You should definitely use the shoulder more. Movement from the elbow should be to compensate for the shoulder, rather than to lead any kind of motion. It’s not unusual that the upgrade from the wrist to the elbow would lead to good accuracy, and more confident marks than you’re used to, but it is still, as we describe it in the lessons, the ‘path of least resistance’, so I’d try to get myself accustomed to the shoulder the sooner the better. I will judge the submission as-is though, so no stress.

Starting from your superimposed lines, these are well done. I’m sure you can see, however, that you’re running out of the natural range of the elbow with the page-width lines. Notice how they struggle a little at the end? Beyond that, however, they’re smooth and properly lined up at the start and of a consistent trajectory, so nicely done. The arcing lines would benefit from being a little bigger, but they’re not looking too bad like that, either. The ghosted lines/planes look good, and I’m pleased to see so many of them, too! I also appreciate that the overshooting issue in the lines seems to have been fixed by the time you reach the planes, though this may have come in exchange for some confidence, as the line now will sometimes wobble near their ends. Be mindful of that! It’s more important for us that our marks are confident, than accurate.

The table of ellipses exercise looks good. Your ellipses here are a little samey (their angels/degrees), but they’re mostly smooth, rounded, and properly drawn through. You’ll want to push these aspects of them still (their roundness in particular, since there’s the occasional bumpy/pointy ellipse), but you’re on the right track. There’s more of this in the ellipses in planes unfortunately, so I’ll remind you, as before, that confidence is our #1 priority. Quite simply, an ellipse that is smooth, rounded, and properly drawn through is correct no matter what – even if it completely misses its frame. One that adheres to it, but is wobbly, or bumpy, is not particularly useful to us, because in so being, it doesn’t convey an illusion of solidity. The funnels too, are not very varied, and the size of the ellipses certainly hasn’t helped you draw them very confidently, but they show a good start, so no worries.

Onto the box section, the plotted perspective exercise is well done. The back lines, which were causing you some trouble in the first 2 frames, look quite a lot better in the 3rd, so good on you for always trying to do better – that attitude will serve you well in this course. The rough perspective exercise is well done. It’s honestly good from the start, but it manages to improve a little throughout its lifetime. I will say, some of your boxes here are a little too stretched towards the horizon (makes things a little easier), but no reason for stress, either way; the basics are the same regardless. Great work on the rotated boxes exercise. It’s a little small, but its boxes are snug, and they do a good job of rotating, both up front and in the back. You’ve forgotten to draw through some of them, I notice (the 4 diagonal ones), but that’s a small thing, in the whole scheme of things. Save for the last frame, which is a little sloppy (eager to finish, I suppose?), the organic perspective exercise looks good. I certainly love seeing so many unused points on the page – evidence of proper planning! – and though the boxes are a little dramatic in their foreshortening, their construction and size makes it so that they flow quite well, too.
