So, I’m not super great at putting my thoughts together, so I’m sorry if this comes off a bit blunt, but hopefully its helpful!
Superimposed lines: These look good, but don’t be afraid to try out lines that span the whole page
Ghosted lines: overall pretty good, overshooting or undershooting is normal at this point, so don’t worry about that too much. But, do make sure you’re drawing from the shoulder, as a few of your lines have an arc to them
Ghosted planes and ellipses: Look good, I can see you got more confident as you went along with the ellipses! Just same again about drawing from the shoulder
Ellipse tables: Drawing through your ellipses is good, but you only need to draw through 2 or 3 times, otherwise, good job
Funnels, plotted perspective: Both look good!
Rough perspective: Looks good, but be more confident with your lines, confidence over accuracy
Rotated boxes and organic perspective: looks good, you’ll get a lot more practice with drawing boxes in the 250 box challenge
Next Steps:
-
Use these exercises as 10-15 minute warmups when you start a drawing session
-
Move on to the 250 box challenge if you haven't already!
The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
Faber Castell PITT Artist Pens
Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.
Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
