Hello!
I'm Ignite, and I’ll be critiquing your submission using Elodin’s rubric. If a section has not been satisfactorily completed, I’ll request a re-work of a portion in order to help you understand the concept better. Here are my thoughts:
LINES:
1.Wobble in lines. In drawabox you should always prioritize confidence over accuracy:
You did this AMAZINGLY well for the superimposed lines... but didn't do it well for most of the rest of the exercises. For Ghosted Lines, Ghosted Planes, and even the boxes homework, it looks like almost every line connects one dot to another.... but wobbles along the way. What you should be aiming for is confidence first, then accuracy - so we should be seeing your lines NOT ending up at the second dot... but the line should be straight (ish). This is my biggest critique for every exercise you did.

2.Fraying on both ends: Pass!

3.Arching lines: Pass
4.Not plotting lines: Pass
5.Repeating lines: Pass
ELLIPSES:
1.Ellipses must be drawn through ellipses 2 to 3 times, (2 times preferably): Pass! Nice work.

2.On the ellipse tables, keeping the ellipses should be kept within the bounds, each
ellipse touching each other, without overlapping: Pass!
3.Just like with lines, the ellipses must be drawn confidently, prioritizing confidence and smoothness,
over accuracy. Even in ghosted planes with ellipses: Pass, but can be improved. I would definitely test out running some ellipses faster, to see if you can smooth things out. Some of yours look like you are overthinking the shape a little, and it is causing distortion.
4.On funnels, the minor axis (the line in the middle) should cut ellipses in 2 symetrical halves: Pass
BOXES:
2.On all the boxes exercises the student should draw through boxes, except on the organic perspective, in which it's optional: Pass!
3.On rough perspective, width lines should be parallel to horizon and height lines perpendicular to horizon: Some of your lines are a little off from perfectly parallel, but that's to be expected as you learn to estimate these things. It's not a graded criteria, just something to keep in mind.
4.On rough perspective, they must use the line correction method: Pass!
5.On rotated boxes, corners between boxes must be kept close: Pass!

6.On rotated boxes, some boxes aren't rotating: Pass!

8.Lineweight should be added with confident ghosted lines, and solely to the part of lines to overlap, not to whole lines: Pass!
Bottom Line: You worked very hard to complete all the exercises, and only missed one principle; however, it's one of the core concepts of the course: Draw your lines confidently first, THEN worry about accuracy - I am requesting a small revision to help you work on more confident lines.
Awesome job following the rest of the instructions carefully, and completing the lessons correctly. Keep up the great work!
Next Steps:
2 pages of Ghosted Lines, focusing on CONFIDENCE first, then accuracy. Work on removing the wobble from your line by drawing faster, from the shoulder, and worrying less about accuracy. If needed, re-read and/or re-watch the Lines lesson.
1 page of Ghosted Planes - Same thing, focusing on CONFIDENCE, then accuracy. Great work, looking forward to seeing your progress my friend.
