Hi here goes, Overall your work is excellent if incomplete. The rotated box exercise is missing! There are also one or two points i'd like to bring your attention to:-

Superimposed lines - great but you havnt tried any of differing lengths, they are more difficult the longer they get and also you dont seem to have done any arced or wavy lines. It is important to read the instructions carefully.

Ghosted planes - your lines on these are brilliant - they were done freehand right? One or two of the ellipses missed the edges but overall pretty good.

Rough Perspective - lines are a little wobbly here and there. Any lines drawn are equally important so great care shouldbe taken with all of them. The silhouette doesnt appear to have been reinforced either as instructed.

Rotated boxes - missing

Organic Perspective - great overall, although watch your lines and only an occasional slip up with the box sizing.

Good stuff

Next Steps:

Complete and submit the rotated box lesson

Use your warm up sessions to practice your longer and wavy superimposed lines

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

Thank you so much for the critique. I have no clue why rotated box didn't get uploaded so I'm sorry, i uploaded it again in the link below. I also went ahead and re-did lesson 1, I'd appreciate feedback on this too.

Well done - really nice job overall!

I would just add try and take a little more care with drawing your lines on the rotated boxes lesson - use ghosting the lines until you feel youve got it before drawing and always draw from the shoulder.

Move on to the 250 box challenge!

Next Steps:

250 box challenge up next!

Thanks!

Yea actually I've never drawn from shoulder before so my lines arent perfect but im trying my best to make sure i get the habit of doing that :)

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.
Ellipse Master Template

Ellipse Master Template

This recommendation is really just for those of you who've reached lesson 6 and onwards.

I haven't found the actual brand you buy to matter much, so you may want to shop around. This one is a "master" template, which will give you a broad range of ellipse degrees and sizes (this one ranges between 0.25 inches and 1.5 inches), and is a good place to start. You may end up finding that this range limits the kinds of ellipses you draw, forcing you to work within those bounds, but it may still be worth it as full sets of ellipse guides can run you quite a bit more, simply due to the sizes and degrees that need to be covered.

No matter which brand of ellipse guide you decide to pick up, make sure they have little markings for the minor axes.
