Hi I took a look at your homework, and I don't think there is much to say here so I'm gonna be pretty short.
Overall it's very good, your lines are very clean and confident and the exercises were all well executed. Your ellipses look pretty good, they are not perfect but they are pretty good and they will keep on getting better with practice. I can see that you followed through the mouvement more than 2/3 times on some of thoses but that's ok since it's only on a few of these ellipses. Funnel exercise, again very good, the cross section goes right in the middle cutting those ellipses in half.
For the plotted perspective it's good but don't be lazy with the crosshatching (For exemple on the top boxes the crosshatching is good and then on the bottom ones I can feel you got bored and decided to wrap it up quickly, which is understandable, crosshatching can be pretty boring for most people) What I would say is see crosshatching as a way to reinforce your muscle memory, an opportunity to practice those straight lines, just like the rest, it's also good because you have to stay parallel or else it will look wanky which make you better at controlling the direction of your lines.
Rough perspective, nice projection of the lines, you got very close to the vanishing point on some of theses and your perspective check was well executed. However for the organic perspective I can tell on some of those boxes that rotating them is hard, but once you will do 250 boxes it should help you. Your lines are also very scratchy on this exercise, be sure to do your lines the same way you've been doing them since now, by ghosting your lines and then executing it in one single motion, and do not draw the same line multiple time or else they will look scratchy like here.
Next Steps:
So yeah pretty good homework, make sure to keep on doing these lines like you were doing since now, don't be lazy while doing crass hatching, you can always take a break if you are able to keep in mind which side you wanted to cross-hatch.
You can move on to the 250 boxes challenge, be sure to ask for feedback often, and to analyse your boxes from the last sitting before each sitting that way you know what to keep an eye out for. Also make sure to make different shape of boxes, you don't have to do cubes, the boxes can be elongated.
For warm up I suggest doing the plane exercice and do an ellipse in it, you can even divide that plane in 4 or 8 and do multiple ellipses in it. And of course keep on drawing for fun on the side and don't hesitate to post your art in the discord to sahre it with us. good luck on the 250 boxes !

thanks for the feedback!. I see now that i draw the same line over and over..i will pay atention... I am almost done with the 250 box challenge but I will try to apply your advice in the last ones even if it is. Thanks a lot.

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen
This is a remarkable little pen. Technically speaking, any brush pen of reasonable quality will do, but I'm especially fond of this one. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.
Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.
