Congrats Clementine for completing the exercises. Here's my feedback
LINES
Superimposed lines feel rushed. Be sure to take the time to reposition the pen on the paper. There is frayingon both ends
Ghosted lines are alright, they veer a little to the end point but not too much. Just remember that smooth and straight is more important than hitting the point
Ghosted planes are ok. Well done
ELLIPSES
table of ellipses: you were supposed to do a border inside the page, this complicated your job quite a lot. The ellipses are acceptable, focus on passing over the first loop more accurately than fitting the ellipse in the right space
Ellipses in planes are ok. You hit the point nicely. You can work on the same problem as before. Surely done well enough
Funnels are your weak point in the ellipses section. Passed barely. Focus on maintaining the same axis.
BOXES
Plotted perspective a bit sketchy. Maybe you don't have a lot of practice in technical drawing, or maybe you were nervous. It's acceptable anyway
Maybe it will surprise you, but rough perspective is actually well done. You will get a much better eye for perspective later, but you seem to have understood the point, and that is something that can't be said for a lot of the other people submitting here
Rotated boxes is where it all falls apart. they look like a sheet instead of a ball. This is mainly due to not rotating
This might help you
Organic perspective contains some really wonky boxes. Remember that in the initial Y the angles all need to be >90° Also some edges diverge from the VP. The edges need to get closer to the edge that makes the initial Y, when you move along said edge. In other words, pick a line of the Y. Start from the center and move out to the vertex. From there two segments start, correct? Now, those two need to be shorter than the other two lines that make up the Y, respectively. And that must be true no matter which initial line of the Y you chose.
You will get a heck of a ton of practice in the 250 boxes challenge, so no need to redo that one
Next Steps:
I'm sorry, but the rotated boxes exercise won't do, so while you're at it, might as well do a couple funnels. I'd like to see submitted:
-
Two (not two pages, just two) regular funnels and one corner funnel
-
The rotated boxes exercise
Standard recommendation: remember to do your warmups and to draw from the shoulder.
