Congratulations on finishing a long and difficult challenge!

I notice that you are doing a good job of leaving it at one confident line, even if it's wrong, rather than go over it. The only time you should be going over lines is around the outside edge, using ghosted lines, to add line weight. Some of your added lines are not matching, and an exercise like superimposed lines will help you gain accuracy in that. I also notice some of your corners are feathering, meaning you are having trouble stopping at the goal points when putting down your lines. Ghosted lines as a warm up exercise can help you gain more accuracy in stopping at the end points.

Overall I think you explored a variety of boxes and understood the purpose of the exercise.

Next Steps:

Move on to lesson 2. Use superimposed lines and ghosted lines as warm up exercises to work on your accuracy. Try leaving feedback on other students' homework.

Thank you very much. Really appreciate the feedback, :)

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.
