It is indeed never too late~
Hey, I’ll be looking over your work.
Starting off, your lines look quite good. There’s a tiny bit of fraying present in your superimposed lines, so I’d recommend taking an extra half a second longer to line up your pen. In the ghosted planes exercise, I’d recommend plotting start/end points for the non-diagonal center lines, by the way. Remember that every line needs start/end points.
Moving on, the ellipse section is quite nicely done. Be careful that you’re not going around them too many times, though. 2-3 times is the recommendation- ideally 2.
The box section is where you start running into a few issues. In the plotted perspective exercise, your VPs are a little too close to each other, so you’ve encountered some distortion. Read more about that here: https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/7/distortion There’s also an instance where the set of lines that should run perpendicular to the horizon, doesn’t. I’d normally ignore this, thinking of it as an experiment, but it makes an appearance in your rough perspective exercise, too. In both of these exercises, the horizon line of those ‘tilted’ boxes is different from the one you’ve plotted out, making them incorrect. In the rough perspective exercise, in particular, to adhere to the horizon line, one set of lines needs to be fully horizontal, and another fully vertical. By the way, the requirement is 2 pages of this exercise, but you’ve only submitted one. The remaining 2 exercises are fairly well done, but I do notice a few things. In both of them, I notice a habit to correct an incorrect line. This is called automatic reinforcing, and it’s discouraged. Also, in the organic perspective exercise, it seems like you’re extending your lines arbitrarily, rather than planning them, and extending them as far as the points you’ve placed. This, too, is incorrect.
Overall, this is a solid submission, but I would like to see some extra pages before I allow you to move on to the box challenge.
Next Steps:
I’d like to see one more page (the missing page, I suppose) of the rough perspective exercise, where 2 sets of lines run parallel/perpendicular to the horizon, and one set heads to the VP, and one more page of the organic perspective exercise, where you don’t overshoot your lines.
