Hello, and welcome! Let’s see~

Your superimposed lines look a lot better in (what I’ll assume to be) page 2- they’re smooth, properly lined up at the start, and of a consistent trajectory. Your ghosted lines/planes look confident, but they’re one step away from being wobbly. Keep our priorities in mind: first and foremost, we care about the smoothness of our marks. Then, and only then, do we allow ourselves to be concerned with their accuracy. It also helps to have a clear split between the ghosting stage, and the execution stage, so you don’t find yourself doing multiple things at once. As such, I usually remind students to plot start/end points for the non-diagonal center lines of their planes.

The table of ellipses exercise is, unfortunately, the first step in the wrong direction- that of prioritizing accuracy, over confidence. Your marks here are wobbly, and, particularly, your ellipses aren’t rounded; they seem more concerned with filling as much of the frame as possible, but this is incorrect. You’ll also go around them a few too many times, sometimes- I’ll recommend sticking to 2. In regards to their confidence, I’ll recommend experimenting with a bunch of different speeds- I find that the faster I go, the easier it is to keep my brain quiet. Once you’ve got a bunch of them, ideally going from current speed, to super fast, pick the one that has given you the most accurate, though still confident ellipses. The ellipses in planes exercise is more of the same, though you’ve at least been mindful of their roundness, here. A common mistake I see is students being overly concerned with touching all 4 sides of the plane, to the point where their ellipses become pointy- it’s good that that’s not a thing here. The funnels exercise is a step in the right direction, too, what with the ellipses being snug, and properly cut in half by the minor axis, but the wobbly nature of them is an issue here, as well. It’s important to address it, as a wobbly mark will not convey an illusion of solidity (something we’re after), so I will need to assign you some re-dos, but, once it’s taken care of, it’ll be for good.

The plotted perspective exercise is well done. The rough perspective exercise has a number of issues. First, the boxes here aren’t actually boxes, as their lines don’t always connect. A good example of this is the left-most box at the bottom of page 2- the way you deal with the discrepancy in your planning is… by not dealing with it. Second, the linework is a little lacking. Try not to get too caught up in the big picture. All you’re doing, all you’re really doing, is drawing a line from point A to point B- same as in the ghosted lines exercise. If it can be confident there, it can be confident here, too. Be careful about the automatic reinforcing, too. Don’t correct an incorrect line, if you can help it. Finally, spend a little more time considering the convergences, if you can. Remember that there’s no obligation to stick to your original points. If you find that they’re not quite working, ignore them in favor of others. Also, don’t assume that they’re correct. Once you’ve got a point down, check it again, to confirm that it behaves the way it’s supposed to. The rotated boxes exercise seems to have been a bit of a struggle, certainly, but you’ve mostly seen it through to the end (it’s actually missing 4 boxes, but that’s alright.) Your boxes rotate nicely, though not all of them have been drawn through, so be mindful of that. Mostly, my recommendation is to take things slow. Properly consider the purpose of each line you draw, both by itself, as well as in its set, before committing to it, and it’s bound to be better. There’s quite a bit of overshooting going on in your organic perspective exercise. I’d like to start by confirming that you’re indeed plotting start/end points for these lines, ghosting between them, then executing, rather than extending them arbitrarily. If you’re not, you should be. Outside of that, the exercise looks fine, the boxes increasing in size as they get closer to us, and keeping a consistent, shallow foreshortening, though the lineweight is at times a little overt. A single superimposed line is enough, usually.

Before I have you move on to the box challenge, let’s talk about your ellipses.
