Hey! I’ll be looking through this~

Starting with your superimposed lines, these are looking good. They’re smooth, properly lined up at the start, and of a consistent trajectory. They improve nicely by page 2, especially the arcing ones, though they’re still, occasionally, a little wobbly, which is expected. So long as you keep working on them, being mindful of our priorities (confidence > accuracy), they’re sure to improve. The ghosted lines/planes look quite solid, as well, and I’m pleased to see that you’ve properly plotted out the start/end points of the non-diagonal center lines of the planes- not all students do.

Moving on to your ellipses, the table of ellipses exercise looks good. There’s a few issues, like them starting off a little stiff, before stabilizing, and their tails being a little too visible, but they’re minor, and easily fixed. For the former, try spending a little longer on the ghosting phase, and for the latter, see if you can lift your pen off the page at the end of your rotations. The ellipses in planes exercise looks solid. They’re occasionally a little uneven, but rather than a focus on accuracy, this seems to be as a result of a lack of ghosting (or, to put it another way, you committing to the mark before you feel ready to), so I’d recommend upping that time on this exercise, as well. Finally, the funnels exercise looks nice, the minor axis cutting most ellipses into two equal, symmetrical halves, but I notice that you haven’t paid too much attention to their degrees. You’ll recall that they should either remain consistent, or increase as they move away from the center- not decrease.

Finally, we’ll look at the box section. The plotted perspective exercise looks quite good- nicely done. The rough perspective exercise, on the other hand, is a bit of a mixed bag. Don’t panic, though, this is not uncommon! To start off, line quality takes a bit of a hit here, though it really shouldn’t. Though the big picture is different, what you’re doing is exactly the same as what you did in the lines section: drawing a line from point A to point B- that’s your unit of work, and it’s the same regardless of context. If it can be confident there, it can be confident here, too. Secondly, though you’ve been mindful of all 3 sets of lines (of which 2 should be at infinity, and 1 should converge towards the vanishing point), there’s still the occasional error- the former is at times not fully parallel/perpendicular to the horizon, and the latter seemingly makes no effort to converge at times. This is fixed by spending a little longer on the planning phase, and really considering, and reconsidering, each point, before committing to it. Don’t feel obligated to stick to your original guess. If you find it to be unsatisfactory, ignore it, and add another. Finally, recall that, because of the rules of 1 point perspective, your boxes behave in predictable ways. Specifically, their near/far planes are of the exact same shape, but not size. This can serve as a useful hint, because, if they don’t, you know that there’s been a mistake somewhere. The rotated boxes exercise looks solid. The line quality is a little off here, too (and in the next exercise, as well!), and the boxes don’t quite rotate, and their gaps aren’t quite narrow, but that’s all fine. All we’re looking for here is an attempt that has been seen through to the end, and has been done to the best of your ability. This will do for now. The text time you attempt it, however, try to keep your gaps narrow, so that you may make better use of the neighboring edges of your boxes, and their shared vanishing points, and see if you can be a little more mindful of where said vanishing points are, so that the boxes may rotate as necessary. Finally, the organic perspective exercise looks decent. There’s a slight foreshortening issue (you’ll recall that dramatic foreshortening implies an object of a huge scale, or one that’s really close to us, and, as such, has no place in this exercise), but that’s alright. The boxes look solid, they properly follow the flow line, and increase in size as they do so, properly conveying the illusion. Ideally, you’d be a little more subtle in regards to your line-weight, but even that is alright, as there’ll be plenty of time to practice it in the box challenge. Speaking of, feel free to head on to it!
