Your exercises look great. It seems like you are focusing a lot on following the instructions. Your lines are nice and clean, and your ellipses are smooth. One thing I would recommend for the future is to avoid going back over and adjusting your lines after you've drawn them, as you've done in the rough perspective and rotated boxes exercises.

Next Steps:

Your perspective exercises show a pretty good understanding of 3d space, but the organic perspective shows that you still haven't mastered the box method. For now, I would recommend that you move on to the 250 box challenge and refine your boxes before you move on to lesson 2.

Good work, but there's only two thing I would nit pick.

  1. In rotated boxes some of the boxes aren't rotating, two different boxes in the same axis go towards the same vanishing point

  2. In organic perspective the lines sometimes go parallel or even diverges from each other. Just remember that those lines converge at one vanishing point, so they can't be parallel or divergent. This is a small thing that you should be aware about and its not a deal breaker.

Overall very wonderful work! Good luck on 250 box challenge :)

Next Steps:

250 box challenge. Don't forget to warm up with these exercises while you do the challenge to keep your skills sharp!

Thank you, I will try to focus on making my lines converge at the same vanishing point. :)

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.

On the flipside, they tend to be on the cheaper side of things, so if you're just getting started (beginners tend to have poor pressure control), you're probably going to destroy a few pens - going cheaper in that case is not a bad idea.

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.
