Hulla Jansiva, your assignments are awesome! I hope some notes below would be helpful to you:

  • "Superimposed Lines" exercise: Your work is nicely drawn, you have confident strokes and the first page's lines have great accuracy! However, your mistake here is fraying on both ends, especially in waves and curly lines. You should try to draw those lines again, but fraying only on one end.

  • "Ghosted Lines" exercise: Your accuracy is, holy moly, spot on!! Your strokes are smooth and confident, 100000/10 from me here!

-"Ghosting Planes" and "Eclipses in Planes" exercises: Again, like what I've said before, the accuracy and the strokes are 'chef kiss', la perfection. The eclipses are beautiful too.

-"Tables of Eclipses" exercise: I have nothing to say here, it's so beautiful. However, there's only one thing I want to suggest, you shouldn't draw seven rows of eclipses that are identical to each other like in the first page of this exercise, you should create more diversities, for example: a row of eclipses tilted to the left, a row of eclipses tilted to the right, then a row of eclipses standing up, etc.

-"Funnels"", "Plotted Perspective" and "Rough Perspective" exercises: Still 100000/10 from me!

-"Organic Boxes" exercise: Mwoah, outstanding! But I think you should draw the trajectory of the boxes more clearly for easier evaluation. Some of the boxes at the back of some panels have the same size, so it feels like they are floating next to each other.

Next Steps:

Your work is outstanding, with some mistakes then and there, of course. I think you just need to improve the "superimposed lines" exercise a little bit more. You should move on to the 250 Boxes Challenge!

Superimposed Lines

Your straight lines are well done, though there's fraying on both ends. Be sure to start at the same point each time.

Curved lines are considerably more difficult, and it looks like you tried to draw them as fast as possible. Try ghosting through the motion a couple of times, then taking about two seconds to draw it.

Ghosted Lines/Planes

Besides overshooting them a little, your lines are as straight as an arrow, well done.

Tables of Ellipses

Your ellipses are consistent and they hardly overlap with the boundaries or each other. Great work!

Ellipses in Planes

Also well done, though I can tell you struggled with the ones to the top left. Before each exercise, I do a test run to get a feel for it, so you can try the same.

Funnels

Same as before, they hardly overlap and fairly clean.

Plotted Perspective

All the boxes line up with the VPs, they're drawn through, and the linework is clean. No problems here.

Rough Perspective

Aside from a few outliers, the convergences are all good and precise.

Rotated Boxes

Another great job, I can tell you got the idea of rotation down.

Organic Perspective

It's decent, you definitely got the scaling down. The boxes don't really look like they're in perspective, but that's what the 250 box challenge is for :P

Next Steps:

You're definitely ready for the 250 Box Challenge. Just practive your curves more and you're golden.

How to Draw by Scott Robertson

When it comes to technical drawing, there's no one better than Scott Robertson. I regularly use this book as a reference when eyeballing my perspective just won't cut it anymore. Need to figure out exactly how to rotate an object in 3D space? How to project a shape in perspective? Look no further.
