Lines
- Fraying at Both sides (specifically curved ones)
-When it comes to straight lines you done well, but when comes to curved ones you seem to fray at the beginning of the line. It shows how didn't took the time to position your pen correctly, fraying should only be present at the far end of your lines (for now at least)
Ellipses
- Ellipses Going Out of Bounds
-There are times you're ellipses goes out of bounds (most prominent in the table of elipses exercise), a reason I suspect is lack of planning. A good way to combat this is to ghost your elipses more.
2.Ellipses Lacking Confidence and Smoothness
-When it comes to drawing bigger elipses you ellipses seem to breakdown, A reason I also suspect it lacks the planning. A good way to combat is also ghosting more.
Boxes
- Struggle with Perspective
-Despite the messy perspective with the rotated boxes exercise and organic perspective exercise, you can make that up through the 250 box challenge.

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.
The Art of Brom
Here we're getting into the subjective - Gerald Brom is one of my favourite artists (and a pretty fantastic novelist!). That said, if I recommended art books just for the beautiful images contained therein, my list of recommendations would be miles long.
The reason this book is close to my heart is because of its introduction, where Brom goes explains in detail just how he went from being an army brat to one of the most highly respected dark fantasy artists in the world today. I believe that one's work is flavoured by their life's experiences, and discovering the roots from which other artists hail can help give one perspective on their own beginnings, and perhaps their eventual destination as well.
