Hi Ivory and welcome to drawabox! I recommend using photos instead of scanning with your phone from now on, as it makes some lines a bit harder to see. Overall you've done a good attempt, but there are a few issues I want to cover so you can keep improving, let's go!:
Starting with your lines you're doing a great job and keeping them confident both on superimposed lines and on the ghosted lines. One thing I can see is that your lines on the longer superimposed lines get a bit wobbly, so make sure you're using your shoulder when drawing them and that you focus on making the lines straight and confident like on the others.
Another thing is that on the ghosted planes there are some lines in which you haven't drawn the starting and ending dots before drawing them. Don't forget to do this before drawing any line, as it's very important for applying the ghosting method correctly.
Don't forget to also draw the horizontal lines on the ghosted planes. Take a look at the example homework and then look back at your planes and you'll understand what I'm saying.
Moving onto your ellipses, you're doing a great job at keeping them confident and smooth overall. You started by drawing through them several times, but you ended up keeping it to 2 times by the time you got to the funnels exercise, so keep going like that!
On funnels don't forget to try to allign the ellipses to the minor axis. The minor axis should cut every ellipse in 2 identical halves always. If the initial curves are off then try to ignore them.
Lastly on your boxes you're making a good attempt, but a few things I want to say:
-In general your lines here tend to be a bit more wobbly than on the previous exercises. When you approach each line, try to think of them as a singular ghost lines exercise, forget that the lines are part of a box.
-On rough perspective some of the vertical and horizontal lines are a bit tilted. On this exercise, all height lines will always be perpendicular to the horizon line and all width lines will be parallel to the horizon line.
One thing that can help is to make sure the lines have this relationship before drawing them, and if they don't have it then you can redraw the initial and ending dots as much as you want until you think it's correct. Doing it should make you get better results.
-On rotated boxes other than the issues I already mentioned you've done a pretty good attempt! Only thing is that some of the boxes you drew weren't close together , so try to keep an eye on it on future attempts.
-On organic perspective the perspective of the boxes is a bit off, but this isn't a problem as you'll work on it throughout the box challenge. The main thing here is that I think you aren't planning all of your lines. Before drawing any line, no matter how small it is, you should start by drawing the starting and ending points. Otherwise you won't be able to apply the ghosting method properly.
-Other thing is that you sometimes repeat lines that were off. If you miss a line, leave it be and go to the next. Repeating it will only make the drawing look messier and encourage bad habits.
Overall I think you have a good grasp of the concepts of the lesson even if you got a bit overwhelmed on the boxes section, so I want to mark this as complete. But before I do that I want to see the ghosted planes with ellipses exercise that you didn't post. So make a reply with it and we'll keep going!
Next Steps:
