Hi there!
First time reviewing a submission, but I will do my best on your work, I promise! =)
Overall, that looks nice, and judging from the dates you apposed on each page, it seems that you did take your time to tackle each exercise individually. Which is good, as all rushing would do is kill your motivation.
I also see that you are using different pen colours. The black one is definitely a fineliner, which is the way to go for the next lessons.
Superimposed lines: looks nice. You did take time to place your pen at the right spot before you started your drawing. There are some instances of you struggling as your brain tries to seize control of the motion. However, you are getting the hang of it and your lines seem confident enough in the end.
Ghosted lines: there are some instances of you missing your target point by a few millimeters, but that is no big deal as you also seem to improve with time. However the weight of the line shows that you are slowing down as you approach the end. You can get a more even line by lifting your pen when you reach the target.
Ghosted planes: I like how you tried to vary the shapes and sizes of your planes. The lines themselves look quite right, although some of them still miss the point - that's a work in progress after all. The good thing is that you remembered to plot every point before drawing the lines between them.
Table of ellipses: You seem to be using the right techniques and the placement of the ellipses is right. You are running through them the correct number of times, which is good. However many are not very round. As a remedy, I would recommend that you make sure to use your shoulder at all times and ghost the line a couple of times. However there is some improvement throughout your work - those circles in the middle column of the second page look fantastic!
Ellipses in planes: Little to say here, your ellipses seem to improve and to touch all edges nicely.
Funnel of ellipses: As the roundness of your ellipses improves, you seem to have a slight alignment issue. May I suggest you draw the minor axes of all of your ellipses to figure it out - they should all be aligned. On the other hand you put in a nice effort ensuring that the ellipses touch both the funnel and their neighbours.
Plotted perspective is nice, albeit a bit messy - you needn't draw the construction lines all the way to the VPs. Your work shows a solid understanding of the concepts.
Rough perspective looks nice and you are already making good progress in improving your convergences. Just be sure not to not cross out lines - they belong here, even if they are mistakes.
Your rotated boxes are a bit small but you seem to understand what this is about. The boxes on the edges could be more rotated and have their VPs farther to the inside of the picture, but, overall, I would say that you made a nice job.
Organic perspective: I can tell that you feel insecure about your lines, as you have corrected some of them a couple of times. There are convergence issues which makes me wonder whether you have plotted the VPs at all, or are trying to guess. Anyway you seem, again, to understand what this is about. The 250 box challenge will help you fix those issues.
Next Steps:
Move on to the 250 box challenge
Thank you so, so much for the very detailed and helpful recommendations, Brainducker! Very spot on. It helped me immensely because i didn't get what to do very well especially at the rotated box and the organic perspective one(brain). I'm trying to do it but i don't know if i'm doing a very good job drawing from the shoulder, but i'm doing my best too. I made even a shorter list with what not to do and what to do going forward as to not forget and default in my mistakes or behavior. Big bless!
This is a remarkable little pen. Technically speaking, any brush pen of reasonable quality will do, but I'm especially fond of this one. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.
Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.
