Hey there! I will be looking over your homework for today ^^
Congrats on making it through Lesson 1!
Your Lines are looking good. A bit of wobbling and fraying at the end is totally normal and nothing to worry about and I can already see you improving over time. Your planes are improving too, though in future, should you use this assignment as warm up, really try to fill the entire page with planes as shown here https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/11/example.
If you feel unsure with your line, take your time while ghosting. Ghost your line so long till you're confident you can place it in one swoop!
This goes especially for your ellipses. In general, they have a good shape, touching all of the corners of the planes, but they are extremely wobbly. Like you intentionally drew them slowly to reach all of the edges. The goal of this exercise however is to learn how to place confident lines, so again, ghost them several times. However much you need and then place it. Remember that you should draw through it a maximum of three times. Two times would be better. You can try to draw through only two times, maybe it'll help improve.
Your boxes look good to me. The most important thing are the lines, which you're working and improving on. If you want to shade a plane of your box, don't sribble it in. It simple doesn't look good and makes your work feel sloppy and like you didn't put much care or thought into it. Instead, try the hatching method describe here https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/15/step8. Uncomfortable mentions it as well, to choose the plane of the box that faces the viewer, whereas you 'hatched' the plane that won't be visible to the viewer without x-ray vision anyway.
About the Rotated Boxes assignment: You seemed to have a lot of issues with the perspective part of the assignment. Don't worry about it too much, since you will be practising Boxes in the 250 Boxes challenge anyway. Just to point you into the right direction though: For the boxes in the upper rows you apparently forgot which vanishing point to use. Your horizontal lines will always be vanishing towards the horizon line, where the imaginary VPs are. You can also always check Uncomfortable's example or check with other student's completed homework if you're unsure!
Before sending you off, I'd like for you to do another page of the Table of Ellipses. Believe me when I say you will need them in the future. Really try to place them confidently and draw them at a maximum of three lines, aiming for two lines.
Don't forget to answer on this with another imgur link so I can check it out and mark you as completed!
