    Super imposed lines: I can see that you have performed the exercises according to the instructions and thats really awesome. there was some wobblines in the first page and some curvy lines in the longest lines of the first page but they have been reduced in the next page and thats great. You have also restricted fraying of the line on the starting end, overall you have done a very good job. there is some fraying in the lines but they will be greatly reduced in as you do this exercises during warm ups so thats not something to worry about. I will also like to praise you for noticing the purpose of this exercise and to gave drawn confidently.

    Ghosted lines: You have done a good job in this exercise, the lines are accurate and smooth. There is some wobbliness here and there so i would suggest you to draw them with fully confidence and rely on you muscle memory to do the job and not priorotize accuracy,confidence is the key in this exercise. Overall its a job well done.

    Ghosted planes: You significantly reduced the wobbliness and the lines are smoother. In some cases the lines feel like they have been turned rather than flow in one single direction like in the top right corner of the first page, if thats the case then I would suggest to not stop in the middle of the line to turn the direction, going with full confidence will provide even more results in the long run and even if you think that line will not be accurate then thats no reason to worry halfway through the line cause thats fine, maybe I am saying it too many times but still, confidence is the key.

    table of ellipses: The ellipses are smooth and you have executed them nicely, They fit inside the boundaries well, and you have drawn over them 2 - 3 times as well. The ellipses are varied and you have tried to keep the degree of the ellipses same in a row and thats great as well. Overall, you have done the exercise pretty well.

    Ellipses in planes: This exercise has come out well, some of them arent accurate but you have tried to allign them and thats good, the ellipses are jaggy, so I would once again suggest you to go at it with confidence more that aiming for accuracy, but its still as it would improve as you do them as warmups.

    Funnels: In some places the ellipses arent quire alligned to the minor axis. You have done them cofidently and have tried to keep the degree of the ellipses in check as well. Overall, goodjob just keep in mind that you have to align the ellipses to the minor axis.

    Rough Perspective: The edges of the box arent reaching the vanishing point in majority of the cases so I would suggest that, after thinking of where the line should be, you should rethink it again and see if it really matched the vp, you can even turn the page to make it easire to visualize. Its not that of a big reason to worry as you will get tons of practive for that in the 250 box challenge. As mentioned before the lines are a little wobbly and you can reduce that by focusing on confidence,

    Rotated boxes: You should try to keep the corners a little closer. Another thing is that, the faces which we cant see, the ones which are behind the faces which we can see arent actually rotated. Just like the faces in the front getting converged the faces which we cant see should also be rotated and converged properly. Dont beat yourself for this exercises as this exercise is supposed to be tough and mistakes are normal. Just keep in mind what i said and think about it a little.

    Organic boxes: The organix boxes has been done well, you should probably have added more overlapping boxes and some line weight to the specific regions of the edges of the boxes which are overlapping the boxes which are behind. You will get tons of practive on 250 box challenge so dont worry much about the perspective on some boxes being wrong, thats completely fine.

    I skipped critiquing plotted perspective becuase you have done that well, and there wasnt anything to point out.

    If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

    Thank you,

    Next Steps:

    Move onto the 250 box challenge, and keep doing some of these exercises as warmups.

    lines: I sometimes forget to start from the same starting point and i will make sure to start from the same point when I do the warmups.

    Planes: i realized after I finished that my planes were smaller than they shoulde, I will try going for bigger planes when I do the warmups. I had a hard time with ellipses and I sometimes I used to go over them for more than 3 times when i forget I am only allowed to go over them for 2-3 times only and thank you for pointing out that my ellipses were a little rough, will go at ellipses with a little more speed when I do warmups.

    Boxes: I forgot about the 90 degree rule I guess will make sure not to forget that when I do the 250 boxes challenge.

    I am very grateful for the critique, thank you very much! it is very helpful.

    ghosted lines and planes: there are a some wobbliness in your lines and I feel you are not executing your lines with confidence and you are concerned more about the accuracy. I can see that some of the lines in the ghosted planes are really smooth, crisp and accurate, thats super cool. Just be try to be more confident with your lines during your warm ups.

    ellipses in planes: Ellipses are defirmed but they are touching the sides of the plane so just keep doing ellipses in planes as warmups and you will improve

    rotated boxes: i think that the boxes are not rotated as explained in the homework, the boxes when rotated should converge to different vanishing points. You probably should do this exercise once again to get a better idea.

    organic perspective: some lines are diverging and some lines are parallel, but you will learn more about this during the 250 box so there is no need to worry about it.

    overall I would say you have done a great job, i can see your lines getting better through out the exersices.

    Thank you,

    EDIT: The revisions I requested was "do the rotated boxes once again to gain better understanding about space and rotation of boxes." (by mistake i clicked the submit button before I finished writing the request, so please forgive me for that.

    Next Steps:

    Do the ritated bkxes one more time and you will surely have gain
