Hello, this is my second attempt at Lesson 1. I hope to start the 250 Box Challenge
Previous attempt 2017: https://imgur.com/gallery/h0K7j
Feel free to look at it and point out any consistent mistakes I've made.
Superimposed Lines
Pg 1 very frayed, pg 2 frays getting much better
Ghosted Lines
Very straight and accurate
Ghosted Planes
Very accurate
Tables of Ellipses
Very few sloppy ellipses
Ellipses in Planes
Some ellipses not superimposed well, but goal of exercise well met.
Funnels
More than a few funnels not symmetrical on minor axis. Would like to see more variety in degree.
Plotted Perspective
All look good to me.
Rough Perspective
Pg 1 very sloppy. Vertical lines all leaning.
Pg 2 better but still needs work on verticals.
Rotated Boxes
Tough exercise. Try distorting the corners more sharply to get that spherical look.
Organic Perspective
Some rough lines, some duplicated lines. Some curved lines. A lot of distorted boxes.Don’t forget the basics of ghosting.
Next Steps:
i would try the Rotated Boxes and the Organic Perspective exercises again. It seems like you struggled with those.
Then move on to 250 Boxes Challenge.
Thank you for your advice. I think moving onto the 250 Box Challenge will definitely help me with these exercises in the future.

wow. HUGE improvement on both exercises. Great job.
Here we're getting into the subjective - Gerald Brom is one of my favourite artists (and a pretty fantastic novelist!). That said, if I recommended art books just for the beautiful images contained therein, my list of recommendations would be miles long.
The reason this book is close to my heart is because of its introduction, where Brom goes explains in detail just how he went from being an army brat to one of the most highly respected dark fantasy artists in the world today. I believe that one's work is flavoured by their life's experiences, and discovering the roots from which other artists hail can help give one perspective on their own beginnings, and perhaps their eventual destination as well.
