Sorry for the delay. I'm still struggling with the rotated boxes (Found myself guessing and getting frustrated for the secondary and tertiary boxes) and making lines with confidence. The do over helped though. Let me know if the links work:

No problems about the delay! Take as much time as you need with each page, the more effort you put in on each mark you do the better!

Overall you're making good progress:

-The funnels are more confident now, though sometimes you draw through them only once, make sure you draw through them always 2-3 times, no less no more.

Sometimes they aren't alligned as well. The middle line has to cut the ellipses in 2 symmetrical halves, so make sure you always aim for it even if that means you need to ignore the curves.

-On rotated boxes you're now rotating some of the boxes and kept some of them close, though I can see that you got confused, which is completely normal as this exercise is very hard. Take a look at this diagram I made, that hopefully helps you to keep the boxes close more consistently.

-And lastly on rough perspective you're doing a better job at keeping the verticals and horizontals correct, but the lines are a bit wobbly.

Like I said previously, it's super important that you focus first on confidence over accuracy. A confident line is always going to be better than a wobbly line, here is an example that hopefully makes it a bit clearer. Try to think about every line after drawing the starting and ending dots as a single ghosted lines exercise. If you draw the confident line you win, if you don't you fail. The result on the actual box doesn't matter at all, focus on the individual exercise.

And just as a reminder you should be drawing all lines with your shoulder and ghosting them, no matter how small they are.

Before moving on I want you to do one more frame of rough perspective and another of organic perspective, to make sure you can draw confident lines on boxes. Good luck and keep up the good work!

Next Steps:

-1 frame of rough perspective

-1 frame of organic perspective

Reply again when you get organic perspective, I'll go over both!

Hi there! You're making progress but sometimes you still make your lines a bit wobbly, so to make sure that you know how to draw confidently I want you to draw one organic perspective box, and take one photo after every single line you draw. After drawing each line note at the side which level that line is. Keep in mind that all lines that are wobbly (not straight) no matter how accurate they will be a level 0 Top line here is a level 1 line and bottom is a level 0 one, as an example.

I also think you might be rushing a little bit at times. Make sure you take as much time as you need to do your best on every line you draw. You haven't drawn starting and ending dots on some boxes as well, so make sure you always do it as it's extremely important for the ghosted lines exercise.

And last thing, your lineweight lines are a bit wobbly as well, superimposed lines as lineweight should be confident as well.

Good luck and keep it up!

Next Steps:

Draw a box as explained. One picture per line.
