Lines are p confident in general though they get a bit wobbly at times, because you correct their trajectory.

In these exercises, you should always prioritize confidence over accuracy.

A wobbly line will always be worse than a confident line, no matter how off the confident line is.

If you take a look over the ghosted lines notes you'll see the levels of lines:

Level 1: Line is smooth and consistent without any visible wobbling, but doesn't quite pass through A or B, due to not following the right trajectory. It's a straight shot, but misses the mark a bit.

Level 2: Line is straight, smooth and consistent without any wobbling and maintains the correct trajectory. It does however either fall short or overshoot one or both points.

Level 3: Line is straight, smooth, consistent without any wobbling. It also starts right at one point and ends exactly at the other.

As you can see, wobbly lines aren't mentioned, which means that they would be worse than level 1.

They do get a bit of arching as well on the superimposed lines. If you keep having this issue, a way to improve it is to consciously try to arch the lines in the opposite way.

Ellipses are mostly confident, though a bit wobbly at times too. Remember, confidence > accuracy always.

On boxes mostly good job, though you have a few issues.

You're repeating some lines. No matter how off a line is, don't repeat it.

On rotated boxes, some of your boxes weren't actually rotating, careful with that, this mistake is explained here.

On organic perspective, you can clarify after the overlaps by adding a confident, drawn with the shoulder superimposed line on the part of the silhouette of the boxes that overlap. Perspective on the boxes have issues but you'll work on it on the box challenge, so don't worry about it!

Next Steps:

Overall p good work! Don't forget not to repeat lines and go on to the box challenge! Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the advice!! Will try to be more confident with my lines.

Cottonwood Arts Sketchbooks

These are my favourite sketchbooks, hands down. Move aside Moleskine, you overpriced gimmick. These sketchbooks are made by entertainment industry professionals down in Los Angeles, with concept artists in mind. They have a wide variety of sketchbooks, such as toned sketchbooks that let you work both towards light and towards dark values, as well as books where every second sheet is a semitransparent vellum.
