Hi Nirvik!
Congratulations on finishing your first lesson!
The line exercise looks great – line quality is good and they are not wobbly. I would encourage you to include superimposed lines in your warm-ups and maybe try with shorter lines first, and then, after doing a few shorter lines, go for the full-page-width lines. It should lessen the fraying.
You've done well with ellipses as well – they are mostly kept within the bounds of the table / plane and few of them are overlapping. While constructing your future warmups, I would include funnels – they should be symmetrical, when cut in half.
I personally struggled with the rotating exercise boxes and you've done great. Congrats!
About last pages – those with organic perspective – the lines seem a bit lighter and less confident then on previous pages. Remember to ghost the lines and try to perform them with confidence.
Finally, looking at the boxes, I can say that perspective is a bit off – but it's completely normal at the beginning! 250 boxes challenge is a great method of figuring out how convergence in boxes work and help you with estimating free-hand perspective.
Keep up the good work!
Good luck!
Next Steps:
250 box challenge

Thank you so much for reviewing my assignment, It was really helpful. I will work on my confidence and estimating convergence with the 250 box challenge! Thank you again
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.
