Superimposed lines - Generally good but for longer lines, your lines seem to start arching toward the end

Ghosted lines - It seems that this exercise is missing. Perhaps you forgot to include it. If you have skipped, it please complete the excercise.

Ghosted planes - You have only completed 1 out of 2 pages for this exercise, please complete it. Other than that, your lines are smooth and confident and now you can focus on improving accuracy.

Ellipses in planes - These look good - smooth and fit within the plane , they just need to tighten up. You have only completed 1 out of 2 pages for this exercise, please complete it.

Table of ellipses - Again, nice smooth ellipses that fit generally don't overlap, just try to keep them with in the boundaries .

Funnels - There is a funnel where there are many gaps between the ellipses and a funnel where the ellipses don't fit within the funnel, the others look better but some ellipses are misaligned with the minor axis. Perhaps you should go over this lesson and exercise again.

Rotated boxes - You did well in rotating the boxes but I recommend drawing them bigger.

Rough perspective - You have only completed 1 out of 2 pages for this exercise, please complete it. Despite this, most of your lines look clean but I can see some places where you redid the line, make sure you ghost until you are confident in the stroke you are making.

Organic perspective - Your lines here don't seem as confident perhaps because you were struggling to construct boxes for imagination. I'd say think about what box you are trying to draw before putting down any marks. Then plot points and ghost your lines until comfortable. Understanding the construction of boxes will come with time and will develop much more in the 250 box challenge. Make sure to read over the lesson and watch the videos on boxes again before you start the challege and during it if you get stuck.

Next Steps:

Please complete/redo the following lessons to move forward:

Ghosted planes - 1 page

Ellipses in planes - 1 page

Funnels - Redo (Draw 4 funnels)

Rough perspective - 1 page

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

Hi, thank you for the insightful feedback. The revisions are in this link, if you have the time to check them I would appreciate it.

I struggled with the funnels and the rough perspective again. I watched the videos and read the texts, but doing it is so difficult. That's why I struggled with the organic and rotated boxes also.

The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
PureRef

PureRef

This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.

When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.

Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
