Lesson 1: Lines, Ellipses and Boxes

Who would've known drawing straight lines was hard :P
Hi ! Sometimes your lines are a little wobbly , make shure to draw them strong and confidently, remeber to always prioritize confidence over accuracy. Other than that the lines exercises are well done.
It seems you've got some trouble keeping your elipses within the bounds, try ghosting a little more before drawing each one. You got better with it once you got to the funnels.
It looks like you had some difficulty on the first rough perspective exercise, but you got much better on your second try.
The rotated boxes exercise is not that bad, you seem to have understood the rotation concept, which is the hardest part. Remember to keep edges that are close together practically parallel, and focus on drawing them more confidently.
Moving on to the 250 boxes I would pay extra attention to drawing condifent lines, other than that I think you did a very nice job !
This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.
When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.
Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
