Hi, I'll be handling your work, I hope this critique is of use to you.
for your lines
Superimposed lines well executed, but there's some wobbling. Remember that a confident line will always have priority over a wobbly line.
Ghosted lines are good. I recommend page-wide lines for this exercise, once they go into your warm-ups
Planes look great, everything is plotted and ghosted.
for your ellipses
Tables of ellipses overall are good, but there's a few that are deformed, remember to prioritize confidence and smoothness over accuracy. Your second page looks more confident overall.
Planes in ellipses look pretty good!
Funnels look good, I feel like you couldve filled the page a tad bit more, but otherwise it's all good.
onto boxes
Plotted perspective shows a good understanding of two-point perspective.
Rough perspective looks good, you understand the point of the exercise.
on your rotated boxes page there are a fair bit of boxes that are not rotating, but otherwise I think you did well.
On your organic perspective page, you did pretty well, and you understand the point of the exercise. There are a few diverging lines, and I feel like you could've pushed it a tad bit with the amount of boxes on the page.
For the last 2 exercises it's normal for it to be as hard as it is at this stage, and the 250 boxes challenge comes after this lesson either way.
Overall I think you did pretty well. I did not see any repeating lines and I hope that will transfer into later lessons and exercises.
also I like the color of the pen you're using
Next Steps:
250 boxes challenge!
Cottonwood Arts Sketchbooks
These are my favourite sketchbooks, hands down. Move aside Moleskine, you overpriced gimmick. These sketchbooks are made by entertainment industry professionals down in Los Angeles, with concept artists in mind. They have a wide variety of sketchbooks, such as toned sketchbooks that let you work both towards light and towards dark values, as well as books where every second sheet is a semitransparent vellum.
