Hello, I'll take a look at your work. Your superimposed lines look good but be sure to properly allign the starting location each time. In some of your superimposed lines you attempt to adjust the trajectory but for the most part you resist the temptation so that's good. The planes also look good. Your ellipses are off to a good start as well. They're usually drawn with confidence which is always what you should first focus on. Sometimes they miss the edges so that should be the next area you try to improve. There are a few moments on the ellipses drawn onto your plane where your hand appears to waver. Focus on just moving the shoulder to avoid those wobbles. The funnels occasionally are shifted from the semiminor axis but otherwise good. The first perspective exercise looks good. I appreciate that you took your time with the hatch lines. Your rotated perspective does a good job of continuously turning, something that usually causes new artists trouble. Your organic perspective is good though don't be afraid to try more variation in size and longer lines.
All in all I think you did very well with this first assignment.
Next Steps:
At this point you should move onto the 250 box challenge.

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw
Right from when students hit the 50% rule early on in Lesson 0, they ask the same question - "What am I supposed to draw?"
It's not magic. We're made to think that when someone just whips off interesting things to draw, that they're gifted in a way that we are not. The problem isn't that we don't have ideas - it's that the ideas we have are so vague, they feel like nothing at all. In this course, we're going to look at how we can explore, pursue, and develop those fuzzy notions into something more concrete.
