Your notes to yourself are so wholesome and a great idea. It shows you're really putting thought and effort into these exercises which is awesome. Your Superimposed Lines are like butter. Great job keeping the fraying to a minimum and having virtually no fray at the starting point. That shows you are controlling where you are placing your pen and not rushing.
Your Ghosted Lines are very smooth and show no signs of hesitation. You also have extraordinary accuracy in hitting both points. Obviously, the longer lines are not as accurate (sometimes they go longer than the point or are a little off) but the point of the exercise is to get a confident line which you did, and I'm sure you will get more accurate with the longer lines with more practice.
The Ghosted Planes look great as well. You can tell you did not rush with them as your lines are steady and hit the points with precision. There are a couple of wonky lines on one of the pages haha I made the same mistake of just drawng a line from the halfway point without taking into consideration the perspective of the quadrilateral. It looks like you got the hang of it with all of the other boxes though so nice job.
You really did a great job! I know I did not have much criticism but hopefully my feedback will serve as positive affirmations of your abilities!! lol keep up the great work:)
Thank you so much for this helpful, constructive AND nice comment :) I appreciate the time you spent on reviewing my work and I'll make sure to be here once you submit yours ;)
I have to admit that the longer lines are indeed dreadful, but it's really with the longer lines I think that you can understand the scope of using your shoulder to draw given that it's an articulator with a larger amplitude than the wrist and elbow. Hence, it is helpful for me to force myself into drawing long lines.
As for the wonky lines..., everytime I undershoot my line I just try to fix it and I end up doing...well.. this.. haha
Many thanks for your time again!

Nice work, I like your little notes there and circling the mistakes, I think I will try that too. Also if I compare the first lines and the last, there is already an improvement, so keep on working and you will get even better :D.
With the planes I did the same mistakes, like I thought the internal lines are always in the middle, but you learned from that as well. So good job.
I think overrall its promising, go on to the next excercise.
Thanks a lot Feela for this constructive comment that happens to be very nice as well!
I really appreciate that you took the time to review this exercise. Many thanks :)
I'll make sure that I'll follow your work closely as well!

This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.
When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.
Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
