I was hesitant about adding speed as it makes the line even less accurate. But the course emphasises confidence first, then accuracy, and erring on the faster end is making the lines less wobbly. So is watching my fingers, which turn out to have been a totally unexpected additional pivot.

You are right. It looks like slower ghosting tends to be better ghosting, which leads to more accurate lines.

Thanks for replying. Here's some of the worse ghosted lines.. I'd have expected these not to show the issue if the problem is that I am not approaching the lines as individual lines, but I am making more of an effort to forget everything except the two plotted points once I get to the ghosting stage. It's looking like I should just carry on and they will hopefully improve.

Thanks. I know exactly what you mean, it's almost like "beginner's luck", I guess, where the first thing you do is get substantially worse at something before gradually improving back to where you were, whereupon you keep going. I am hoping that's the case here, Benj who gave me official critique feels I should keep going, which is promising.

Thanks for the thorough critique, Benj. Your points were all very helpful.

You asked me to come back if my boxes kept coming out wobbly. I'm currently ~30 boxes in to the 250 box challenge and, unfortunately, my lines have gone like they were in the rough perspective exercise again. Aside from wobbling/bending, they almost always drastically miss the mark. I did some more ghosted lines pages and the issues show up there, too.

I am drawing from the shoulder, watching posture, not taking too long between ghosting and executing, but there's still no improvement. That makes me suspect I'm forgetting something.

Whilst I'm ghosting, I can see that I'm not very accurate. The prospective line is all over the place. I don't know if that's relevant, but thought I'd mention it.

I've posted this as a community question but wondered whether you felt I should carry on with the 250 box challenge.
