Superimposed Lines
You have a bit of arching with longer lines but you took the time to align your pen at the start of your line, good
Ghosted Lines
You overshoot most of your lines, that can be fixed if you practice more on the sheet
Ghosted Planes
You overshoot a little bit
Tables of Ellipses & Ellipses in Planes
These are OK but quality of your ellipses decrease at your second page
Funnels of Ellipses
Good
Plotted Perspective
Good
Rough Perspective
You didn't complete some of your lines and a couple of them are wobbly due to hesitation, you'll practice them a lot in 250 box challenge
Rotated Boxes
This one is actually pretty good, well done!
Organic Perspective
Some of these boxes are not actually cubes, you drew some isometric cubes with no perspective but you needed to implement what you've learned from 3 pt perspective here. However your linework is quite good in this exercise
Next Steps:
Proceed to 250 Box Challenge

Color and Light by James Gurney
Some of you may remember James Gurney's breathtaking work in the Dinotopia series. This is easily my favourite book on the topic of colour and light, and comes highly recommended by any artist worth their salt. While it speaks from the perspective of a traditional painter, the information in this book is invaluable for work in any medium.
Remember that when you agree with something another user has written, you are putting your own reputation behind it.
Consider the following:
- If it's homework feedback, does it address each section of the lesson/challenge, or only briefly touch upon one or two exercises?
- Does it provide clearly defined next steps for the student to follow?
- Have you read through it thoroughly, or are you simply agreeing so the student earns a superficial badge?
- Replies you agree with will be visible in your sketchbook
Agreeing blindly just to be nice is a good way to get your permissions associated with this function revoked, so make sure that you genuinely feel that the response is beneficial to the student.
