Welcome to draw a box!
Superimposed lines
The lines are reaching the points accurately but the strokes are quite shaky, try to prioritize the straightness of the line over the accuracy because that will improve as you keep practicing. The lines can become shaky if your arm is too tense, try to rotate the page until you're comfortable and increase the stroke speed if it helps.
Ghosted lines
Same as superimposed lines.
Ghosted planes and Ellipses in planes
The ellipses are quite accurate but like the lines they too are wobbly.
Table of Ellipses
Most ellipses are toughing the walls and they aren’t overlapping which is good.
Funnels
The ellipses are aligned, but you seem to struggle with the ones on the end.
Plotted Perspective Boxes
You followed the instructions correctly.
Rough Perspective Boxes
You are repeating lines quite a bit, and if the perspective is giving you trouble then don’t rush yourself, take a step back and think about how the lines will join the vanishing point, don’t worry too much about the shape of the box that will get better when you start working on the 250 box challenge.
Rotated Boxes
It looks like you understand how the + part of the box works but you seem to be having trouble with the corners, Don’t worry if it looks off this exercise is difficult and you’ll get better once you learn more about perspective.
Organic boxes
Some of the boxes are repeating. but again, once you start the 250 box challenge you will get better.
Before moving on to the 250 box challenge I’d like you to revise 1 page of superimposed lines to improve the wobble and 1 page of rough perspective since it looks a bit rushed. I hope this was helpful!
Next Steps:
1 page of Superimposed lines
1 page of Rough perspective boxes
A littble bit of wobbliness going on overall in all the exercises. Apart from that, seems pretty solid for a beginner I think. This visualization of the intended technique helped me in my execution of lines, although I'm far from perfect and just a beginner like you.
Next Steps:
Ghosted lines, ghosted planes, ellipses.
This recommendation is really just for those of you who've reached lesson 6 and onwards.
I haven't found the actual brand you buy to matter much, so you may want to shop around. This one is a "master" template, which will give you a broad range of ellipse degrees and sizes (this one ranges between 0.25 inches and 1.5 inches), and is a good place to start. You may end up finding that this range limits the kinds of ellipses you draw, forcing you to work within those bounds, but it may still be worth it as full sets of ellipse guides can run you quite a bit more, simply due to the sizes and degrees that need to be covered.
No matter which brand of ellipse guide you decide to pick up, make sure they have little markings for the minor axes.
