Hi Connor! i hope you´re having a very good christmas. First of all, from now on you should focus on the confidence in your lines. They are generally woobly, and sometimes tend to curve. This is specially seen in the rotated boxes exercise, where the boxes keep losing their proportions (notice how the boxes on the other side of the first VP are different from one another).
The first exercise, the superimposed lines, doesn´t respect the instructions on making the first 5-6 strokes on a straight line, be sure to read the instructions and watching the videos before getting into the making of the exercise
I´ll point however, that in the organic perspective this confidence has improved, and your elipses are well done. i advise you to focus on the confidence of your lines and pay attention to the instructions.
Next Steps:
Work in building your line confidence and you´ll master the 250 boxes challenge.

Hi Pluto, thank you so much for this review. I apologize it took me so long to get back to you. I was able to take your information and advice to help me complete Lesson 2 and the 250 box challenge. 250 box challenge is posted to my profile and I hope to upload lesson 2 tomorrow.
My lines are much less wobbly (I attribute this to ghosting) but they still tend to curve a great deal. I even notice this curvature when I am ghosting. Any tips to help with this?

Hello Connor! i´m so glad to hear from you again. And regarding your curves, Uncomfy in lesson 1 recommends curving the line the other way around, says it helps you fixing the curve. But i think it´s more a of a matter of practice, just don´t worry too much and don´t hesitate.

The Art of Blizzard Entertainment
While I have a massive library of non-instructional art books I've collected over the years, there's only a handful that are actually important to me. This is one of them - so much so that I jammed my copy into my overstuffed backpack when flying back from my parents' house just so I could have it at my apartment. My back's been sore for a week.
The reason I hold this book in such high esteem is because of how it puts the relatively new field of game art into perspective, showing how concept art really just started off as crude sketches intended to communicate ideas to storytellers, designers and 3D modelers. How all of this focus on beautiful illustrations is really secondary to the core of a concept artist's job. A real eye-opener.
