The Ford Model K definitely ended up coming out a little wider, proportionally speaking.

This isn't just an issue with the ellipse, I made the vehicle one unit too wide! I missed unit proportions in quite a few drawings.

Thanks for all the feedback throughout this course!

The gum dispenser is definitely stretched vertically, I think I discovered that ellipses in planes in perspective may end up smaller than I expect and didn't account for that!

This is a great critique, thank you! I also thought my hybrid was subpar and almost wanted to redo for submission but decided against it in favor of the "move on" principle. I'll be working on it for sure.

Thanks for reviewing. I had some follow-up questions.

• I totally understand where I went wrong with the ant and beetle constructions of their outer shells. For some reason, in my mind, they were wrapped in something like an armor breastplate and decided that an air gap between the "flesh" and the shell made sense, but now I see why it doesn't in a construction drawing. Now that I think about it, armor is meant to be pretty snug anyway!

• With the mantis, I don't recall redrawing the abdomen so I don't understand this critique exactly. I drew the large shape first, added the two contour circles, and then later in the construction added the abdominal segmentation that I see in the reference. Finally I added line weight around the top abdominal segmentation. Can you clarify where I redrew the abdomen so I know not to maket that mistake again?

• For lesson 5 exercises, are we mandated to only have 1 page of construction-only drawing (specifically on birds), or am I misinterpreting?

Thanks for the review! To be clear regarding "TAs will ignore student self assessment or critique so as not to contaminate our own critique of your work." -- should I stop adding my self assessment or is it ok to add it here? It's mostly for my own benefit to practise being critical but of course I can just jot that down somewhere else instead.
