Hi Wackoloco,

2 filled pages of Superimposed lines - Good job. I can tell you took the time to align your pen tip to the starting point! Meaningful practice overtime will get you better at this exercise.

1 filled page of Ghosted lines - Many of your ghosted lines are good, but many miss the starting point. Make sure you take your time to align your pen tip when ghosting and when you finally draw your line. I am going to chock up the clear mistakes to you being new to this! That is nothing to be ashamed of. I still make mistakes like that and I have been doing this for over a year. Confidence comes with time!

2 filled pages of Ghosted planes - I am assuming you did your ellipses in planes exercise after you did the ghosted planes exercise. Your planes are looking good to me. Some of your lines are wobbly. Make sure you are using your shoulder and drawing fast.

2 filled pages of Tables of ellipses - Nice job on your tables of ellipses. More practice and you will be making perfect ellipses in no time. I can see you went through your ellipses a couple of times! ????

2 filled pages of Ellipses in planes - All I can say is good job. Make sure you try to hit all four interior sides. I can see that you were attempting to do so.

1 filled page of Ellipses in funnels - Beautiful! Marvelous! Your circles are improving. You may not be able to see it, but I can. Don't worry, you have the rest of your life to improve!

1 filled page of Plotted perspective - Looks good to me.

2 filled pages of Rough perspective - Many of your lines here were wobbly. Perhaps drawing smaller than usual caused this issue. Make sure you get used to drawing lines with your shoulder and that you are drawing fast.

1 filled pages of Rotated boxes - The next time you do this exercise, use this as a reference: https://d15v304a6xpq4b.cloudfront.net/lesson_images/9a2db6a0.jpg I can tell you tried your best, but as you will learn in future drawabox lessons, using a reference matters.

2 filled pages of Organic perspective - Some of your lines were not confident here, but many were. I must sound like a broken record, but please use your shoulder.

Overall, a nice job. You are ready for the next challenge! Please practice a page of ghosted planes and a page of rotated boxes. Make sure you use your shoulder. That practice is for yourself.

I just wanted to add that I see a lot of wobbling in the lines for the Rough Perspective Assignment, so I'd recommend more line practice when you do your warm-ups in the future. Try and remind yourself - confident over accuracy. It's more important for your lines to be straight than it is to hit the end point.

Also, once a line has been drawn, don't correct it by drawing over it. The idea is that once you've drawn a line, good or bad, you'll have to work with it.

Otherwise, I agree with Lars.

No problem Wackoloco!

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.
PureRef

PureRef

This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.

When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.

Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
