Hi! Starting with your line exercises. Your superimposed lines are pretty accurate overall, especially given the length of lines you're drawing. Your ghosted lines and ghosted planes are also good. One thing to watch out for here is some of the lines tend to wobble a bit - make sure you're drawing though all your lines with confidence.

Your tables of ellipses are good in terms of accuracy and consistency, but on a few occasions you're lax on making sure the ellipses overlap with each other. Same goes for your ellipses in planes, regarding the ellipses meeting the edges of the plane. Your funnels are, on the whole, pretty good. There's definite improvement in the ellipses here.

On your rough perspective boxes, your lines could be improved. There are wobbles in places; additionally your horizontal lines should always be parallel with the horizon line, and your vertical lines perpendicular to it. The lines are improved upon in the organic perspective exercise. The biggest thing to improve on here would be your box construction, making sure the lines are converging to the vanishing points. It looks like you've already done the box challenge though, so I hope that improved your understanding! Well done for finishing lesson 1.

Thank you so much for your feedback!

For some reason I hadn't realized that about my elipses until now, but I'll be sure to pay more attention to them from now on.

Thanks again for your feedback, your critiques were very specific and helped me to realize where I should invest more thought into :)

Cottonwood Arts Sketchbooks

These are my favourite sketchbooks, hands down. Move aside Moleskine, you overpriced gimmick. These sketchbooks are made by entertainment industry professionals down in Los Angeles, with concept artists in mind. They have a wide variety of sketchbooks, such as toned sketchbooks that let you work both towards light and towards dark values, as well as books where every second sheet is a semitransparent vellum.
