Thanks for the patience I will be reviewing your hw. Right away I can say you don't have to post the pics in a word doc. It's probably better to submit the photos as is on imgur so we can see the whole image clearly and not have it be shrunk.
Superimposed Lines: There is some fraying at both ends, sometimes in the middle, but as far as I can tell there are no wobbly lines at all.
Ghosted lines: The main thing I see here is not only are lines not meeting up wiht their desginated dots, there is a quiet a bit of arching of the lines here too. Most likely due to not ghosting the lines beforeheand.
Ghosted Planes: It seems there is a lot less of the issues from before though still a bit of wobblness and not fully connecitng lines from one point to another.
Table of Elipses: I think overall you show a clear understanding here of the directions. Well done on this.
Elipses in a Plane: Altough a few break out of boundries or don't quiet touch all edges, you did draw through them and I feel what can be done to improve is a little more warmup of the shoulder to fix the small issues seen here.
Funnels: I feel here you show a clear understanding of the lesson. Well done.
Ploted persepctive: Nothing here that looks off so well done.
Rough Perspective: Although some of your boxes are a little wonky looking, the red lines don't go to the dot that is the vanishing point. Excellent.
Rotated boxes: A few of them definitly came out not quiet the same size as the others but overall I feel you passed this part.
Organice perspective: A few oddly shapped boxes but overall I feel you got what the lesson was teaching you. Good work.
Next Steps:
Okay I feel the things you should do a little more is ghosting, planning, and warming up. I feel if you do that some of the things I noticed will either be much less or disapear. I think at least with perspecitve and rotated boxes you are ready so just make sure with the challange coming up your boxes all have the lines connecting and are not as wonky looking. For the challange it's best to take your time, not rush, and not give up. Good luck with the 250 box challange.

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.
The Art of Blizzard Entertainment
While I have a massive library of non-instructional art books I've collected over the years, there's only a handful that are actually important to me. This is one of them - so much so that I jammed my copy into my overstuffed backpack when flying back from my parents' house just so I could have it at my apartment. My back's been sore for a week.
The reason I hold this book in such high esteem is because of how it puts the relatively new field of game art into perspective, showing how concept art really just started off as crude sketches intended to communicate ideas to storytellers, designers and 3D modelers. How all of this focus on beautiful illustrations is really secondary to the core of a concept artist's job. A real eye-opener.
