Hi, I'm creating another critique to complement and infer on Omar's critique.

Overall difficulties

In all of the exercises, both on lines and ellipses, I notice wobble. This indicates that you are focusing on accuracy instead of the marking confident lines. Having confident lines, however imprecise they are is a necessity for the rest of the course. Therefore you'll need to work some more on them. To do so, ghost them at a slightly fast speed, so that you don't have time to compensate as you draw, and then mark in a single coordinated hand motion. Same for ellipses, ghost them and then you should be able to complete the marking with your eyes closed, so that you prevent yourself from adjusting.

Lines

• Most of your superimposed lines have fraying at the beginning and the end. While fraying at the end is normal, fraying at the beginning indicates that you have not taken the time to properly put your pen at the start point of the line/curve.

• Same advice as for the paragraph above for ghosted lines/planes, focus on confidence over accuracy, it doesn't matter if they over-/undershoot.

• I don't see any start/end points for the middle lines in the ghosted planes, you need to plot them to properly make us of the ghosting method.

Ellipses

• Some ellipses in your table of ellipses exercise aren't drawn through twice or thrice. Other than that and the paragraph about confidence, the exercise is okay.

• Ellipses in planes are significantly distorted for the reasons stated above.

• The funnels do not have enough of an angle, ellipses are distorted even though the minor axes are all aligned correctly. Try to increase the angle of the funnel, to have more variety in the sizes, and add some corner funnels, like the ones you can see in the lesson material.

Boxes

• Plotted perspective exercise is all right. More boxes, especially above the horizon lines would be appreciated. To do so, make the frame larger. Also try to hatch only the same side every time.

• You forgot to extend the lines of your boxes for the rough perspective, therefore I cannot check the convergence.

• Rotated boxes exercise is misunderstood. It is a difficult exercise though, so no worries.

• Organic perspective boxes need more variety. Some of them are not complete or have incoherent construction (diverging lines, 2VP convergence instead of 3VP). Some lines are also drawn twice or thrice, no need to do that in your submissions.

Conclusion

Looking at the greater picture of the submission, I notice a few significant issues that will greatly hinder your progression for the rest of the course, therefore, I'll have to ask you to do a few things to prepare yourself better, in the following order:

*For all the exercises that use frames, you'll need to make the frames larger (almost the length of the page and half the height).

For all of the exercises asked, please reread the lesson material prior to doing the exercise*

1. I'll repeat Omar's advice and ask you to do one page of ellipses in planes. This will allow you to work on your confidence and practice the ghosting method.

2. Optionally, a page of Table of Ellipses, to practice ellipses more specifically.

3. Send your already done rough perspective boxes with the extensions made to check the convergence.

4. Optionally as well, one page of organic perspective, with a focus on 3VP construction, a variety of shapes (elongated boxes, etc) and sizes along the line.

5. Watch the video for the rotated boxes again, and try to assess where you had difficulties. I won't ask you to redo it since it is a very tedious and difficult exercise, and I'm already asking a lot of revisions.

This is asking a lot, but I hope you will understand that I'm doing this to prevent you a lot of frustration and hardship during the 250 box challenge

first, you should add two more pages of ghosted planes. they are required to be separate from ellipses in planes exercise.

second, you left alot of space on your pages of superimposed lines and the boxes exercises. you should use space better.

finally, rotated boxes are completely out of sync. you should revisit the video of the exercise.
