(This is my first time giving feedback, feel free to take this with a grain of salt)
Lines
Superimposed lines are pretty good. You're not fraying on both ends, and you're purposefully letting your muscle memory/arm do its best.
Ghosted Lines got better over time. If you're going back to this exercise, I'd say ghost a bit more than you did the first time.
Ghosted Planes are also pretty good. Though I did notice some arcing/curving lines here and there. Like the lines, keep ghosting. Really make sure your arm got the idea before making
Ellipses
Your Tables of Ellipses got better as you went. Admittedly, ghosting ellipses is really hard/confusing. If anything, make the movement of your arm natural. Let your arm do its best, even if it means to undershoot/overshoot a bit.
Ellipses in Planes look a little rough, but it's your first time. So I'd ghost more if you haven't done so. This might also be due to drawing position. So you might want to work on that.
Funnels also look a bit rough. Other than ghosting (I know, I've been saying that a lot), I'd say work on prioritizing confidence over accuracy. Once you got confidence down, then you can work on fitting the ellipse snugly.
Boxes
Plotted Perspective: Though it's generally not the important exercise, you might want to go back and do 2-3 frames of it.
Rough Perspective: Good job on keeping your width lines parallel and your height lines perpendicular. Might want to experiment by overlapping your boxes and trying different sizes.
Rotated Boxes: Did a pretty decent job. When going back to this exercise, I'd say work on keeping your gaps narrow.
Organic Perspective: You did really good on keeping convergences. Nice pushing through.
Conclusion
On the whole, you did a good job playing with the concepts written.
Be a little more patient/conscious of when you're ready to make the mark. If you are making roughly different motions each time you ghost, work on getting one motion down pat for the mark you're going to make. Again, sitting/drawing postion might be part of this.
Next Steps:
Because plotted perspective isn't a big deal of an exercise, I think I'm okay in saying you are free to move on. I recommend using lines exercises as warm-ups to work on confidence. If not, the 250 Box Challenge can help in regards to smooth strokes.
Excellent feedback, thanks for all the input! :D
Some of you may remember James Gurney's breathtaking work in the Dinotopia series. This is easily my favourite book on the topic of colour and light, and comes highly recommended by any artist worth their salt. While it speaks from the perspective of a traditional painter, the information in this book is invaluable for work in any medium.
