Hello!

  • Superimposed lines look good. There's a bit of fraying on your start point for the wavy & curved ones.

  • Ghosted lines have subtle curve to some. You look consistent in proximity to your targets. Nice job!

  • Ghosted planes look good, although there is some curving to the lines. Keep working on drawing from the shoulder.

  • Ellipse tables show a lot more space between the ellipses. You really want to sit them in there nice and snug. Some circles are squaring at random points as well. Definitely rely on ghosting the circle prior to marking it. What's helped me is to slow down to ghost the circle and where it will hit, then when I feel I'm nailing the hits, I'll make those confident circles. You were improving as that exercise ended though.

  • Ellipses in planes look good. You're coming up short on some axes, but you were getting better as the exercise progressed. Same with tightness of circle's lines.

  • With funnels, same issues cropped up again. Hitting your extreme edges, and snugging up the ellipses.

  • Plotted perspective was a good effort. Some boxes have arcing lines.

  • Rough perspective is a good effort as well. I think you'll improve on these the more you're doing boxes/other exercises.

  • Rotated boxes, along the outer edge, the boxes don't look rotated away from us. Better effort on your 2nd attempt at that upper right corner, but that same rotating issue persists.

  • Organic perspective: Definitely seeing improvement over the pages. Your grasp of perspective is gaining!

Nice job overall, and great to see the improvement you made so quickly.

Next Steps:

I think you're ready to move onto the next exercise.

Thanks for the critique!

Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.

Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
