Lines

In the superimposed lines some lines look nice and confident. Some have bends It looks like you drew some of them very slowly.https://d15v304a6xpq4b.cloudfront.net/lesson_images/5bcda336.jpg It looks like the top line in the link. You should be drawing this line with speed. Be it curved or straight. You should ghost the motion of the line until you are confident with the motion. After this place your fineliner on the start of the line and speedily draw the line commiting to this motion. Do not draw it in slowly. Do it with speed.

Some of the ghosted lines dont stay on a straight path. Apply the method above, plot, ghost and speedilt draw. Lines of the hosted planes look better, a number are good.

Ellipses

The ellipses of the ghosted planes seem to have been drawn very slowly trying to make them touch all the corners. You should be ghosting ellipse where you want to place it. Then once confident with the motion, put pen to paper and execute the motion. Don't draw your ellipses slowly.

In the table of ellipses many of the ellipses are drawn through more than thrice, you should draw through the ellipse a minimum of twice and a maximum of thrice. https://d15v304a6xpq4b.cloudfront.net/lesson_images/a76a8906.jpg

You are not confidently draw the ellipses.

Boxes

Plotted perspective look good an so does the rough perspective exercise.

Revisit the rotated boxes when doing the exercise, the video too. To see how you approach drawing the boxes

I will ask for revision, A page of ellipses, freely drawn on a page. Random sizes all touching but not overlapping. Ghost them and draw them with speed, Do not draw them slowly. Ghost them where you want to place them and then execute them with speed.

so 1 page revision.

Thank you for your time in reviewing this. Your words were very insightful to what I was doing on those homework assignments. Expect a reply, with revision, by Wednesday or Thursday late afternoon PST.

Edit: P.S. For the page of ellipses, are they to be drawn as a new table of ellipses?

Sorry for the late reply, got flooded with schoolwork, I mean the ellipses on a blank page not in a table. Just a page filled with ellipses touching, drawn randomly. Like a pool table with balls but all different sizes.

When it comes to technical drawing, there's no one better than Scott Robertson. I regularly use this book as a reference when eyeballing my perspective just won't cut it anymore. Need to figure out exactly how to rotate an object in 3D space? How to project a shape in perspective? Look no further.
