I see a few problems here:

  • superimposed lines should all follow the guide line and not have fraying on both ends

  • not sure why there's a superimposed triangle on the ghosted lines page

  • missing a page of the ghosted planes/ellipses in planes exercise

  • ellipses should be drawn through 2-3 times. it looks like you started doing that then stopped at some point, go back to doing it

  • missing a page of the rough perspective exercise

  • you haven't plotted the lines back to the vanishing point on rough perspective/all of the plotted perspective

  • a lot of the boxes in the organic perspective have sketchy lines, they should be be drawn with single confident lines

  • organic perspective boxes don't scale very much and could use more overlapping

  • all of the boxes exercises (besides rotated boxes) should have multiple frames of the exercise on the page

Your rotated boxes exercise looks really good though! Just a few perspective issues that are to be expected here

Next Steps:

I think you've misunderstood some of the lessons and/or done them quickly or without focus. I think it was a good first attempt but I would like to see you redo all of lesson 1. Watch the videos and read the pages to be sure you're doing them correctly, you're starting to build your foundation of good drawing habits so it's important these are done right even if they're not the most fun to do.

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

How to Draw by Scott Robertson

When it comes to technical drawing, there's no one better than Scott Robertson. I regularly use this book as a reference when eyeballing my perspective just won't cut it anymore. Need to figure out exactly how to rotate an object in 3D space? How to project a shape in perspective? Look no further.
