Heya, congrats on finishing the lesson !
I'll be reviewing your homework.
LINES
Your superimposed lines look good, you placed correctly the pen at the start of your lines but not for all of them, watch out for that, for the medium and longer lines you tend to have more arcing and that's okay ! Your lines are confident, you should try to draw by arcing voluntarily the other way.
Your ghosted lines look great ! There is less arcing, for the most part I'll give you the same advice. Also your are missing some of the dots but that's okay, accuracy comes with practice.
The Ghosted Planes have more wobbles in your lines. Focus on straight, confident lines ensuring your moving at at your shoulder, not the wrist or elbow. Accuracy will come later.
ELLIPSES
For the table of ellipses, remember to go through each ellipses two times. Three times is okay, but never more than that. Don't worry to much about not being accurate for now, just getting smooth, confident ellipses is the current focus.
Same with the ellipses in planes: circle through twice, try to make each side of the ellipse touch each side of the plane, but ultimately focus on confident lines. Accuracy will come later.
On some of your funnels the minor axis (line in the center) do not cut the ellipsis in two symmetrical part.
Your ellipses need accuracy, but it's not what you should be aiming for now, try to practice by drawing more confident and smooth ellipses and when you get the flow you'll be able to practice toward accuracy
BOXES
Your plotted perspective is neat ! nice work
For your rough perspective you want to keep your width lines parallel to horizon and height lines perpendicular to horizon, if not it's going to make your boxes distorted.
Your rotated boxes look really good!
On organic perspective you didn't add any lineweight to the overlapping boxes so sometimes it's kinda hard to guess which lines belongs to who. Lineweight should be added with confident ghosted lines, and solely to the part of lines to overlap, not to whole lines. (watch the exercise video for more infos). Also, there are some boxes that are marked two times the same lines, don't do that. A wrong mark is here to help you learn, you have to accept it :/
Overall great work, keep practicing for confidence, accuracy will come later on, for your ellipses don't worry about them not being perfect yet and deviating during the "second round"; practice drawing them confidently and smoothly. Don't forget that the exercises you just did are now used as warmups, you will choose 3 of them randomly each day to practice (I recommend practicing those everyday even for 5min). Before you move on to the 250 boxes challenge I will ask you to do one page of organic perspective following the instruction of the exercise.
Next Steps:
one page of organic perspective
When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.
A lot of my students use these. The last time I used them was when I was in high school, and at the time I felt that they dried out pretty quickly, though I may have simply been mishandling them. As with all pens, make sure you're capping them when they're not in use, and try not to apply too much pressure. You really only need to be touching the page, not mashing your pen into it.
In terms of line weight, the sizes are pretty weird. 08 corresponds to 0.5mm, which is what I recommend for the drawabox lessons, whereas 05 corresponds to 0.45mm, which is pretty close and can also be used.
