You’re welcome in advance! Hello, and welcome to drawabox. Let’s take this one exercise at a time, shall we?

Your superimposed lines show some improvement throughout the set, but, even by the end, they’re a little lacking. They’re mostly smooth, and properly lined up at the start, but their trajectory is ever-changing. See if you can keep it consistent. Your ghosted lines look a lot better by page 2 of the ghosted planes exercise- nice improvement. Still, I see some hesitation near the start. Be careful that you’re not spending so long lining them up to the correct starting point that you’re losing the built-up rhythm.

The table of ellipses exercise is fairly solid. Your ellipses are smooth, and rounded, but not always properly drawn through. Try to go around them a full 2 times, if you can. Also, be a little more mindful of your starting/ending motions, so that they don’t go off trajectory. In the end, specifically, see if you can lift your pen off the page, maintaining the ghosting motion until it’s fully off, rather than just flicking it in the direction of the momentum. The ellipses in planes look solid. They maintain their prior smoothness/roundness, despite this more complicated frame. The funnels look quite good, as well, though I’d perhaps spend a bit longer on the construction of the frame itself. Also, one of the corner funnels is missing its minor axis, which begs the question ‘what did you align those ellipses to?’ Remember that we’re not just drawing ellipses that are ‘roughly upright’, we’re drawing ellipses that are cut into two equal, symmetrical halves by a minor axis.

The plotted perspective exercise looks clean- nicely done.

The rough perspective exercise is not quite there, unfortunately. For starters, the linework is both wobbly, and scratchy. For the former, remember that what you’re doing here is no different, from what you were doing in earlier exercises: drawing a single line, from point A to point B, over and over. Don’t let yourself get overwhelmed by the big picture. For the latter, recall that each line is to be drawn once, and only once, regardless of how it turns out. This includes not extending a line that stops short in a different stroke. The convergences are a little lacking, too. There’s some clear effort to converge, certainly, but the lines aren’t getting as close as they could be. I’m wondering if you’ve misunderstood, and have stuck to a lot of your first guesses? Remember that the goal is to plot a point, check it, and alter it, if need be.

Nice work on the rotated boxes exercise. It’s a little small, but the boxes rotate nicely. You’ve done a good job of keeping them snug (though less so on that last layer), and, though you’ve missed a couple, most of the boxes are properly drawn through. Some of their far planes are a little flat, certainly, but this is not something to concern yourself with right now. For now, we’re just trying to give you an intuitive understanding of how they should behave, which will be something to refer to when we get into the technicalities in the box challenge.

Finally, the organic perspective exercise looks solid. Your boxes follow the flow line, increasing in size, but maintaining a consistent, shallow trajectory as they do. The automatic reinforcing is a bit of an issue sometimes, because it makes boxes that shouldn’t pop up to the front do just that, but that’s alright.
