No worries on the lines not being good – mileage will take care of that, and you are just at the start. Do try to fix the grinding habit, however. It’s not damaging to your work, so much as it’s a waste of your time. You’d much rather submit what you have, probably get a pass anyway, and make progress towards the next lessons. As mentioned, it’s mileage that will get you to improve, and though it’s fine to get that all at the start, by grinding endlessly, you can also get it organically, as you move on in the course, and reach the same level as someone else, while also being a lot further than them, because they spent all of that effort in one lesson. I hope this makes sense. Let’s take a look at your submission.

Starting with your superimposed lines, these look mostly good. They’re smooth, and properly lined up at the start, but not always of a consistent trajectory, I notice, so be mindful of that. Basically, it’s more important for us that our lines are smooth, and straight, than that they stick close to their guidelines. In other words, their confidence is more important to us than their accuracy. So, prioritize accordingly. Your ghosted lines/planes look good, and I’m pleased to see so many of them. I also notice that you’ve not forgotten to plot start/end points for the non-diagonal center lines of the planes, which is good, but sometimes they’re less points and more lines? Try not to rush these, please. Finally, automatic reinforcing is not a good habit, so if a line comes out wrong (this is perfectly fine, by the way!), resist the urge to correct it in a different stroke. And yes, this includes extending a line that stops short.

The table of ellipses exercise is alright. It does read, however, as you being a little too focused on accuracy, because your ellipses are a little wobbly, and more than a little deformed. It’s perfectly fine for them to not touch their frames, as well as to not fill them up as much as possible, provided they’re smooth, and rounded. The opposite, is not fine, because that’s prioritizing accuracy instead of confidence. Try, also, to add a little more variety to their degrees/angles, next time. It’s mostly the same ellipse over and over, here. The ellipses in planes show a good start, but here, too, you were a little too conscious of your frame. It’s helpful to think of it as a guideline, more than anything else. ‘Your ellipse should look roughly like this’ is all it says. But if the ellipse starts getting pointy, because it’s trying so hard to touch the 4 points of the plane, when it normally wouldn’t, that’s when it stops being a guide, and more of a hard rule, and that is something we don’t have a need for. Your funnels look mostly good, beyond that. Your lines here are a little thick, so you’re either pressing down on your pen too hard (sign of stiffness), or drawing through them too much, or both! Easy fixed, however, so no stress.

The plotted perspective exercise looks clean. Nice work on the lineweight, too (expect for those times when it’s not lineweight but rather automatic reinforcing; not nice work there! :P) The rough perspective exercise (for which you don’t need any hatching, by the way!), shows some good improvement throughout the set. By the end, your linework is confident, and your convergences mostly correct. You’ll want to keep pushing for them to be better, of course – you do this by checking and altering your points multiple times, before committing to them – but for where you are in the course, this is good work. Nice job on the rotated boxes exercise, also. It’s big, its boxes are snug, and they rotate fairly comfortably. They’re a little flat in the back, and their depth lines are not always correct, but that’s normal, and something that we get into in the box challenge. Speaking of boxes, the organic perspective exercise looks good. There’s a good flow to your boxes, due to their size, and foreshortening, and their construction is fairly solid, also. Consider this lesson complete.
