Hey seanyboy my name is trollfromhell and i am ready to give u my critiques for your finished lesson 1
1.lines
your super imposed lines look good and the lines are fraying only at the far end and i guess the more u do ghosting method before u stroke ur straight line the better ur straight lines become at the far end and also your ghosting lines are okay
2.ghosted planes/elipses in planes
i am sure u find it difficult at first to put elipses in a narrow size planes but i see you have confidenct lines and good elipses so yeah they look okay
3.tables of elipses
they are okay but i think when u draw elipses keep the lines close together so they will look tightened and it takes lots of elipses to draw and eventually you will hit clean elipses 4.funnels
On funnels, the minor axis (the line in the middle) should cut ellipses in 2 symetrical halves.
5.plotted perspective
just draw lighty for the lines of the boxes but when u put shadow do make it darker so it will make it look 3D6.rough perspective
the vanishing point is always on the horizontal line so u should plot your boxes towards it also width lines and height lines perpendicular to the horizontal line
7.rotated boxes
they look okay but u just need to move to 250 boxes to get a grasp on it
8.rough perspective
when u draw ur boxes make sure the perspective is not too extreme so it will be much easier for you to rotate that on your mind

Hello trollfromhell. Thank you for the critique but I needed to ask you this one question: What does it mean for perspective to be extreme? Sure, I can't let the vanishing point get off the page but if it's not, how can it be too extreme? Why not go far off the middle of the horizon line?

my point is make sure the vp is just far off the page because when we put the vp too close to the boxes it will look like we (the viewers) see a very tall object from the ground another thing is when you look at a cube quite close,you are not gonna be able to see 4 sides anymore you will see just see 3 parts or 2 parts of the boxes,this picture will explain what i am talking about https://imgur.com/Kqg6uMX
so like in rough perspective you just need to keep the boxes perspective far off so it will not look like a very tall object being rotated

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.
