Hello Prashant996, Ill be critiquing your homework so lets start.
Superimposed lines: they are good, line fray only on one side and don't curve too much. Same goes for teh curves
Ghosted lines: very confident, clean and mostly straight, nothing wrong to point out. Good job
Ghosted planes: same as the ghosted lines, they are good
Table of ellipses: ellipses are confident, but you tend to stretch them so they touch all the edges, making them look miss shaped. They are acceptable but keep practicing them
Ellipses in planes: here you have the same problem, but much less then in the tables.
Funnels: most are fine, but there are some ellipses that miss the minor axis
Plloted perspective: not much to say here, its fine
Rough perspective: its correct, but keep in mind that the lines that dont go into the VP should be completly horizontal/vertical (keep that in mind when doing 250 boxes). Also its better if you stop the red lines on the horizon line so that they dont cross over. Not much of a problem just an fyi
Organic perspective: correct, the cubes become bigger as they come closer in an organic matter. Most boxes are also good but there are some that are totally broken but again you'll get the hang of it with the 250 box challenge
Rotated boxes: this one is very good, almost perfect. Great job
Next Steps:
Congrats, your work is very good and I mark this lesson as complete. Your next step should be the 250 box challenge. Don't forget to do a warm up before every session and aslo the 50% rule.
See ya in the following lessons!

good work! especially on the plotted perspective and the rotates boxes. I struggle with those. what did you think of them?
The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
Faber Castell PITT Artist Pens
Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.
Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
