Hello, and welcome to drawabox. Let’s take this one exercise at a time, shall we?

Starting with your superimposed lines, these looks good. They’re smooth, properly lined up at the start, and of a consistent trajectory. There is the occasional wobble in your arcing lines, but this is likely due to their size. Generally, the smaller a mark, the more difficult it is to execute with the unfamiliar shoulder pivot. As such, we recommend drawing big. The ghosted lines/planes look quite confident, too, though I see traces of your slowing down, as you’re approaching the end point. This is, in fact, incorrect. The issue is that it causes your line to wobble, or have its trajectory altered, in exchange for accuracy; but we care little for accuracy. We just want our lines to be smooth, and straight.

The table of ellipses exercise is decent, though it could be better. One issue is that the ellipses start off a little stiff, and only become confident in their second rotation. This is indicative of a lack of ghosting. Ghost until ready, then commit. Another is that they’re bumpy. This usually means that the student is more concerned with filling the frame, than with having the resulting ellipse be smooth, and rounded, but that’s having your prioritizes backwards. Confidence, over accuracy, always. The ellipses in planes exercise has these issues too, though to a lesser extent. They do absolutely apply here too, however. The reason this is important is because a smooth mark is one we can work with, however inaccurate it may be, but a wobbly one, regardless of how accurate, will never be able to convey the solidity we desire. As for the funnels, these continue the trend of improvement, though you can still push yourself in that direction (and you should!) Aside from minor issues of confidence, however, things are looking good. Your ellipses are snug, and properly cut into equal, symmetrical halves by their respective minor axes. Well done.

The plotted perspective exercise looks good, though you should’ve used a ruler for the hatching, and had it go from one edge of the plane to the net, rather than float inside of it.

The rough perspective exercise looks good (save for a tiny misstep in the leftmost part of the last frame (excited to finish? Haha.)) Your linework is confident, and it’s clear that you’re taking your time planning out your convergences. You could take even longer, however. To that end, I’ll tell you about a little trick you can use to tell if your box is correct before you’ve actually drawn it. Simply, look at the 4 points you’ve got on your page (the ones pertaining to the far face of your box), and compare the plane they form to the on the front. If the box is correct, then the planes should be of the exact same shape, but not size (the far one being smaller.) If not, then they won’t be. If you look at the unfortunately, aforementioned box in the last frame, for instance, you’ll note that its front face is a rectangle, while it’s back face is a square.

Though it’s missing 4 boxes (the cornermost ones), the rotated boxes exercise looks good. It’s fairly big, the boxes are snug, rotating, and properly drawn through. There’s the occasional issue regarding their far planes, and the odd line that diverges, instead of converging, but neither are causes for worry- you’ll be learning all about them in the upcoming box challenge. Feel free to give this exercise another shot then, just to see how far you’ve come.

The organic perspective exercise looks great, save for one little problem: you haven’t used the ghosting method, here. That is to say, you haven’t plotted 2 points, ghosted between them, and executed, and instead have drawn arbitrary lines, that often overshoot the point of intersection, because of a lack of planning. This is incorrect. As mentioned in the ghosted lines page, every single line you draw from now on, is drawn using the ghosting method. That said, aside from that, this exercise looks good. The boxes increase in size, but maintain a shallow, consistent foreshortening, there’s plenty of boxes, and plenty of overlaps, and you’ve even added some lineweight to clarify them.

Well done, and feel free to move on to the box challenge. Good luck!
