Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate you taking the time out of your day to do it. I added the two extra pages of rough perspective you requested (and a page of rough perspective I forgot to include previously, oops!).
I can definitely see what you're saying about my parallels not following the horizon as they should. I'll keep it in mind that I need to implement ghosting as a technique and not just an exercise that's disregarded as soon as finished, I'm hoping it will eventually become second nature as long as I keep practicing. Quite often I can see the problem as soon as the line is done, I know it's "wrong". It's just getting it right on the first stroke of the pen that's posing some difficulties! I guess that's why working in pen is recommended; when you don't have the luxury of being able to erase and try again it pushes you to slow down and focus.

Hi Uncomfortable! I think this is really awesome of you to take time out of your day to do, thank you so much for doing it.
I started out these exercises probably a month ago and tried to take my time in digesting the material, I've never approached anything to do with perspective before and it was challenging to say the least! I had a lot of fun though I do feel I have a long, long way to go.
If you have time I'd love your input. When I've tried to learn to draw before I've found negativity eats away at me and I've been too afraid to ask for criticism, but the way you are on here with everyone has made me brave. Also I really want to improve, and I know one of the greatest ways to do that is feedback.
So here's my attempt at the lesson; https://imgur.com/a/BSFjM
(PS - I found the organic perspective a little tricky so I did some extra, I hope that's okay!)

Hi, I took rather a long time but finally completed this challenge as recommended after submitting the homework for lesson 1.
I do not feel great about how things turned out - looking at the pages in real life they seemed okay, but on the computer screen the mistakes and flaws seem very obvious. Do you think it's ok for me to move onto the next lesson?

I appreciate your time looking over this stuff, I know you hear that a lot but it still feels important to say... It's awesome that you're doing this. Thank you.
Edit: after reading through some other recent commenters' feedback I realised I started this challenge before the "draw through your boxes" tip. I'm going to do this now. :)
