You should draw through your ellipses at least twice or three times as stated in the instructions.

You have only drawn the visible sides of the boxes in the rotated boxes and organic perspective boxes instead of drawing all of them.

Have you used digital mediums to do the exercises?

If you have gone through Lesson 0 you should be aware that the exercises should be done on paper with 0.5 mm fineliners, your work has marks of varying thickness instead.

It's recommendable doing over the entire lesson, but before doing that you should revise lesson 0 and actually read it, if you haven't done so before.

Next Steps:

Redo the lesson on paper per Lesson 0's instructions.

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

Thank you for the critique!

I did draw through my ellipses two or three times on most of them. I realize I didn't do this on the first page of Tables of Ellipses, so I did an extra page.

Looking back on the lesson page for Organic Perspective, that exercise didn't require you to draw through your boxes. See Uncomfortable's example homework. Also, I have drawn through my boxes on Rotated Boxes. You can see sides of the box even if they are obstructed.

Also, I did not use digital mediums to do the exercises. They are scans; I have done all of the exercises with pen and paper. I did most of the excersizes with a Pigma Graphic 1 pen. It's a bit thick, but I'm still waiting for my Pigma Micron 08s to come in the mail (they're recommended 0.5mm fineliners).

I don't think that doing over the entire lesson is necessary, I have done it as said in the lesson materials!

My bad then, nothing can stop you now.

The Art of Blizzard Entertainment

The Art of Blizzard Entertainment

While I have a massive library of non-instructional art books I've collected over the years, there's only a handful that are actually important to me. This is one of them - so much so that I jammed my copy into my overstuffed backpack when flying back from my parents' house just so I could have it at my apartment. My back's been sore for a week.

The reason I hold this book in such high esteem is because of how it puts the relatively new field of game art into perspective, showing how concept art really just started off as crude sketches intended to communicate ideas to storytellers, designers and 3D modelers. How all of this focus on beautiful illustrations is really secondary to the core of a concept artist's job. A real eye-opener.
