Hi!
I'll take care of your submission work of Lesson 1.
The Superimposed Lines : You should use the ghost method before drawing. Try to use a ruler for each side of line first.
For example line 2-3 inches by a ruler. And then you ghost before draw on that line 8 times. And you ghost the same size and draw a line. You have that line of ruler to be your reference. And then follow along of the process by changing the size until you draw a line of half page and finally full of page. Don't forget to dot the starting and ending point before ghosting.
The ghosting method is the key. It helps you to improve your ghosted lines which don't stop at the end point. Ghost many times until your arm direct from the starting to the ending point and then draw it with confidence. I mean let the brain and hand do their job because we ghost it many times.
The Ghost Lines and the Ghost planes: Most of them don't stop at the end point. Therefore ghost many times until your eyes see that your arm stops at the end point and then you draw it. I think it will help.
Table of Ellipses : Some of them are not nudged each other. They are quite loose and pointy at head.
The Funnel : The first ellipses next to the center line are not connected to that line. There is no the center line on a funnel.
The Rough Perspective : Your free-hand line drawing is quite wobbling. Therefore they show their unparalleled and non-vertical lines.
Next Steps:
Please revise your work,
1 Page of the superimposed line
1 Page of the ghosting line
1 Page of the funnel
and 1 Page of the rough perspective
You could use the same sketchbook by adding your new images. This time please write down on the description of 4 images as the revised superimposed line, etc.
If you improve, I'll mark your lesson as complete.
Enjoy

Thanks for the insightful critique!
And sorry for the delay.
I redid the exercises you requested, hopefully there is some improvement.

The exercises I've done now should be marked with a description.

Hi!
First thing, the rough perspective boxes, the perpendicular lines are not straight.
I find that you have a problem with straight line. The straight line is important, no wobble, no tilt.
I would like to suggest you use this way. If you have time do it everyday.
-
Use a ruler to draw a line start from 2-3 inches, and then you superimpose it 8 times. Every time you want to draw a line, use the ruler first and then superimpose. Then you vary the size of the line to 5-6 inches, half of page and full of page.
-
Mark 2 dots and use the ghosting method to draw a line. You'll ghost until you see that your pen start from the starting point and stop and the end point again and again. And then you draw the line. Then you vary the size of line.
Funnel : That's the improvement.
I wonder that your superimposed lines and the ghosted lines are improved. But what's a reason when you draw a line in the rough perspective is quite different?
May I ask you to revise the rough perspective? Plz be careful the perpendicular line (which I see in your revision).
Next Steps:
1 Page of the rough perspective

Thanks again for taking the time!
You're right, i have a problem creating straight perpendicular lines. I've made this the subject of my warmups and trained a bit extra on that as well.
My new revised Rough perspective has been added and marked with a description.

Some lines are still not straight nor perfect but i think it's an improvement.

Forget to tell you.
When you finish your revision.
Send me back your link and I'll take care of it.

It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
The Art of Blizzard Entertainment
While I have a massive library of non-instructional art books I've collected over the years, there's only a handful that are actually important to me. This is one of them - so much so that I jammed my copy into my overstuffed backpack when flying back from my parents' house just so I could have it at my apartment. My back's been sore for a week.
The reason I hold this book in such high esteem is because of how it puts the relatively new field of game art into perspective, showing how concept art really just started off as crude sketches intended to communicate ideas to storytellers, designers and 3D modelers. How all of this focus on beautiful illustrations is really secondary to the core of a concept artist's job. A real eye-opener.
