Okay it may have taken over six hours but here it is. I still am not 100 percent sure this is going to work but after spending an hour trying to get this right, this is what I have: https://imgur.com/a/C0zZMzl

Don't worry about the time. Most important thing is that you do your best on every line, if it takes 2 weeks to finish an assignment or whatever, then it takes 2 weeks. No problem.
Now into your exercises you're making good progress, good job! Lines are also converging even if at pairs at least, so that's another good thing.
Next thing I wanted to talk about is that most of your boxes on the last revisions you did were extreme perspective. So I want you to do one page of boxes of extreme perspective (with vanishing points on the page or almost on the page, and one page of boxes on shallow perspective, with the vps far away from the page, like you did on the last box.
Make sure you focus on drawing the lines cleanly like you did just now and good luck!
Next Steps:
-1 page of boxes with shallow foreshortening
-1 page of boxes with extreme foreshortening
After over an hour and after 23 attempts for the first one and five for the second one, I'm pretty shot and hurting with my brain. I really hope the converging lines shows: https://imgur.com/a/D0wDQtn
Hello! First of all make sure you don't do several attempts. It's important that you don't repeat the exercises because the thing we want to critique is your understanding, not the results. So when you're told to do one page, just do one page, no more.
On the boxes you've done some good attempts already not repeating lines and drawing them confidently! But I want you to see what you actually do, I want you to do 2 more pages, but this time draw 4-5 boxes per page, not just one, so I have more stuff to critique. And remember, don't repeat anything! If something goes wrong, just keep going.
Good luck and keep up the good wokr!
Next Steps:
1 page of boxes with shallow perspective (4-5 boxes)
1 page of boxes with extreme perspective (4-5 boxes)
While I have a massive library of non-instructional art books I've collected over the years, there's only a handful that are actually important to me. This is one of them - so much so that I jammed my copy into my overstuffed backpack when flying back from my parents' house just so I could have it at my apartment. My back's been sore for a week.
The reason I hold this book in such high esteem is because of how it puts the relatively new field of game art into perspective, showing how concept art really just started off as crude sketches intended to communicate ideas to storytellers, designers and 3D modelers. How all of this focus on beautiful illustrations is really secondary to the core of a concept artist's job. A real eye-opener.
