Hello, WASABAE !
Your work is great and here are my observations:
1-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.
2-Your ghosted lines are also good, confident, smooth, very accurate, don't arc much. Great!
3-In ghosted planes exercises you keep the good work with your lines, no remarks. Good job!
4-Your Ellipses exercise also shows effort: ellipses are smooth, planned, accurate, and you draw through them several times. Everything's in place.
5-Your Ellipses in planes exercises also turned out very nice.
6-Your funnels are perfect: smooth, accurate, aligned to minor axis ( a few don’t) but still great job!
7-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.
8- Your rough perspective exercise looks like it can use some improvement :- lines are wobbly , back faces are way off…
!!! The lines making the front and back faces of the box should be parallel and perpendicular to the horizon line..
Although you did improve on the second page but still could have done better..
!!!! I think you should redo this exercise…
9- !!! Your rotated boxes exercise also needs improvement : the boxes are just slightly rotated ,in fact the third box on either side isn’t rotated at all , corner boxes are a little off, . 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 during warmups , paying more attention to the back faces of the boxes and making sure that the boxes are rotated. Right now it looks like the boxes are too close to the viewer. !!!
10-In organic perspective exercise you do seem to grasp the concept although the boxes are a bit off.
!!!!! No need stress over the last two exercises
they are supposed to be hard and you’ll have a better grasp of them when you do the box challenge so make sure to revisit them during warmups …
!!! you should redo rough perspective exercises at least one page!!!
You can reply here if you have any questions or thoughts.
Keep up the good work and good luck!
Next Steps:
Rough perspective one more try!!

Thank you for all of your feedback. I tried to redo the rough perspective. It feels tricky for me since I wasn’t shown how to draw a square so all my lines going to the vanishing point aren’t all even leading to me making them crooked.

Hello WASABAE!
Good job with the revision!
The boxes are much better made and are converging better towards the vp than your last try.
Although they can be still be improved but I think you understand the main goal of the exercise!
All in all I think you are now clear for the 250 box challenge!
Make sure to do lesson 1 as warmups during the box challenge!!!!
Keep up the good work and good luck!
Next Steps:
Proceed to 250 box challenge!!

It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
Ellipse Master Template
This recommendation is really just for those of you who've reached lesson 6 and onwards.
I haven't found the actual brand you buy to matter much, so you may want to shop around. This one is a "master" template, which will give you a broad range of ellipse degrees and sizes (this one ranges between 0.25 inches and 1.5 inches), and is a good place to start. You may end up finding that this range limits the kinds of ellipses you draw, forcing you to work within those bounds, but it may still be worth it as full sets of ellipse guides can run you quite a bit more, simply due to the sizes and degrees that need to be covered.
No matter which brand of ellipse guide you decide to pick up, make sure they have little markings for the minor axes.
