1. Lines
Superimposed Lines: Instances of fraying on both ends, watch your placement. There is wobble and arcing in your lines. Wobble is fixed through confidence, arcing is fixed with counter-arcing or it can be fixed by plotting the line in your head.
Ghosted Lines: Same issues as mentioned above. Remember to not redo your lines.
Ghosted Planes: Same issues as mentioned above.
2. Ellipses
Table of Ellipses: Under/overshooting your boundaries, and overlapping to boot. Need to work on some more confidence here to get rid of the wobble.
Ellipses in Planes: Same issues as listed above.
Funnels: Misplacement of some ellipses along the minor axis, same issues as mentioned above. These ellipses do look more confident.
3. Boxes
Plotted Perspective: This exercise was completed correctly.
Rough Perspective: Some mishaps not following the vertical/horizontal rule on your lines, watch your wobble.
Rotated Boxes: Good rotation, good corner placement, but the backsides are slightly skewed: see the back of the center box for an example.
Organic Perspective: Same issues as mentioned above, the 250 box challenge will help with your perspective issues.
Next Steps:
Make sure to keep doing warm-ups and to draw every day, even if you can only fit 2 mins in.
Join the others with the 250 boxes.

Cottonwood Arts Sketchbooks
These are my favourite sketchbooks, hands down. Move aside Moleskine, you overpriced gimmick. These sketchbooks are made by entertainment industry professionals down in Los Angeles, with concept artists in mind. They have a wide variety of sketchbooks, such as toned sketchbooks that let you work both towards light and towards dark values, as well as books where every second sheet is a semitransparent vellum.
