Hi hi! I’ll be looking through this~

Your superimposed lines look good. They’re smooth, properly lined up at the start, and, mostly, of a consistent trajectory. Your ghosted lines/planes look good, and certainly improve by the end of this section, though there’s still the occasional hesitation in them. Remember that the purpose of ghosting is to get your muscles familiar with the motion you’ll be requesting they perform. If you commit to a line before this happens, that is to say, before you’re ready, it’ll be reflected in it, so try not to. Also, if you’re not already, be sure to plot some start/end points for the non-diagonal center lines of your planes.

The table of ellipses exercise looks decent, though it could be better. Mainly, the issue is that your ellipses start off a little wobbly, only to stabilize in their second rotation (or perhaps they start off confident, but you lose that confidence in that second rotation, as you’re trying to match the first?) Whichever it is, recall that our goal here isn’t for our ellipses to be accurate, whether that be how well their rotations match up, or how well they fit into their respective frames, but rather for them to be smooth, and rounded. A confident mark, however inaccurate, is, for our purposes, correct. A wobbly one, however accurate, is not. Specifically, I’ll request that you ghost until ready, then commit confidently, maintaining that level of confidence throughout all rotations. Speaking of, be sure to rotate around your ellipses 2 full times, not just 1 and change, and at the end of said rotations, see if you can lift, not flick, your pen off the page. Though I still notice some stiffness in one of the rotations, the ellipses in planes exercise looks better- your ellipses are quite rounded, and do a good job of fitting within their respective frames. Finally, the funnels exercise looks good. Your ellipses are snug, and properly cut in half by the minor axis- nicely done.

Starting off the box section, the plotted perspective exercise looks nice and clean- well done. The rough perspective exercise looks quite good, too. I usually expect to see a dip in line quality here, as students have a habit of becoming so concerned with the big picture, that they forget that what they’re doing here is no different from what they were doing in the ghosted lines exercise: drawing a line from point A to point B, but I’m pleased to see that that’s not the case here. Your linework is confident, and you’ve been careful to keep 2 sets of lines at infinity. The 3rd set, the one that’s mean to converge looks quite good, too, though it could be better. To get it better, simply spend longer planning it. Don’t feel obligated to stick to your first, second, or even third guess. Check and re-check each line, to make sure that it’s the best it can be, by ghosting it all the way to the horizon, and seeing where it intersects it. In regards to line quality, by the way, I’ll remind you that automatic reinforcing, that is to say, correcting an incorrect line, is not something we encourage. Also, I’ll sometimes notice that you’ll leave a box unfinished- please don’t do that. Solid attempt at the rotated boxes exercise. It’s big, you’ve seen it through to the end, and even gone through the trouble of applying some lineweight/hatching. The boxes rotate nicely, though not all of them (the diagonal ones, in particular), are as snug as we’d like them to be. This is fully expected, however, so no worries. Next time, see if you can spend a little loner thinking about each line, its purpose as an individual, and in a set. Finally, the organic perspective exercise looks good. The boxes properly follow the flow line, increasing in size as they do, and overlapping quite a bit, too. I do have an issue with their foreshortening, and the lineweight (which I’m guessing has been applied to convey a sense of depth, rather than to reinforce certain, incorrect lines) is a little too overt, but that’s alright- this is a good start.

Solid work on this lesson. Take note of the points I’ve raised, and feel free to move on to the 250 box challenge. Good luck!
