Great! Thanks for getting back.

  1. First few things, your ghosted lines all seem to be in one direction.

Generally I wouldn't point it out here, but in your next pages (in particular your Organic Perspective) the lines are really wobbly.

On your rough perspective, alot of it is off.

I'd recommend doing ghosting line exercises in different angles. Remebering to rotate your page, going over the same line over, before commiting to a line. Then, going to your rough perspective exercises, doing essentially the same but taking the corner and ghosting it the the VP.

  1. In some of your Organic perspective boxes, some of the planes look off. As if they don't really fit into each other. As you go onto the 250 box challenge, I want you to make sure that the planes of each fits together nicely. This means making sure all the pararell lines go through a VP (Even if you can't see it make sure that idea is there.)

I hope that you incorporate the ghosting exercises into your 10-15min warmup routine as you begin your first challenge. Great job!

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.
