Your exercises look pretty good, but you are missing quite a few of them. You should have two pages of ghosted planes, two pages of rough perspective (each with three panels), a full page (three panels) of plotted perspective, two full pages (three panels) of organic perspective, and you should have filled in your ghosted planes with ellipses. Also, it appears that you used a ruler for the rotated boxes, which should have been done freehand.
Other than those things, your rough perspective could use some work. Definitely go back to that exercise and finish out two pages. Try to be as deliberate as you can with where you place each part of your boxes. If you are having trouble understanding the perspective, you should go back over the lesson again or ask for help. Your organic perspective looks very rushed. Take your time when you finish these exercises, even if you feel like you don't understand it.
Your ghosted planes, ghosted lines, and superimposed lines are good. Your ellipses exercises look good. Try one last ellipse exercise with the ellipses in planes exercise.
Next Steps:
Complete the ghosted planes, ellipses in planes, rough perspective, plotted perspective, and organic perspective exercises. Once you are done doing the full version of these exercises, I can mark your lesson as complete. Please let me know if you have any questions.
The second attempt. Please do so again, looking forward for your critique.
The ghosted planes look very nice, a few lines have some wobble, but it's the minority.
The ellipses on planes have a distinctive stray, but you managed to get them touching all four lines. You'll want to keep exercising ellipses as warmup.
Something on the rough perspective that can help you in the future: if you notice the lines are parallel, then they are not leading to the same view point, they won't converge. This can be helpful once you move to the 250 box challenge.
You forgot to draw through some of the rotated boxes. Notice the ones on the diagonals. Other than that, they all look well rotated.
There's also some traces of pencil on the organic perspective's boxes, guess you went with a pencil line before applying the ink?
I kept looking back and fort at the rotated boxes reference for the bigger picture of it as well. Yes, I went with the pencil draft to feel the flow of the boxes since I took a really long time to get the gist of it.
Thank you for your time! I'll try again slowly.
Rapid Viz is a book after mine own heart, and exists very much in the same spirit of the concepts that inspired Drawabox. It's all about getting your ideas down on the page, doing so quickly and clearly, so as to communicate them to others. These skills are not only critical in design, but also in the myriad of technical and STEM fields that can really benefit from having someone who can facilitate getting one person's idea across to another.
Where Drawabox focuses on developing underlying spatial thinking skills to help facilitate that kind of communication, Rapid Viz's quick and dirty approach can help students loosen up and really move past the irrelevant matters of being "perfect" or "correct", and focus instead on getting your ideas from your brain, onto the page, and into someone else's brain as efficiently as possible.
