Wow! Your lines are smooth in almost every exercise - very obvious improvement on your 2nd page of superimposed lines.
I want to offer something constructive about your elipeses, but they really look like they're right where you should be at this point - mostly smooth, you're attempting accuracy without getting overwhelmed by it. Nicely done.
But something happened in the perspective drawings - your lines start to wobble. If you're anything like me, you may have gotten intimidated by the 'big picture'. I definitely slowed down and lost some confidence in my lines once I got to these 3D pieces. Accuracy is a little more important in these assignments since we are learning how to map lines to a vanishing point, but the lessons are really calling on us to focus on making smooth confident strokes over accuracy.
Next Steps:
I would suggest doing another frame of plotted perspective, and a whole page (3 frames) of rough perspective.
Focus on planning and ghosting your lines before making a quick, confident stroke.
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.
