Hi! I’ll be looking through this~

Starting off, your superimposed lines look good! They’re confident, and of a consistent trajectory, but they’ll sometimes fray a little. See if you can take another half a second to line up your pen to the correct starting point, next time. The ghosted lines/planes look good, too, though I notice a tiny bit of wobble at the end of them. Try to maintain a consistent speed throughout, rather than decrease it at the end, in an effort to hit the end point. Remember, confidence > accuracy. As per the 3 levels in this section, missing the mark, falling short of it, or overshooting it are all perfectly acceptable, for now.

The ellipse section is a little rough. The main issue is that your ellipses are wobbly. Similar to our lines, our ellipses need to be confident, more so that accurate. The reason for this is that a confident mark, however inaccurate, can still be used as the foundation of a solid construction, whereas a wobbly one, however accurate, cannot. Remember to ghost until you’re comfortable, then commit. If you’re not ready, don’t. If you are, do so confidently. Provided you’re following the instructions, the results don’t matter. Let’s talk specifics. In the table of ellipses exercise your ellipses are snug, and of a consistent degree/angle in a frame. They do a good job of touching all available sides of the frame, too. What this means is that, save for the confidence issue, everything is looking good, so, as soon as that’s fixed, you’ll be good to go. Moving on, the ellipses in planes exercise have a similar issue. This one makes an appearance in the common mistakes section, too. This goes for the funnels, too, though, other than that, they’re snug, increase in degree as they move further from the center, and are properly cut into two equal, symmetrical halves by the minor axis. In regards to that last point, though, be sure to extend the minor axis all the way. Conversely, if there’s no more minor axis, stop there, instead of adding another ellipse.

Starting off the box section, the rough perspective exercise looks good! The lines that should be parallel/perpendicular to the horizon are, and the ones that should converge do so quite successfully. There’s 2 things I’d like to mention. The first is that automatic reinforcing, that is, going over a line a second time, for any reason, is discouraged. (This is a common issue in this section.) The second is that, because of the rules of perspective, the back faces of these boxes are similar in shape to their front faces, except smaller. Knowing this helps us tell whether our box is correct or not at a glance (like, for example, a box whose front face is a square, but its back face a rectangle), so it’s an important thing to take note of. Solid attempt at the rotated boxes exercise. It occasionally has some issues rotating (the vertical axis, in particular, doesn’t), and parts of the lower left quadrant haven’t been drawn through, but this is minor. What’s important is to attempt it, and to see it through to the end- which you have! Finally, save for the ever-present automatic reinforcing issue, the organic perspective exercise looks great! Your boxes flow nicely, as a result of their consistent, shallow foreshortening, and subtle increase in size, and, as far as their construction goes, they’re fairly solid, too. To take them even further, of course, there’s the box challenge. I’ll let you move on to it...
