FEEDBACK

Week 2: The sketch is ok but avoid using texture brushes next time.

Week 3: There are distortion on the wheels, adjust it. Paste the references beside the drawings. Need to show perspective lines.

Week 4: The car is a little bit stretched but overall it’s ok.

Week 7: The perspective of the plane is incorrect. Can draw X on the square the find the middle of the perspective lines.

REFLECTION

Through these exercises, I have become more proficient in mastering perspective drawing. The teacher taught many useful tips, such as how to locate the midpoint when drawing perspective. In addition, I also learned how to draw circles in perspective and became more skilled at handling the values of objects. These exercises and the teacher's feedback have been incredibly beneficial to me.
