Hi, I'm PGcools and I'll check your work.
I found a lot of mistakes I want you to work on on you warm-ups from now. Please don't get discouraged by this, learning to draw is a lengthy process.
Lines
First of all, your lines doesn't seem to be drawn with much confidence as they present a lot of wobbliness and arching. Also, in Superimposed Lines there's fraying in both ends. You have to place the pen carefully in the beginning dot. To solve try to solve wobbliness remember to prioritize confidence over accuracy and take the time you need to ghost the line before executing it. And arching can be helped by checking if you are drawing with your shoulder and consciously arching the line to the opposite direction. Also, in Ghosted Planed, you must leave a little space between each plane, they must no be touching each other and neither too far away. And you have to fill the entire page.
Ellipses
As in the Lines, your Ellipses are wobbly. Furthermore, they are sometimes drawn only one time and others way to many, remember you should draw them 2 or 3 times, preferably two. There are really far from the bound they should be touching as well, especially in Tables of Ellipses. Where it seems the time to plan and ghost the lines before executing them has not been taken. Ellipses should be keep within the bound, touching each other and without overlapping. Then, you forgot to complete one of the Ellipses in Planes pages. And again, you should fill up the whole page.
Boxes
In Plotted Perspective a page had 3 different panels, not two. And you need to use a ruler to execute the lines, which doesn't seem you did. Also, you should try and change the position of the vanishing points and place the boxes in different heights as well, above and below the horizon line. In Rough Perspective width lines should be parallel to horizon and height lines perpendicular to horizon. And you forgot to apply the corrections method.
In Rotated Boxes the lines are wobbly and you didn't keep a close distance between boxes which made it look like dozens of boxes fling around rather than rotating. You should use the lines of the later box to help you draw the next, just changing one of the sides, which rotates bringing the vanishing point closer to the middle of the page. Lastly, in Organic Perspective I'd recommend to try and change the length of boxes, making them longer in some sides and shorter in other, because it seems you replicated the same box over and over. This is just an advice though, and you will keep working on a lot if you continue with this course.
Don't forget to take all this thing I pointed out into account for your warm ups and remember to take breaks if this feels overwhelming at some point. Go step by step and enjoy the process :)
Next Steps:
Do the Ellipses in Planes page that is missing and apply the line corrections method in Plotted Perspective. Then I'll mark the lesson as complete.
Thank you for the critique, it was exactly what I needed.
Great! Ellipses are still a bit wobbly but there are drawn the correct amount of times and fit the bounds. Good job!
Next Steps:
move on to 250 challenge and don't forget to refresh exercises by warming up.
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.
