Hello Its me! I totally forgot I said I would do this im sorry, but I'm here now and I'll go into much detail. Also, for future reference it is much easier if you just put everything under one link.

Starting off with your superimposed lines, it looks good. You're going back to the same point, drawing confident lines, and fraying is natural. There will be less and less as you go. Your ghosted lines are looking really straight and confident. There's good accuracy between the points as well in terms of going in the right direction. You just tend to over and undershoot; here and here respectively. Completely normal st this stage. Actually slightly above average in my opinion, but thats not whats important! You're doing what you're supposed to. Just keep working on these, and eventually you will get to landing right on the mark more of the time. It wont be every time but more often. You're keeping the same confidence with ghosted planes and lines are staying accurate. Seems you have better line control here actually.

Your Table of Ellipses are doing well, you're rounding them at least twice, and making sure to fit within the bounds, as well as getting that circular shape. Same for the ellipses in planes. The ellipses stay within the planes and are having a strong and confident form. Your funnels are done well. They stay symmetrical on both sides of the ellipse, and are confident. They also fit snug within the space.

Plotted perspective has nice understanding vanishing points. You also show nice line weight and overlap. In rough perspective you show a strong sense of understanding how you're supposed to trace back to the vanishing points. The rotated boxes are good. You got your full rotation and it seems you understand how boxes move in 3-D space. What happened to this step? I heavily suggest you follow all the material more closely! Your organic perspective has good rotation. There is solid change in your initial Y and change in perspective. You used overlap as well. Good job.

Awesome Job. You did pretty well, and it seems like you picked up the material pretty quick, but people would get to this stage eventually after a couple attempts of these exercises as warm ups so we don't fret if their attempts aren't that great as long as they follow instructions. Still, I expect you to do just that! Before every session of boxes I suggest you do warm-ups of your choice. It doesn't have to be a whole page just enough planes, ellipses, lines, superimposing or anything else we've worked on here that you feel you need to work on to get you in the mood for drawing those boxes. Good luck and I'll mark it complete!!!

Next Steps:

I think you did awesome. Keep workin' on da boxes!

Thanks for the critique! Yep, at first I did overshoot lines a bit because the angle at which I am more comfortable drawing isn't 45° and I had yet to figure it out. Now that I got in what direction to move my hand I tend to not overshoot at all, probably can be seen in later excercised, I hope at least lol

For plotted perspective, I preferred not to put the external boxes because I felt that adding more lines (not even related to construction lines) would've made everything more clutter-y and difficult for me to follow, and I was able to rotate the boxes in my head so I opted to not draw them.

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

This is a remarkable little pen. Technically speaking, any brush pen of reasonable quality will do, but I'm especially fond of this one. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.

Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.
