Notes specific to an exercise are included in the album. In general, though: ellipses hard, boxes easy (at least insofar as making each look correct at a glance)

Sorry about that! I'll reply to your comment with the rest when I've finished them.

I'm pretty unfamiliar with drawing (didn't really care for art back in grade school) so I have a few notes starting out:
-
Does using lined paper present a serious issue? I plan to get plain white paper eventually, but I'm wondering if I can still get some use out of what I have on hand.
-
How many times do you "ghost" a line? I know the exact number doesn't really matter, but I've tried anywhere from 3-20 "swings" at a particular line and was wondering if there's a point when it stops making a difference.
-
At least on this first run, just drawing lines felt pretty rewarding. I saw a noticeable improvement from one side of the page to another, and every time all eight stayed close to the first felt awesome. I'm sure it won't always be this exciting, but for now it's pretty cool.
Thanks for setting this up!

One year later...
I realized upon coming back to this page that I used a totally different correction method than the one described - instead of "finishing" edges out to their vanishing points, I added arrows indicating how the corners need to move to make the box more accurate. If you think that would still be a beneficial exercise for me, let me know - for now I'm uploading as-is, since putting both annotation forms on the same pages would get pretty hard to interpret.
