Thanks for the review and critique. The examples of converging pairs and relationship diagram is helpful. I'll move on to lesson 2. Have a great day.

Sounds good. I'll try to find a good balance than depending on the situation. Thanks Rob.
Hi Rob. Thank you for the expedient critique.
For clarification on the ghosted planes, when you say I didn't fully bisect them are you referring to the actual ghosted planes pages, or are you referring to the elipses with planes pages? If you are referring to the actual ghosted planes pages, can I get a bit more clarification on which bisection I'm missing? If you're referring to the planes in the elispses in planes pages, then I understand what you're referring to here.
Points noted on the funnels and line weight remarks. For the funnels I did want to try to add different degrees. But as I went through the exercise, just getting the accuracy and smooth line work seemed to be meeting/surpassing my capabilities so I refrained. I guess I should have went for it anyway? (I have since tried it in warmups).
And for the line weight, I'll try to be more subtle. I will note that a lot of my thick lines weren't me intending to add line weight, but resulted from me missing on my initial attempts with the line and then deciding to try to redraw it more accurately. I found that on the assignments like the rotated boxes, and organic perspective, which rely on relating your subsequent lines to line that are already drawn, leaving a line at an angle I didn't intend, made it much harder to visualize where I had to go with the next one. So I started redrawing missed lines instead of just leaving the errors for my own sake.
Do you think its better if I refrain from doing so in future exercises and just deal with the additional challenge in terms of visualizing my next lines? Or is it better to have a thicker line than intended if it helps me to visualize the form properly in 3D space? (In terms of practice, I mean. Obviously I know I won't want to have unintended thick lines in my art in general).
Thanks again for the critique. I'll move to the 250 box challenge now.
Got ya. I'll submit with the photos then. Thanks for the quick response and the info.
Some of you may remember James Gurney's breathtaking work in the Dinotopia series. This is easily my favourite book on the topic of colour and light, and comes highly recommended by any artist worth their salt. While it speaks from the perspective of a traditional painter, the information in this book is invaluable for work in any medium.
