As you've help me critique my work, I'll also critique your work. I am a beginner and I will give feedback base on my understanding, instructions by Uncomfortable and observations. In my honest opinion, In your superimposed lines your lines are good but some of the longer lines are wobbly. I suggest you change your speed and execute your lines confidently. The goal in this lesson is to improve confidence making smooth lines. Accuracy is only a second matter. In ghosted lines, your accuracy is really good, however "maybe" because you mind too much on your accuracy, you forgot to make your lines smooth and confident. Accuracy and confidence is important in this lesson. Overall they're good.

I have observed that you are more confident in drawing ellipses than lines. Most of your ellipses fit on the planes and they're smooth-looking. My only concern in your table of ellipses is that there are spaces. All ellipses should snuggle and be fit inside the plane.

In your plotted perspective, there are some boxes that have scratchy lines. Other than that, the direction of the lines towards the VP are correct as well as the space between the two VPs. There are no distorted boxes. Over-all it's good. For your boxes in rough perspective and organic perspective. Youhave a sense of where the box will be facing. The boxes are actually rotating, the gaps are narrow and consistent which is good, however some lines are a little bit scratchy and messy. I think you have the sense of perspective and you understand it and it will improve more in 250 box challenge.

I suggest to perform ghosted lines as warm-up before drawing. It improves confidence and accuracy.

Good job!

P.S english is not my first language but I hope you understand

Understood perfectly!

I can see what you mean about my line smoothness - I'm in the early stage of 250 boxes and will continue to warm up with ghosting exercises.

Thanks for taking the time to review my work!

Ellipse Master Template

Ellipse Master Template

This recommendation is really just for those of you who've reached lesson 6 and onwards.

I haven't found the actual brand you buy to matter much, so you may want to shop around. This one is a "master" template, which will give you a broad range of ellipse degrees and sizes (this one ranges between 0.25 inches and 1.5 inches), and is a good place to start. You may end up finding that this range limits the kinds of ellipses you draw, forcing you to work within those bounds, but it may still be worth it as full sets of ellipse guides can run you quite a bit more, simply due to the sizes and degrees that need to be covered.

No matter which brand of ellipse guide you decide to pick up, make sure they have little markings for the minor axes.
