Thank you so much for taking the time to critique my homework! I definitely noticed I was plateauing with my initial Y's, so I will keep trying to push that in my warm-ups. In regards to the thick lines, I didn't thicken up any (just the Drawabox pens I'm using). I didn't think it would be necessary outlining the outer edges, but it would for sure be something I'll push for more moving forward, in order to help the silhouette of my forms.

Thanks again! (I see you have 2 reviewers on your 250 boxes challenge homework, of which I agree with both of them, so I'll keep a lookout for your future ones :) )

Line work is mostly solid in your homework, so good job! For the ellipses, be careful of them not hitting the frames (in the individual parallelograms), but it looks like you quickly improved on that in the second page of them. I love that you commit to your lines once you've put your pen to the paper - it's easy to tell that this helped you improve your line work moving forward (as seen in the boxes homeworks). Overall, I think you're definitely ready to move on. Good job!

Line work for the most part is pretty good. There is some wobble, but with future studies (especially if you go on with the 250 boxes challenge), this should tighten up. Ellipses are tightly looped for a lot of them, but there are a significant amount that have a wildness/wobble to them. Be careful of those (it may be because you notice that they aren't going to hit neighboring ellipses or the frame, so you try to compensate, or that you want to hit them, but as a result, they are wobbling).

For the rough perspective homework, you need to extend your depth lines back to the horizon line in a different color pen. This is to help you see how far off you may have estimated the vanishing point.

Overall, your method is fine (nothing out of the ordinary except the rough perspective) and you seem to have a pretty good grasp of the line work basics.

Looks like your lines are committed and controlled for the most part. There is a slight wobble to very few lines (might be because you want to hit the endpoint), but overall okay. Ellipses are tightly looped (though watch out for when it sometimes doesn't hit its neighboring ellipses or frame). Overall, you seem to have a pretty good grasp of line work basics.

You should be doing all the homework in ink (you can read Uncomfortable's reasoning https://drawabox.com/article/ink). This is to strongly help you in your line work and confidence, especially when moving forward. But I noticed that you weren't able to start in ink, so no worries. Just try redoing them in ink.

In terms on line work, there seems to be a scratchiness and/or wobbliness. When making your mark, ghosting will help you estimate what angle and how far you need to make your mark before making it. Once you've put your pen down to the paper, commit to it as best as you can. This way, you can see if you've over/under shot lines or marked them too high of angles, and moving forward, you will better know how you can adjust.

Your lines have a bit of wobble to them - this may be from low confidence in drawing your lines and/or trying to correct them to hit the end point before you've reached the end point. To improve, slowing down on ghosting may help (it helped me significantly). In addition, once you've put your pen down, commit to the stroke all the way till you've lifted your pen. In a way, this will help you see how you can improve on the next line (for example, if you overshot it, you can try stopping earlier. Or if your line ended above the end point, you can try angling it lower on your next try).

Your ellipses are quite loose and they don't touch each other or the frame or both sometimes. In terms of looseness, It seems like you realized the ellipse won't touch others/frame sides, so you may be trying to compensate on the second loop. Try ghosting more beforehand, ghost-touching the neighboring ellipses and the frame, before putting down your pen to make the ellipse. Again, once you've put your pen down, commit to it so that you can see how you can improve on your next attempt.

Your lines look confident for the most part. Sometimes they overshoot, but the 250 boxes challenge should help you tighten those up. Ellipses look pretty controlled as well. The symmetry of them may be something to be careful of (mostly seen in the funnels exercise) where if you fold the ellipses on their mid-line, the 2 halves don't quite line up.
