Hi! I am Feldspar and I will be critiquing you work today. I hope you've been keeping up with your 50% rule and warmups while waiting! Lets begin!
Lines
-
Superimposed Lines: I don't see fraying on both sides nor wobbling. Good job!
-
Ghosted Lines: I don't see you ghosted lines page in your album. I suggest you just forgot to post it and i want you to send it as a revision.
-
Ghosted Planes: Solid planes! Don't forget confidence beats accurate!
Ellipses
-
Tables of Ellipses: Ellipses need to have two borders that encase them, to check their accuracy, but some of ellipses "float" on the page without any targets. Also try to keep ellipses in the similar row in similar orientation as much as possible. I recommend to re-consume the material again and follow the instructions before doing it through warmups. You may check out ScyllaStew's video
-
Ellipses in Planes: Some of the ellipses are wobbling and egg-shaped but i see you trying to put them snugly agains all borders and they are confident so this is the matter of some warmups. Don't forget confidence beats accurate!
-
Funnels: Solid funnels all i can say.
Boxes
-
Plotted Perspective: Nothing to add here.
-
Rough Perspective: I also noticed your line confidence took a big hit, remember, confidence beats accuracy! Confident but inaccurate line > Accurate but wobbly line.
-
Rotated Boxes: You have a eye for rotations! Solid job. Although I suggest you choose to start from small box in the middle and it made difficult to navigate through boxes especially within corners. So you are missing the four corner boxes and some edges. I want you to draw, finish them and send it to me (Not a re-do, just finish the remaining boxes) or start from scratch and make one new corner but with the bigger boxes.
-
Organic Perspective: I notice most of boxes extended the wrong way. Boxes are generally the same size. This may constitute a re-do, but I'm not gonna reassign this again, as I believe with 250 Boxes Challenge instructions, you will understand and get better with organic boxes too. I HIGHLY recommend reconsuming the material/ScyllaStew's videos before attempting Organic Boxes for warmup.
Next Steps:
I request:
-
1 page of Ghosted Lines you forgot to post
-
Add the missing boxes and edges on your existing Rotated Boxes but i recommend to start from scratch and make one corner of new Rotated Boxes(It means only one quadrant like shown in Uncomfortable video)
I don't expect perfect, or not even a good work, just one that follows the instructions. You will post the first page you do, no practice pages, no grinding. I'll be waiting here for your reply so you can start your box challenge :)

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.
