The way you phrased your message there made me think of, "it's been 3 months since my last confession". Perhaps I should have Drawabox registered as a church. Anyway, good to hear that you're holding more closely to the 50% rule, and that it's helping you pace yourself more reasonably!

Starting with your form intersections, overall these are pretty well done. Your intersections appear to largely suggest a pretty well developing understanding of how these forms relate to one another. There are two issues to keep in mind however:

• Draw through all of y our ellipses - even the bigger ones. This will help you maintain a confident pace, which in turn will help keep them more evenly shaped.

• Watch your box constructions, specifically the convergences of those sets of parallel lines (as we explored back in the box challenge). Right now you're doing okay, but there are definitely issues with convergences that while minor do contribute to some issues in your constructions later on in this lesson. Make sure you're doing some freely rotated boxes (with the line extensions) to keep sharpening your skills in this area.

Moving onto your object constructions, the first thing that stands out definitely is the issue I just touched upon - in a number of drawings, like your power adapter and your USB dongle, the construction of the original box enclosure being off definitely makes the resulting object feel skewed. I am however pleased that despite this mistake, you did for the most part stick to it, rather than trying to make any corrections. At the end of the day, we have to commit to the forms and marks we've put down, and keep trudging forwards.

At the end of the day, take more time to draw your lines, and always think about how they're oriented relative to the other lines with whom they share a vanishing point. It's easy to lose track of that and just draw lines relative to those that are closer to them, and this leads us to unintentional divergences.

Moving onto the doorstop, one thing I wanted to draw your attention to was how you handled that wavy edge along the base of the object. This is actually something we talked about back in Lesson 3, in regards to building more edge complexity onto a leaf's edge. Don't attempt to replace the existing line with a new one that zigzags back and forth. Instead, build upon the existing edge by cutting individual notches into it as shown here. If you then need them to be rounded out, you can do so afterwards, building upon the straighter lines as explained here.

There are going to be situations where you may be tempted to just treat your drawing as though it is a series of lines on a page, resulting in complex detail being drawn in the way you did here. Always focus on how your marks represent edges in 3D space, cutting along 3D surfaces. Even that last touch of detail or complexity can accidentally flatten out an otherwise mindful and well built out construction, just because you were a little too eager to call it finished.

Now, as far as that is concerned, I think that the lengths you went to throughout most of your work here, in subdividing your constructions and giving yourself appropriate landmarks is really commendable. I especially like the specificity with which this bottle was built, and the care shown there definitely paid off.

Overall, I am pleased with your results, and you're absolutely moving in the right direction. As such, I'll go ahead and mark this lesson as complete. Keep what I've said here in mind, but feel free to move on ahead.
