Hello. I will be reiviewing your lessong one hw
Superimposed Lines: In first submission I saw fraying on both sides. Luckily the second page shows none of that so good work on improvment.
Ghosted Lines: No wobbling I can see so good job on this.
Ghosted Planes: Make sure your lines connect from one dot to the other. Keep an eye on ink in pen/how hard you are pressing into the paper.
Table of Elipses: I think you are trying to squeeze too much into these.
Elipses in Planes: Remember ghosting method as I feel a bit too many of these are breaking out of bounds.
Funnels: Looks like the elipses in these are better.
Plotted perspectives: Very good but some of the hatching is a bit too much. You can spread the lines out for hatching a bit more. They don't have to be that close together.
Rough Perspective: ONly one color is needed as the multi colors makes it very hard to see where the lines go.
Rotated Boxes: Well done attempt.
Organic Perspective: Altough the pen/ink is once again having problems, good work on this.
Next Steps:
First watch your pen/ink so lines aren't breaking or disspearing.
I'd like to see one more page of:

The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
PureRef
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.
