Hello, Essiew! Here's some feedback:

Lines

  • Superimposed lines look good. Lines are fairly confident and start on the dot.

  • Ghosted lines mostly end near the dot but there is a slight curve / wobble to some of them. Remember to prioritize drawing confident lines as accuracy will come with practice.

  • Ah, the Ghosted Planes exercise is actually seperate from the Ellipses in Planes exercise, so you need to upload two pages here.

Ellipses

  • Ellipses in your Tables and Planes exercises are fairly confident.

  • Funnels look confident as well and the ellipses are nearly aligned with the minor axis lines.

Boxes

  • Plotted perspective looks completed, no other comments.

  • Most of your horizontal and vertical lines in your Rough Perspective are parallel to the horizon line / page edge, so good job! There are one or two lines that are a bit off but there will be more chance to practice in the 250 Box Challenge.

  • Good attempt at the Rotated Boxes exercise. There is a clear use of space and lines from neighbouring boxes to figure out where the next box should be. There is room to rotate the boxes on the edges more, however, as the whole thing should resemble more of a sphere.

  • Organic Boxes look good too as you are able to use scale to convey 3D space.

Next Steps:

Upload the two pages for the Ghosted Planes and you should be good to move onto the 250 Box Challenge!

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

Thanks! I see it there. I've marked the lesson as complete ... hopefully your badge will go through! Sorry for the late reply - I was without internet access for a couple of days.

Next Steps:

Move on to the 250 Box Challenge next!

How to Draw by Scott Robertson

How to Draw by Scott Robertson

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.

Remember that when you agree with something another user has written, you are putting your own reputation behind it.

Consider the following:

  • If it's homework feedback, does it address each section of the lesson/challenge, or only briefly touch upon one or two exercises?
  • Does it provide clearly defined next steps for the student to follow?
  • Have you read through it thoroughly, or are you simply agreeing so the student earns a superficial badge?
  • Replies you agree with will be visible in your sketchbook

Agreeing blindly just to be nice is a good way to get your permissions associated with this function revoked, so make sure that you genuinely feel that the response is beneficial to the student.
