Hello! Congrats on finishing your first lesson!
Lines: Your lines look pretty good, you have done very well with them! They're not very wobbly and I don't see a lot of fraying or arching. You do repeat your lines sometimes (especially in the organic perspective assignment), but I can see that it's rather rare.
Ellipses: Your ellipses look good, although you should try to make them touch each other and stay within the borders. I'm sure you could fit a lot more ellipses in your assignments that way! I also think that you have become more confident in drawing them as you have progressed through the exercises. Well done.
Boxes: Your boxes look good. You used the correction method right in the rough perspective assignment. Good job on the rotated boxes, they look really clean! You don't have to worry about the organic perspective assignment either, because you'll have plenty of time to practise perspective.
I think that's about it. There's no need for any revisions, but next time you submit your homework, make sure that each page is in the correct order. I personally find it much easier to check homework when it's organised properly. I'm sure whoever is going to be checking your next lesson (especially the 250 box challenge) will appreciate it too.
Next Steps:
Head onto the 250 Box Challenge! Good luck!

Thank you for reviewing my homework I will keep your feed back in mind while moving further!
Ellipse Master Template
This recommendation is really just for those of you who've reached lesson 6 and onwards.
I haven't found the actual brand you buy to matter much, so you may want to shop around. This one is a "master" template, which will give you a broad range of ellipse degrees and sizes (this one ranges between 0.25 inches and 1.5 inches), and is a good place to start. You may end up finding that this range limits the kinds of ellipses you draw, forcing you to work within those bounds, but it may still be worth it as full sets of ellipse guides can run you quite a bit more, simply due to the sizes and degrees that need to be covered.
No matter which brand of ellipse guide you decide to pick up, make sure they have little markings for the minor axes.
