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.

Thank you for the excellent feedback! I've uploaded the two missing pages to the imgur album.

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!

Ellipse Master Template

Ellipse Master Template

This recommendation is really just for those of you who've reached lesson 6 and onwards.

I haven't found the actual brand you buy to matter much, so you may want to shop around. This one is a "master" template, which will give you a broad range of ellipse degrees and sizes (this one ranges between 0.25 inches and 1.5 inches), and is a good place to start. You may end up finding that this range limits the kinds of ellipses you draw, forcing you to work within those bounds, but it may still be worth it as full sets of ellipse guides can run you quite a bit more, simply due to the sizes and degrees that need to be covered.

No matter which brand of ellipse guide you decide to pick up, make sure they have little markings for the minor axes.
