I see that some of your superimposed lines are fraying at both ends and ot one. You must put the pen exactly on the start point, otherwise this lesson will be far less effective. Other than that the lines are typically frayed for a beginner. Move confidantly and with speed, you'll get better.
Your ghosted lines are wobbly and inaccurate. Again, move quickly and confidantly. Ghost your lines more to increase your confidence and speed. If you feel like you're going to overshoot lift the pen off the page.
Again with the planes, your main problem is the inaccuracy of your lines. Keep drawing and performing the proper techniques and you'll get better.
The ellipses in planes look better than the planes themselves. You seem to grasp the idea well. Keep in mind how the angle of the plane will affect the ellipse and you'll do well.
I think your tables of ellipses look good. Try not to make them asymetrical and wobbly like some of them are.
Your funnels are rough and lack in variation. Remember to keep making different designs to better learn.
Plotted perspective looks fine.
For rough perspective, ghost your lines more and don't draw directly above the VP. If you do that, your boxes will end up super distorted.
Your rotated boxes need to be rotated more, at least the ones on the far edges. Pay attention to how the perspctive should shift and adjust the boxes accordingly.
Your first organic perspective is far too small but you learned the proper size by the second. Imagine the sides of the boxes and planes. That should help your draw them. The 250 box challenge will give you more instruction on that part and better techniques.
Your main issues is the straightness of your lines. Keep working on that and you'll improve greatly.
Next Steps:
Redo funnels, 1 pg of organic perspective, and 2 pg of ghosted planes. Afterwards, move onto 250 box challenge.
When you are redoing your organic perspective make sure you are making the lines converge towards VPs in a consistent way. That means that they will always converge away from the central corner even if only slightly a number of your boxes are distorted because one or more set of parellel lines doesn't do this on one or more the sides... if you want to cheat slightly and get a better sense of how to draw these boxes accurately Uncomfortable has more information on that in the 250 box challenge video.
Thank you. I will look into this first, prior to making the revisions. It did trouble me.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write your detailed critique. I've made a note of each of the faults you've mentioned and will keep them in mind moving forward, as well as the suggestions you've made on how to correct them. Sometimes it seems as though even though I ghost a line several times the end result turns out a bit random (I miss the end point or it doesn't turn out as straight as intended). I'll work on adjusting both the speed and confidence, as you've suggested.
The organic perspective really was the one exercise where I've had to "guess" the most, which didn't feel very constructive and felt more like me taking a shortcut. I'll redo that one, as well as all the other ones you've mentioned.
Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.
Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
