Hello again. I believe I reviewed the unofficial version of this submission, a year or so ago. Students from that far back will generally re-do a submission, but I suppose it’s not necessary. This goes for your box challenge, too, though we’ll want to see 50 new boxes in addition to the old 250, as they’ll better reflect your current skill. Anything beyond that will need to be re-done, unfortunately. Before we get too ahead of ourselves, though, let’s take a look at this submission.

Your superimposed lines look great; they’re smooth, properly lined up at the start, and of a consistent trajectory. The ghosted lines/planes look solid, also, though you’re a little too conscious of their end points; occasionally, you’ll change your trajectory to meet it, which is not something we encourage. Also, it’s a little hard to tell, but it doesn’t seem (?) like you’re using start/end points for the non-diagonal center lines of the planes – please do.

Your ellipses are very well done, also. They’re smooth and rounded, though perhaps drawn a little too quickly. I’d recommend experimenting with a bunch of speeds, to find the one that’s best suited to you. Also, see if you can lift your pen off the page at the end of your rotations, rather than flicking it off – it’ll get rid of those tails. The ellipses in planes are equally confident, despite these more complicated frames. Their rotations don’t have as easy of a time matching up, but that’s perfectly normal. Finally, the funnels look good, though I’d make them a little bigger, and start increasing the degrees of the ellipses the further they are from the center – thin ellipses are easy mode.

In the plotted perspective exercise, quite a few of your boxes are missing their back lines.

The rough perspective exercise shows some good improvement throughout the set, both in regards to line quality, and convergences. Pay a little more attention the shapes of your planes, however. Since we’re dealing with 1-point perspective, the near plane and the far plane need to be identical in shape (though not size); if they’re not, you know there’s been a mistake somewhere, so give the box another look.

The rotated boxes exercise looks great. It’s big, the boxes are snug, and they rotate nicely. You’ve also been careful about the shape of your far planes, and the convergences look fairly solid, which is not something we expect from a student at this stage. I appreciate the addition of lineweight/hatching, too.

For the organic perspective exercise, it seems like you’ve not plotted start/end points for all of your lines. It’s important to do so. That said, this hasn’t hampered you in any considerable way – your boxes look solid, and their size and foreshortening do a good job of conveying the illusion we’re after.
