Line
First of all, I see you made four pages of superimposed lines and two pages of rotated boxes. I would suggest doing them only as it is stated, 2 pages of superimposed lines, and 1 page of rotated boxes. You can add those exercises to your warm-ups so you don't have to grind and draw pages of homework more than it is suggested. Other than this, your superimposed lines clearly show that you improved a great deal. In the beginning, there were frayings on both ends which shows that you were going a little faster and weren't planning your lines before drawing it. But as you practiced, both the accuracy and the frayings got better.
In ghosted lines, the lines are wobbly and arching but I liked how you improved in ghosted planes. Even though there are still some wobbly lines, I can see that you started doing more confident and straight lines and as you reached the boxes your lines became more confident and accurate.
Ellipses
I really liked your ellipses. They are confident, evenly shaped, and sitting snugly in their allotted spaces in the table of ellipses homework. They are inside the boundaries and they are touching each other without overlapping. Ellipses on the planes seem really good as well. In the funnels, alignment with the minor axis is well done. As you practice your ellipses in your warm-ups, you can be more accurate with them so keep drawing them with confidence and going over them 2-3 times.
Boxes
In 'Rough Perspective', your horizontal lines are parallel to the horizon, and vertical lines are perpendicular to the horizon most of the time, so it is well done. You can try to be more accurate when extending the lines to the vanishing point.
In the rotated boxes, the rotation is very good. You seem to understand the rotation. But, for line weight, it is the same as the lines, it should be confident straight lines, instead of going over the existing lines. Line weight should be applied only to the parts of lines to overlap, not whole lines. And try to not fix your lines. It draws even more attention. Good job on drawing through your boxes. "Organic perspective" looks good.
Next Steps:
I am really glad to mark this lesson as complete. You can go ahead and start 250 Box Challenge. As you go further, keep practising these exercises as your warm-ups.
Thanks you for your critic!!!!!
These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.
Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
