Hi! my second feedback here, so I hope can help you!
The elipses are really good! You've got a nice control skill and shoulder/elbow moviment! You do good ghostlines too, in general.
On lesson "Ellipses in Planes" you've got nice elipses, but you need to watch where is the right center on all sides of the planes, because in some cases, you trace on one extremity. You must divide the lines/ side at the center and trace from here to other center of other side/line.
The last organic perspective are very good! with a very few mistakes and one or two distortions, but the trace is very
firm!
Next Steps:
As I said before, you've got nice control skill and shoulder/elbow moviment, the lines are firm, the elipses too and looks like you have good spatial notion!
GO the next step! Good luck with the train!

Hi,
your lines seems to be quite confident. Only in some cases it looks like you bend them at the end toward ending dot - you can overshoot dot - it is confidency more important then accuracy; and if you doing line not accurately going through ending dot try to not correct this but do them as straight as possible.
Ellipses are also good, I just see in some that your lines are not confident, are wobbling and are stiff, they looks like done very slowly and carefully. You could try to draw them slightly quicker with shoulders and using ghosting.Again - smoothnes and confidence over accuracy.
Plotted perspective well done. Only two or three edges aren't parallel to horizon line. Correcting lies done correctly.
Rotated boxes are done good.
Organic perspective also gives impresion of space, boxes are made smaler as they are further.
Overall - well done. Use this exercises as a pool to your warm-ups.

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw
Right from when students hit the 50% rule early on in Lesson 0, they ask the same question - "What am I supposed to draw?"
It's not magic. We're made to think that when someone just whips off interesting things to draw, that they're gifted in a way that we are not. The problem isn't that we don't have ideas - it's that the ideas we have are so vague, they feel like nothing at all. In this course, we're going to look at how we can explore, pursue, and develop those fuzzy notions into something more concrete.
