Although right this moment I never want to draw a cube again, this was a good assignment. Since I was drawing a lot of the same thing, it gave me the opportunity to try different things. What happens if I hold my pen this way? What happens if I don't ghost? What is the difference between starting with the Y and starting the way I used to with the cube face? What about pushing v. pulling the pen? Because of this, I see my quality overall ebbing and flowing as I try different things that worked better than others. But overall, I feel like my mental image of the perspective improved. I didn't do line weights, as that seemed optional, and isn't generally my struggle. I can go back and add them if necessary.
Also, the number goes back and forth a bit as I have a sketch pad I take on the road (small one) for work, and the larger one I leave at home. It's more or less in order, though.

Ok! On it. Thanks for the feedback! The poor hatched lines were actually the first attempt. I posted out of order. I went through the homework once, saw others examples and realized I was rushing things and went back and tried again. It helped.
I'll do the 250 box challenge and all your other recommendations. You are a god among humans!

Thank you. What you are doing is amazing. I've always wanted to do this, and starting something like this at 40 is daunting at best. I'm already learning quite a bit. If nothing else, it's become a form of great daily meditation.
eta: I redid several of the homework assignments about a week after I started. Some I posted both. I'm really happy to see that I got better just in that week!

I'm going to go back and do that. For some reason, I was convinced we were told NOT to do that here... woops. Sorry. I teach and get so frustrated when people don't follow instructions. I apologize for being that student.
So, next is Curves Lesson #2 for me, yes?
