Lesson 1: Lines, Ellipses and Boxes

take a look please, thanks!
Congrats on completing lesson 1. Let's start with the super imposed lines exercise. This was a solid attempt. The lines managed to maintain a certain trajectory and you attempted some curly ones as well which is a bonus. Good work on the ghosted lines exercise. I like that you kept the points small so that the line can swallow them up whch is essential the point.
As for the ghosted planes with ellipses, first off the ghosted planes are good no sign of over shooting which is good and the ellipses are solid I can see an actually attempt for the ellipses to cover the entire plane. Good work the funnels exercise. However try use a ruler for the vertical and horizontal lines, some of the lines look like you did them free-hand. Remember the goal of the exercise is to make sure that the line cuts through the middle of each ellipses to make equal halves. That's where the ruler comes in
Good work on the plotted perspective. I like the consistency of the shading of one face of each box. As for the rough perspective exercise, I can tell that a number of lines lack confidence. Remember all your doing is drawing a line from point A to point B so if you can have confident lines in the ghosted lines exercise you can have confident lines here too. Great attempt on the rotated boxes exercise the boxes are maintaining consistent, narrow spaces and the boxes are actually rotating.
Solid attempt on the organic perspective. However, be careful with the lineweight. The bold lineweight isn't necessary for the big boxes as long as you can tell which boxes are further away and which boxes are closer to the viewer you have acheived the goal of the exercise.
Also there is an improvement in line confidence in the rotated boxes and organic exercises as compared to the rough perspective exercise.
Next Steps:
You can move on to the 250 boxes challenge. Good luck!
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.
