Hello LUIKINHO. Good job on finishing your first homework.
Lines
On the first page of your 'Superimposed Lines', there are fraying on both ends in your lines which shows that you started quickly without planning your lines. Also, the lines are wobbly. But in the second you made more confident and less wobbly lines while planning before starting since there is less fraying at the beginning. I can see an improvement on your lines as they get more confident and less wobbly in the 'Ghosted Lines' and your 'Ghosted Planes'. By the time you get to the boxes, your lines look much better. However, there are still some arching and wobble in your lines. My advice for you is to try being more confident by drawing fast and from your shoulder (if you are not already doing it). Going fast prevents your brain to get in the way of drawing and by drawing from your shoulder you can get a wider range of movement that helps getting rid of arching lines. Confident and straight lines are more important than accuracy. You can gain accuracy with more practice. For now, don't worry about overshooting your lines as long as your lines are straight. And work on your accuracy as you keep doing these exercises as your warmups.
Ellipses
I like your ellipses, especially on the second page of the 'Ellipses in Planes' and 'Tables of Ellipses'. They were drawn through at least 2 or 3 times, they look confident, evenly shaped, and they are sitting snugly in their allotted spaces.
However, in your 'Funnels' some ellipses are less smooth and less confident. Don't focus on accuracy too much for now since it affects the smoothness of your ellipses. As you become more confident, you can work on your accuracy as well. Other than that, your funnels look good, the minor axis cut the ellipses in two halves, and this is great.
Boxes
In 'Rough Perspective' it is good that you paid attention to the horizontal and vertical lines as most of the horizontal lines are parallel to the horizon and vertical lines are perpendicular to the horizon. As for the correction lines, they are not very visible, maybe it is because of the color of your pen, but from what I can see they miss the vanishing point quite a bit sometimes. Did you use the ghosting method here as well? Also, there are still some arching on the lines. If you tend to draw arching lines, you can try arching consciously in the opposite direction also don't forget to draw from your shoulder. I also see some unfinished boxes. Try to finish what you started even if you know it won't turn out well.
In the 'Rotated Boxes' the gaps between the boxes should be kept consistent and close. This way you can use the neighboring edges to figure out the angles of your new box's edges. This explains how to figure out your new edges by using the already existing ones. Also, some boxes not rotating. You should check this explanation. I suggest you reread the homework material for 'Rotated Boxes' and watch the youtube video where Uncomfortable demonstrates how to do it.
Your 'Organic Perspective' seems good. On the first page, the boxes that should be closer to us could be bigger but you already drew them much bigger and better on the second page so good job. There are few perspective issues but once you get to the 250 box challenge you can work on those problems.
Next Steps:
Before going to the 250 Box challenge, I would like you to do one more page of Rotated Boxes. But don't forget to read the lesson material beforehand.
hello! sorry it took a while, i had school exams last week so i barely had time to draw, so here we go : Extra rotated boxes https://imgur.com/gallery/ONPqHY9
i took my time reading the exercise and watched the video
it's still ugly but this time i knew what i was doing(most of the time) i had a few problems building some boxes but i tried to finish all of them this time
i made some of the boxes too big and ended up creating more problems
i managed to learn a lot with this tho
thank you.
I am glad you finished it. It doesn't matter how long did it take as long as you keep doing it, so good job! Also, I am happy to see that this new page helped you understand the exercise better. I just realized one of the links I gave you in my review wasn't working. I am sorry. I am going to add it here one more time. Uncomfortable's explanation will help you figure out how to layout your boxes and how to use the neighboring lines to draw your new box's edges. You can try drawing horizontal boxes first and then the vertical boxes. Then you can use those existing boxes to figure out where will your new boxes going to be. Don't forget to keep an equal and small distance between every box. This way your drawings will appear more clean and accurate. Also, I suggest not to draw through your lines. If one line doesn't go the way you like it, don't try to fix it. It will only make your drawing messier. I like how you made a better rotation this time. It is a good improvement. You can start the 250 Box Challenge now. Just don't forget to include Lesson 1 homework in your warm-ups. Good Luck! :)

You can start 250 Box Challenge now.
Thanks a lot my fellow illustrator , that extra page really helped understand the exercise, time to get going :D
Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.
Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
