Your superimposed lines need tightening up, but like most people that'll come as your draw more. Your ghosted lines wobble far more then they overshoot, wobbling is a lot worse than overshooting. Spend more time ghosting and execute your lines more quickly. If you think your gonna overshoot just take your drawing tool off the page early. Your ghosted planes need line accuracy most of all, the construction lines are often inaccruate. Spend more time ghosting your lines until you have confidence. You might want to do one more page of ellipse tables, since you have no small minor axis moving along curved lines. Other than that they seem decent. Ellipses in planes look decent, they mostly need their lines tightened up. You'll need to redo your funnels, there's not enough variation in the minor axis. Once you redo it, draw some wider ellipses or even full circles. I can't see any issues with your plotted perspective, though my eyes are probably just not good enough. You did well on your rough perspective, no issues here. Your rotated boxes are a lot better then mine, i can't say anything. Your organic perspective suffers from poor line quality. As for fixing your perspective, a good trick is to imagine the VP point about 4 inches away.
Next Steps:
Redo the funnels with more variation
Thanks dude, I appreciate the feedback. The stuff about my lines is especially helpful because sometimes it feels like my brain is hardwired to want to draw from my wrist AND I have a tendency to rush and under-ghost my lines. I'm working through the 250 box challenge right now, so I'll be sure to focus and take my time with ghosting and decisive strokes. I kind of did half-ass the funnels too, so I'm pretty glad you noticed my mistakes there lol.
Thanks again!
A lot of folks have heard about Scott Robertson's "How to Draw" - it's basically a classic at this point, and deservedly so. It's also a book that a lot of people struggle with, for the simple reason that they expect it to be a manual or a lesson plan explaining, well... how to draw. It's a reasonable assumption, but I've found that book to be more of a reference book - like an encyclopedia for perspective problems, more useful to people who already have a good basis in perspective.
Sketching: The Basics is a far better choice for beginners. It's more digestible, and while it introduces a lot of similar concepts, it does so in a manner more suited to those earlier in their studies.
