Lines:
Superimposed lines: Good job with making clear and confident lines with fraying on only one side. There is some good improvement from one page to the next, with more accuracy, less wobbling, and less arching. There is still some arching, but not much.
Ghosted lines: Very good job overall. The lines are confident, straight, and accurate with not much arching. There is a little bit of curving at the end of a line sometimes. Something that helps me with this is to leave a bit of extra room for my arm to move after the plotted position for the end of the line.
Ghosted lines: Good overall, but the lines were better in the ghosted lines exercise. Try to maintain that kind of line quality. It’s good that you are still plotting out the lines.
Ellipses:
Table of ellipses: The ellipses are drawn through and confident, and there is a good variety when it comes to degree and angle. Some of them are very tight and clean. Some ellipses went out of bounds or overlapped with other ellipses, though, which is something to improve.
Ellipses in planes: Good job at drawing ellipses with confidence and with drawing through. There is a little bit of overlap, but that’s not as important, and it’s improved from the previous exercise.
Funnels: Very good job at keeping the funnels symmetrical, with only a few exceptions like the middle one. The line quality of the ellipses is still good and you did a good job at keeping the ellipses touching each other and the side of the funnels.
Boxes:
Plotted perspective: Good job overall, with good lines, good hatching, and a good variety of angles.
Plotted perspective: The accuracy of the vanishing points is very well done and a lot of them came very close. Some of the lines are more wobbly compared to before. Make sure to keep the lines confident.
Rotated boxes: Well done overall, with good lines and good confidence. Also did a good job at keeping boxes tight together.
Organic perspective: Good variety of boxes when it comes to proportion, angle and overlap with each other. However, some of the lines are made up of smaller, scratchy lines instead of one confident line. There is also some repeated lines. Make sure to keep the previous lessons about lines in mind when drawing boxes.
Thank you for such a detailed review, my friend! Good luck on your own journey c:
Hi Trashyy,
I won't hold it against you for reusing paper. I know not everyone has access to fresh paper at all times. In the future, I would recommend you to buy printer paper in the near future if you can.
Everything looks good here to me, I just have two main complaints.
Your ellipses are a bit loose. I'd like to see you redo a page of the tables with tighter circles.
Your lines on the forced perspective don't travel all the way. Please see Uncomfortable's example. If you redo one page with the lines travelling all the way, we can call it good.

Next Steps:
1 page of Tables of Ellipses.
1 page of Plotted Perspective, with the lines all the way to the VP.
This is a remarkable little pen. I'm especially fond of this one for sketching and playing around with, and it's what I used for the notorious "Mr. Monkey Business" video from Lesson 0. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.
Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.
I would not recommend this for Drawabox - we use brush pens for filling in shadow shapes, and you do not need a pen this fancy for that. If you do purchase it, save it for drawing outside of the course.
