Hey there! I will be looking over your homework today ^^ Congrats on making it through Lesson 1!
Looking over your assignments, I'm fairly sure you're not a complete beginner, so I'm glad you still want to go over the basics with Draw a Box haha
In total, there's really not much to point out in your works. Your lines are confident and straight-forward with little wobbling. On the Superimposed Lines I noticed you have a bit trouble with fraying on the arching and wavy lines. You can add that to your Warm Up if you want to work on it a bit more. In general it's totally fine to have it fraying in the beginning.
Your Ellipses are also great. Very confident line-placing and little wobbling. One thing to keep an eye on here is that we only draw through our ellipses at a MAXIMUM of three times, whereas I see you drawing through them five times in some. So again: Maximum of three times, aiming for only two times.
In the boxes assignment the most important thing were the lines and introducing the student slowly to perspective. It wasn't really the most important thing but you seem to already have a good grasp on perspective and how vanishing points and so on work. Which is also fairly visible in the Rotated Boxes assignment.
Since it's an integral part of Draw a Box and you do have the chance to work on a thing or two on it as well, I still want to send you directly to the 250 Box Challenge. I wish you all the best with it!
Warmly,
Lerin

Dear Lerin,
Thank you very much for your feedback! It was very helpful and you have emphasized the things I really need to work on.
Warmly,

While I have a massive library of non-instructional art books I've collected over the years, there's only a handful that are actually important to me. This is one of them - so much so that I jammed my copy into my overstuffed backpack when flying back from my parents' house just so I could have it at my apartment. My back's been sore for a week.
The reason I hold this book in such high esteem is because of how it puts the relatively new field of game art into perspective, showing how concept art really just started off as crude sketches intended to communicate ideas to storytellers, designers and 3D modelers. How all of this focus on beautiful illustrations is really secondary to the core of a concept artist's job. A real eye-opener.
