Those funnel ellipses look good. You could have experimented with wider gaps and thinner ellipses, but that's good.

There is a lot of scratching on your lines on the organic perspective and rotated boxes.

You forgot to draw the full boxes on the rotated boxes, many don't have a back face. There was no need to do the exercise twice.

The thing with organic perspective is that it looks like you're just compacting them, making them shorter, so to speak. There was no need to draw them fully in this exercise, only the front, "visible" faces.

Next Steps:

Rotated Boxes and Organic Perspective, this time with zero scratching over any lines.

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

Thanks for your remarks. I'm happy to get noticed that my ellipses got better because

in my first submission, I was one of the main criticism.

Here are new pics for the plotted perspective and rough perspective.

I've also redone an organic perspective and tried to leave the inside of the box unseen as in example and I you told me in your last message.

About scratching, I'll use a new pen with a new tip in my next submissions. I've started

draw a box a month and use only 3 different pens and haven't thrown them (yet?)

so may be the tip is starting to get old. Can an old tip can create scratching?

A always thanks you remarks!

The scratching is you drawing over a line, i should probably have clarified this earlier.

Think back to the first exercise, the superimposed lines. A lot of your scratching is due to you doing the same thing, drawing over a second time, where you should not. For every exercise, you draw a line and that's it, no drawing over it, no "fixing" it.

Here's what I mean. Red = scratching, Green = correct lines

Thanks the example sheet ^_^.

It was very clear. Indeed a picture values 1000 words. What scratching means is in fact broken contour/art line.

I've made a new official submission today.

Thanks to your remarks, the ellipses and the funnel won't be such as problem as they were last month. I didn't manage to fully get rid of the scratching but I know that I have to be careful about it, so that's a step in the good direction.

This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.

When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.

Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
