the boxes when you make your way to that part, they should be tucked in nicely at the sides. Organic perspective looks really cool, the only thing I'd say to improve on is trying to have more varying sizes through the frames, with very big boxes at the foreground, the gradient between the sizes of the big and small boxes could be more dramatic.

Hi Lvbomb, the imgur you've linked is fine!

I'll take a look at each submission and give you my feedback :)

LINES SUBMISSIONS

Super-imposed lines looking good, make sure you're either reaching the point marked out or overshooting, undershooting is to be avoided, but it looks like you've rarely done this! One thing, try to make sure with future submissions you take the photos of your papers from directly above so that you're not cutting out any of the page as this has happened with a few of yours I see. You seem to be missing the ghosted lines assignment from your submission. The photos of your ghosted planes are all with ellipses in them, you should have two pages of planes without ellipses, but that's okay, from what I can see, the planes are all good. Always strive to make each and every line as straight as possible, practicing to draw from your shoulder, rather than elbow or wrist. Don't rush with anything you do, because taking your time will mean you'll get the best results you can and you will gain the most from what you do.

ELLIPSES SUBMISSIONS

Your tables of ellipses look fine, you've done well at letting the lines flow rather than making them wobbly to get better "precision", good use of all available space. Make sure you only go through the ellipse a max of 3 times to avoid it looking too muddy. Great experimentation with different orientations! Some of your ellipses have a straight line through their major axes, try to avoid doing this and keeping the lines to be as consistent as possible around it whilst maintaining the technique of drawing from the shoulder. Ellipses in planes are looking generally good, again, make sure you don't rush. The funnels are the ones I found hardest to do, but I think you did them really well! Take your time when you draw the axes through the middle of the two outer curves so that you make sure it's as best centered as you can get it. I'd say one way you could improve is to try to get the degree to increase as the ellipses go further out of the funnel, which would mean making them wider from their minor axes. Also, always try to use up as much space as possible on every page.

BOXES SUBMISSIONS

Great job with the plotted perspective! Good neat lines, and I like how you used different colours on the bottom panel :) The VPs are placed nice and wide, but you could potentially have fit in one or two more boxes on each frame at either side, however it seems fine. You've only submitted one page for the rough perspective assignment. The one you have submitted looks alright, I'd say to improve it by making the VP more off-centered, but not too far to the side, and plotting your boxes in a wider variety of places within the frames, you also could have done at least five or six boxes for each frame. One more thing is that you should be using a different coloured pen to draw the lines going back to the VP from the boxes after you've done them to check your accuracy, I can see on one you've very faintly done this with the same pen, but the top frame doesn't have it at all. The rotated boxes look okay, perhaps try to draw it a little bigger, taking more time to carefully plot each line congruent to its respective line which it runs alongside, but this one was a really hard assignment! Organic perspective looks good, very adventurous guidelines placed! I would say one way you could improve this is to show a greater dynamic between the sizes of the cubes that are at the foreground to the ones which go off into the background, the gradient of the sizes are quite minimal, however it seems okay, and remember, take your time with each line and you will then improve the fastest!

super-imposed lines

I think these look really great! The majority of the lines look very straight. Just an observation than with some of the longer lines, they start off with a very subtle upward curve, I'm still learning myself but this probs just requires proper use of the full arm, shoulder down.

Good job allowing the lines to fray at the correct end ;)

ghosted lines

Very good straight lines, perhaps the page could have been filled up quite a bit more than you have, but that shouldn't require a revision since you do it many times in the other exercises.

ghosted planes

Lots of super straight lines, and a good variety of differently shaped and sized rectangles. One is missing the bisecting lines, but that's okay! Be patient and make sure you don't rush.

The rest I haven't done yet myself and am not aware of the rules of the exercises so I'll just give an overall critique of them.

They all look really good I'd say, the rotated box one looks so cool! I think you've done a pretty good job with staying consistent doing the straight line techniques on the cuboids you've drawn.
