Hi Jamie! Let's see...
The lines section looks really good! I'll quickly remind you that the non-diagonal center lines of the plane need to go through its center point (the intersection of the diagonal center lines.) The ellipses are quite nice, as well. Sometimes, those thinner ones, especially, will come out a little pointy, though. Be careful not to revert to a lesser pivot, for those hard turns. The box section, too, looks fantastic. For the organic perspective exercise, remember that the line-weight should be applied locally. That is to say, rather than thickening the entire line, and especially the entire box, thicken the lines that are overlapping, and a little bit past them, for effect, letting the rest of it taper off.

These are all, of course, nitpicks, since this submission has been quite phenomenal from start to finish. Congrats, and good luck on the challenge!

Really valuable advice - thank you. I think the mismatched crosshairs on my planes was a result of judging their position based on the midpoint of the boundary lines as they sat in 2D space, rather than what would be the correct visual midpoint in 3D space. I'll be sure to practice those ellipse exercises to get them looking cleaner. Cheers!
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.
