after drawing each line once, I continued over them going in the opposite direction too. I noticed I'm a lot more wobbly going from the right to the left.

Feeling a bit uncertain on this one so feedback would be super welcome!
Lantern Rite, by Christina Ji
D: Much - the lanterns and edges of the building get smaller as they go up and away from us. This has also been done to some degree with the clouds
C: Some - I can see converging lines along the wooden beams sticking out of the ceilings and also some along the various lanterns. I feel like this really brings out the effect of the lanterns going up and above the viewer, far out into the sky.
F: some - the beams along the bottom ceiling seem to foreshorten as they are turned to face us (closer to the right side of the screen). I can also see this effect in the tiles just above those beams.
O: much - the roofs overlap various parts of the building frequently. There are also lanterns overlapping the building as well as being overlapped by the building.
A: Much - there is lots of atmospheric fading especially towards the right side of the artwork and also at the edge of the clouds before the building overlaps it. The lanterns that are furthest away also seem to be faded into the background. The atmosphere is actually the perspective trick that I like the most in this artwork.

D: some - Pigeons in the front are larger than pigeons towards the back of the scene. Can also see some diminution with the builidings, both in the sizes of the front vs back buildings as well as the size of details on the buildings e.g average window sizes smaller towards back of frame.
C: some - Cross contour lines on buildings towards right converging towards the left. All buildings seem to be converging up towards the sky. Feels like there may also be some covering lines on spidey’s body (e.g. his left arm) but I think that has more to do with the angle of the elipses’ contouring his arm changing as they move away from us.
F: some - Can see foreshortening on his fingers and leg as they move away from us.
O: much - spidey overlaps web and buildings. Web overlaps pigeon. Other pigeons also overlap buildings. Buildings overlap one another.
A: some - a fair bit of atmosphere in the buildings in the back, but also some on the pigeons as a few of the pigeons blend into the background of the scene.

Here are some isometric drawings I made! I wanted to focus on getting my lines to travel the same way and to look neat on paper. At first I was just putting down simple lines but then I realised I wanted to add a little bit of shading to make it clearer which way the faces of my objects were facing. So far I've just copied isometric illusions I have found online and in doing so I feel I have gotten much better at using my straight and triangular rulers. Now I want to start experimenting with my own illusions and hopefully submit them too!
