and a video of me ghosting one line.
I didn´t think of lineweight until the second frame of the organic perspective. Since my lines doesn´t superimpose well yet, I only did it every second box (starting with the third)
Thanks for the reply and also for the video, really helpful for the critique.
Looking at both of your exercises, your linework has improved and has become more confident, there's less wobble overall. However, I still notice two things that you work on, but you'll do that during the box challenge:
Your lines have a bit of an arch at the very beginning and then straighten themselves out. I believe this is either due to you compensating at the very beginning or the way you draw them. This is minor though.
A bit of arching as well in some lines, especially for the organic perspective. Minor as well, you'll get a lot more practice doing the rest of the course. To prevent arching, try to consciously arch in the other direction while ghosting, you will probably overadjust at first which will make you arch in the other direction but you'll eventually adjust it over time.
Finally, looking at the video of you ghosting, your posture is great and elbow movements are quite minimal (though needed when drawing on an inclined surface). I tend to ghost and mark a little bit faster, which could take care of the small issues your lines have, but that's highly personal, so you can experiment. One last piece of advice for the box challenge, since it tends to exagerate quirks in linework because you focus more on the box, is to really take the time to think each line as a separate ghosting exercise. For example, I plot all the points for my faces and then ghost them. Other than that, you're ready for the 250 box challenge, good luck :)

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.
