Thank you to anyone who will review this :)
Ps: The date on each exercises marks the day of completion. Also it's fun seeing how my lines got straighter over time. Definitely will continue doing this course (and trying my best to be consistent with it :p)
hello, I will do the critique of your homework today, good job for completing the first lesson
(before I start, in your reply could you confirm to me if this is done on paper? it seems scanned but I'm not 100% sure)
Superimposed lines: the exercise is done well but you forgot to upload 1 page.
ghosted lines: The lines are wobbly but I dont want you to redo this excercise
Ghosted planes: The ellipses in Planes are done well, but the lines are wobbly and seem not ghosted enough, always remember to draw from the shoulder, i think you should re do this page, but only the ghosted planes dont redo the ellipses
Tables of ellipses: I think you didn't ghost the ellipses enough, I think you should re check the ellipses lesson and take your time while ghosting, one thing that worked for me was to take it a little slowly while putting the mark, but they are creative, and that's good. I think you should re-do 1 page.
Ellipses in funnels: you did good.
plotted perspective: good job
Rough perspective: You did a good job with the perspective, but the lines have the problems as before + new problem that's trying to redo/cover the line, never do this it develops a bad habit. do 1 page
Rotated boxes: This exercise is done really well. good job
Organic perspective: This exercise is difficult but you did well, good job
i think you are almost ready for the 250 box challenge, have a nice day :>
Again, thank you for the review!
Welp, I forgot to upload the 2nd page of Superimposed Lines :p
Early on, I struggled with finding my correct ghosting 'speed', as in how fast should I trace the lines to be confident AND accurate. Now I kinda understand the emphasis on confidence compared to accuracy.
Didn't realize that redo-ing lines is bad, will take note of that.
[Edit: yes I scanned them; hard to find a good lighting for a photo here]
its important to fix those small bad habits early, so that later you don't have those problems :)
Alright this is the redo for Ghosted Planes exercises!
And this is one is the one that I forgot to send before :P
(P.S: I'm replying here cuz I don't want the reply chain getting too deep :)
I just realized that doing all of the redos will take a long time. Is it okay if I send each exercise when I finish them, rather than sending them all at once at the end?
Here's my Table of Ellipses redo!
This one somehow felt worse that before, though you would be a better judge for that.
Finally, here's my Rough Perspective redo! Sorry for the late reply though.

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.
