This is a much better try! The corner boxes are a little bit closer to the viewer than they should be, but not much. Great job!
You can go to 250 box challenge now, good luck!

Hi!
It's great you didn't use the pencil, a little bit of marks after ghosting is ok!
I think it would be great to redo rotated boxes, trying to keep the distances consistent and narrow.
Your English is perfectly understandable for me, it's also not my native :)

Hello, Haider4123!
Your work is great and here are my observations:
Your superimposed lines exercise looks great: the lines are smooth, confident. They don't fray at both ends, you did 2 pages and the lengths are different. You did all that you were asked, good job.
Your ghosted lines are also good, confident, smooth, very accurate, don't arc much. Great!
In ghosted planes exercises you keep the good work with your lines, no remarks. Good job!
Your Ellipses exercise also shows effort: ellipses are smooth, planned, accurate, and you draw through them several times. Everything's in place.
Your Ellipses in planes exercises also turned out very nice, although one of the pages has some drawing covering some of the planes. Nevertheless, I think what you showed is enough to understand that you completed the main goal of this exercise.
Your funnels are perfect: smooth, accurate, aligned to minor axis - great!
In your plotted perspective exercise all the lines are drawn correctly, except one of the boxes in the upper plane clearly has not ideal vertical lines. It is not a mistake though (because we use ruler there), just an observation.
Your rough perspective exercise looks nice: line work is perfect, I see quite an improvement with the lines converging to the VP on the second page. Good job.
!!! Your rotated boxes exercise is mostly decent: you rotate the boxes nicely, the lines are confident and smooth. But the corner boxes are a little off, because your boxes are not that drastically rotated, we should see the front face at least a little. Also the back faces are very off: https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/17/guessing , they need to be tighter, just as front faces. Unfortunately, I added this 9th remark of mine later, cause I forgot to look at this exercise. It would actually be nice to redo this exercise, paying more attention to the back faces of the boxes. Right now it looks like one boxes are much shorter than the other. !!!
In organic perspective exercise it seems to me that you made your lines in pencil first and then erased it? If I am wrong, please forgive me, if I am right, don't do that. The purpose of these exercises (all of them) is that you try to force yourself to really think about your lines a lot, to plan them, and only then to draw them. That's why we don't use pencils and other erasable materials. Again if I am wrong, didn't mean any bad, sincerely sorry.
All in all, I think you are clear to proceed to the 250 box challenge.
!!!after you redo rotated boxes!!!
But I have a small remark regarding photos: if I don't see the number of the page, it's really difficult to understand if you made a progress (like I don't know which is Ellipses-1 and which is Ellipses-2). Try to put the number on the page and take a photo in such a way, so that the person reviewing your work can see the number (in Rough Perspective-1 for example I can barely see it ).
You can reply here if you have any questions or thoughts.
Keep up the good work and good luck!

250 box challenge will the great next step for you!
Hello!
Sorry for not responding sooner, only saw your message.
No, for rough perspective exercise you are supposed to use ruler only for the "horizon". Everything else must be made freehand. It's hard, even if you ghost a lot sometimes, but, after 250 box challenge I bet your eye balling will get significantly better, and you will feel more confident later. And even then you will make mistakes, it's life :)
If we are talking about plotted perspective exercise however, you need a ruler for every line. Just in case.
You don't have to re-do exercises though, as you will have warm-ups with these exercises at the beginning of exercises in further lessons.
Good luck!
I think you did a very good job
Your superimposed and ghosted lines look confident, smooth and very accurate.
Your ellipses look smooth and confident, I see that put effort in and drawing them through several times. But Also I see some circles that don't touch, and though they are pretty, that was not the goal of exercise. But I nevertheless see, that you grasped the idea in other places, ellipses touch the boundaries of the box and other ellipses quite nicely.
Your funnels are also good in terms of confident lines, drawing ellipses through. But two of them have ellipses that are alittle bit not aligned (https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/14/notaligned) especially 2 bottom ones in the center. Other funnels are sweet, I see you understand the concept.
In a plotted perspective exercise the boxes are drawn correctly and clearly. Though some of the boxes in the bottom have clearly not vertical lines as edges, that are supposed to be vertical. This is not a mistake, rather an observation. Maybe try to get a ruler with some vertical and horizontal marks on it. Or don't, this is nothing serious.
In rough perspective exercise your lines are nice, confident, smooth. I see progress in terms of finding the right direction of lines, they are clearly moving towards the VP closer on the second page overall. But first I noticed again that the lines that are supposed to be vertical are sometimes really not vertical on the second page in the top 2 frames. Making them vertical should be a priority in this exercise, because it sets the whole scene off. And second, I don't understand your question marks, do you have question about this exercise? If yes, feel free to leave a comment here, and I will try to answer.
Both pages of rotated boxes exercise are good: you really rotate the boxes in all directions (except for the bottom row in the first page, but maybe it's just too small to see https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/17/notrotating), distances between boxes are kept nice and narrow, you drew through your boxes, and, in addition, they are really pretty to look at!
Your rough perspective exercise is also done fine, boxes are floating, becoming smaller as they go further, there is no dramatic foreshortening. These are all good things.
Next Steps:
I think you are clear to move on to 250 box challenge https://drawabox.com/lesson/250boxes, because you understood the main ideas of the lectures and exercises and demonstrated nice, hard work in your exercises.
Thank you very much!
Going towards the box challenge then!
These are my favourite sketchbooks, hands down. Move aside Moleskine, you overpriced gimmick. These sketchbooks are made by entertainment industry professionals down in Los Angeles, with concept artists in mind. They have a wide variety of sketchbooks, such as toned sketchbooks that let you work both towards light and towards dark values, as well as books where every second sheet is a semitransparent vellum.
