Lines and ellipses are pretty good and confident overall. Great job!

On boxes you mainly have the issue of repeating lines. No matter how off a line is, don't repeat it, keep going as if it was correct.

You've also repeated some of the exercises. Only do the recommend page number and post. People who critique will tell you what to repeat if you need to, don't decide by yourself.

On rotated boxes, some of your boxes weren't actually rotating, careful with that, this mistake is explained here.

You're missing the exercise of rough perspective.

Follow the guidelines in general. There's an example homework and a certain format to do the exercises. In organic perspective for example, you haven't followed it.

On organic perspective don't forget to draw through your boxes. You should be able to see the boxes, even if they're covered by other boxes. You can clarify after the overlaps by adding a confident, drawn with the shoulder superimposed line on the part of the silhouette of the boxes that overlap. Perspective on them has issues but you'll work on it on the box challenge, so don't worry about it!

Next Steps:

Reply this with the rough perspective exercise's pages you're missing and I'll go over it, keep it up!

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

Sorry for the later reply. I'll get working on the rough perspective exercies right away. The extra pages you saw were the warmup pages. Should i redo the rotated boxes and the organic boxes too?

Just the rough perspective, you'll keep working on the others through warmups

With being able to see through your boxes I meant this. Drawing through each individual box is optional, but you should be able to see the boxes completely if they're covered by other boxes.

Rough perspective looks good, though remember that as I said before, you shouldn't repeat lines even if they're wrong.

Next Steps:

Good job and good luck on the box challenge!

I'll keep that in mind from now on

I've uploaded the rough perspective exercise in the folder.

Also the example homework for the organinc perspective doesn't have boxes that have been drawn through.

A lot of my students use these. The last time I used them was when I was in high school, and at the time I felt that they dried out pretty quickly, though I may have simply been mishandling them. As with all pens, make sure you're capping them when they're not in use, and try not to apply too much pressure. You really only need to be touching the page, not mashing your pen into it.

In terms of line weight, the sizes are pretty weird. 08 corresponds to 0.5mm, which is what I recommend for the drawabox lessons, whereas 05 corresponds to 0.45mm, which is pretty close and can also be used.
