Hi, I'll be critiquing your work.
LINES
Your superimposed lines look to be made confidently, with fraying only on one end. Good work.
It seems that you have prioritized making confident marks in your ghosted lines, with minimal arching, nice job.
ELLIPSES
I notice that your ellipses are looking a bit wobbly, I also see that they are escaping the bounds of the plane. Do take care to be patient, and take as much time as you need to ghost to create an ellipse.
I like that in your tables of ellipses you seem to have prioritized drawing more confident ellipses, however they are still escaping the bounds of the table.
The ellipses in your funnels appear to be aligned with the minor axis, good work. There are just a few cases where they escape the bounds.
BOXES
I noticed that the boxes at the end of the middle row in your rotated boxes page are not continuously rotating away, other than that small error, it looks good!
https://d15v304a6xpq4b.cloudfront.net/lesson_images/5f4fef59.jpg this is an example of the boxes rotated away correctly from the rotated boxes homework page.
It looks like you have correctly used the line correction method in your rough perspective work, however, I noticed some more wobbly lines.
In your organic perspective work I noticed a lot more arching in your lines, do remember to be patient, and take your time when ghosting before you confidently execute your mark.
Next Steps:
Make sure to do some ellipses in planes exercises with your next warmup.
250 box challenge, good luck!

Thanks!

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.
