Hello SHARAD! I'll be reviewing your home work.
LINES
All of your lines homeworks are pretty GOOD! some work can be done on super imposed curves.
ELLIPSE
Ellipse are good as well! in Ellipses in Plane Ex. don't worry about touching all the 4 sides cause sometimes it'll make ellipses little distorted.
BOXES
Plotted perspective Ex. are done beautifully!
Rough perspective Ex. there I can see you had a hard time but it'll get better with practice.
I can see your boxes are rotating in Rotated Box Ex. good work there!
Lastly Organic Perspective Ex. it's good that foreshortening is minimum and I can see that smaller are far and lager are near.
Next Steps:
1 page of Ellipses in plane (OPTIONAL)
2 page of Rough Perspective
1 page of Organic Perspective
Take your time and do these as good as you can ^-^

Indeed, very good work! I think that you are ready to advance, in fact.
Some small work yet to go on the perspective boxes, but this will come with time. Keep doing it from time to time to see your own progress.
As other mention, the best of your work is the confidence in the lines. I guess you are really doing it from the arm, not from the hand. If you want to go one step further on your lines, start playing to variations of the weight.
Have fun in lesson 2.

Have fun on lesson 2. Or with the rest of the 250 boxes :D.
The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something we've used ourselves, or know to be of impeccable quality. If you're interested, here is a full list.
Drawabox-Tested Fineliners (Pack of 10, $17.50 USD)
Let's be real here for a second: fineliners can get pricey. It varies from brand to brand, store to store, and country to country, but good fineliners like the Staedtler Pigment Liner (my personal brand favourite) can cost an arm and a leg. I remember finding them being sold individually at a Michael's for $4-$5 each. That's highway robbery right there.
Now, we're not a big company ourselves or anything, but we have been in a position to periodically import large batches of pens that we've sourced ourselves - using the wholesale route to keep costs down, and then to split the savings between getting pens to you for cheaper, and setting some aside to one day produce our own.
These pens are each hand-tested (on a little card we include in the package) to avoid sending out any duds (another problem with pens sold in stores). We also checked out a handful of different options before settling on this supplier - mainly looking for pens that were as close to the Staedtler Pigment Liner. If I'm being honest, I think these might even perform a little better, at least for our use case in this course.
We've also tested their longevity. We've found that if we're reasonably gentle with them, we can get through all of Lesson 1, and halfway through the box challenge. We actually had ScyllaStew test them while recording realtime videos of her working through the lesson work, which you can check out here, along with a variety of reviews of other brands.
Now, I will say this - we're only really in a position to make this an attractive offer for those in the continental United States (where we can offer shipping for free). We do ship internationally, but between the shipping prices and shipping times, it's probably not the best offer you can find - though this may depend. We also straight up can't ship to the UK, thanks to some fairly new restrictions they've put into place relating to their Brexit transition. I know that's a bummer - I'm Canadian myself - but hopefully one day we can expand things more meaningfully to the rest of the world.
Remember that when you agree with something another user has written, you are putting your own reputation behind it.
Consider the following:
- If it's homework feedback, does it address each section of the lesson/challenge, or only briefly touch upon one or two exercises?
- Does it provide clearly defined next steps for the student to follow?
- Have you read through it thoroughly, or are you simply agreeing so the student earns a superficial badge?
- Replies you agree with will be visible in your sketchbook
Agreeing blindly just to be nice is a good way to get your permissions associated with this function revoked, so make sure that you genuinely feel that the response is beneficial to the student.
