The progress on your homework looks promising! You seem to be good at drawing the elllipses, but your boxes could use some work.
Lines
The first pages of lines look fine, just try to have more consistent strokes to avoid fraying in the future. It's evident on the second page. The ghosted lines are solid.
Ellipses
The ellipses are well rounded and most of them touch the edges in the planes, funnels, and table exercises. Good job! However, there should be another line down the planes (see page 4,5,8, and 9). This ensures your elipses hit all the points.
Boxes
The boxes in the organic perspective exercise are a bit chaotic. The line they're on is too heavy in regards to line weight. The boxes themselves have nice rotation and size variation, but some of the lineups are confusing (e.g. the first section on the first page where three boxes overlap each other). The rest of box exercises are clean.
Keep it up!
Next Steps:
Do one page of the ellipses in the planes exercise. Don't forget to add the 3rd line down the middle of the "x". Do another page of the organic perspective boxes. Then you're all set for the 250 box challenge.
Hey! Thank you for taking your time and giving me a helpful feedback.
I've done the exercises you recommended, hopefully I did a better job this time. Cheers!

Hi! These are great! The ellipses and boxes have appealing angles and perspectives. Just be aware of tangents. That's when two edges or points touch each other awkwardly (see the boxes in the 3rd section of the page. It's better to overlap the forms as you did in the 2nd section (see the closest boxes to the right).
Next Steps:
Nice work! Move on to the 250 box challenge.
This recommendation is really just for those of you who've reached lesson 6 and onwards.
I haven't found the actual brand you buy to matter much, so you may want to shop around. This one is a "master" template, which will give you a broad range of ellipse degrees and sizes (this one ranges between 0.25 inches and 1.5 inches), and is a good place to start. You may end up finding that this range limits the kinds of ellipses you draw, forcing you to work within those bounds, but it may still be worth it as full sets of ellipse guides can run you quite a bit more, simply due to the sizes and degrees that need to be covered.
No matter which brand of ellipse guide you decide to pick up, make sure they have little markings for the minor axes.
