Hi DROPTHUND3R
Honestly, this is a great submission. I really don't have any comments for most of them. The only comment I have is that your rough perspective could stand to be redone. The lines where you trace back to the VP should not pierce the line. If you give me one more page of Rough Perspective, you have my clearance to start the 250 boxes.
Next Steps:
1 page of Rough Perspective.

Thank you for your critique! May I ask how can I give you my revision once I finish it? Should I upload it to tumblr then reply here with the link?

It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something we've used ourselves, or know to be of impeccable quality. If you're interested, here is a full list.
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.
Remember that when you agree with something another user has written, you are putting your own reputation behind it.
Consider the following:
- If it's homework feedback, does it address each section of the lesson/challenge, or only briefly touch upon one or two exercises?
- Does it provide clearly defined next steps for the student to follow?
- Have you read through it thoroughly, or are you simply agreeing so the student earns a superficial badge?
- Replies you agree with will be visible in your sketchbook
Agreeing blindly just to be nice is a good way to get your permissions associated with this function revoked, so make sure that you genuinely feel that the response is beneficial to the student.
