This is all the homework assignments for Lesson 1, which I just completed today. Please critique and let me know if I am ready to move on to 250 Boxes challenge based on what you see here.

In the superimposed lines some lines look nice and confident. Some have bends It looks like you drew some of them very slowly.https://d15v304a6xpq4b.cloudfront.net/lesson_images/5bcda336.jpg It looks like the top line in the link. You should be drawing this line with speed. Be it curved or straight. You should ghost the motion of the line until you are confident with the motion. After this place your fineliner on the start of the line and speedily draw the line commiting to this motion. Do not draw it in slowly. Do it with speed.
Some of the ghosted lines dont stay on a straight path. Apply the method above, plot, ghost and speedilt draw. Lines of the hosted planes look better, a number are good.
Ellipses
The ellipses of the ghosted planes seem to have been drawn very slowly trying to make them touch all the corners. You should be ghosting ellipse where you want to place it. Then once confident with the motion, put pen to paper and execute the motion. Don't draw your ellipses slowly.
I will ask for revision, A page of ellipses, freely drawn on a page. Random sizes all touching but not overlapping. Ghost them and draw them with speed, Do not draw them slowly. Ghost them where you want to place them and then execute them with speed.
Thank you for your time in reviewing this. Your words were very insightful to what I was doing on those homework assignments. Expect a reply, with revision, by Wednesday or Thursday late afternoon PST.
Edit: P.S. For the page of ellipses, are they to be drawn as a new table of ellipses?
Sorry for the late reply, got flooded with schoolwork, I mean the ellipses on a blank page not in a table. Just a page filled with ellipses touching, drawn randomly. Like a pool table with balls but all different sizes.

With how saturated the market is, it is tough for such projects to get eyes on their work.
By providing this section, we hope to help with that.

When it comes to technical drawing, there's no one better than Scott Robertson. I regularly use this book as a reference when eyeballing my perspective just won't cut it anymore. Need to figure out exactly how to rotate an object in 3D space? How to project a shape in perspective? Look no further.

Mark Feedback as Unhelpful
If you feel that feedback you've received from a user has been unhelpful - maybe it was just an empty platitude, or perhaps it was especially low-effort, then you can have it marked as being "unhelpful", and your submission will be returned to the queue so you can potentially receive more useful feedback from others.
It will also report the post to the moderators, so the user can be directed on how to provide more helpful critiques in the future.
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.
Part One: The Basics
An overview of basic skills - both technical and conceptual - with exercises that you will incorporate into your regular warmups for a long time to come. No matter how skilled or experienced you are, start at Lesson 0.
Challenges and Drills
A series of drills that fit into the lessons at various times. These should not all be completed after lesson 2, but rather will be listed as recommended next steps or prerequisites as you follow the numbered lessons in order.
Part Two: Constructional Drawing
An exploration of how complex objects can be broken down into their fundamental components, then rebuilt from simple forms. We look at this concept of constructional drawing by applying it to many different topics - the focus is not on learning how to draw that specific subject matter, but rather to tackle construction from different perspectives.
