Hi,
Overall I would say you did okay, I really liked your ellipses, however you do need to improve on drawing straight lines and attempt to use foreshortening. . For the organic perspective exercise, most of the lines are going parallel or even diverging out. I would say have one more attempt and then move on to 250 box challenge.
Next Steps:
2 filled pages of the Organic Box exercise.

Hi,
Thank you for the critique. I have done the work as asked.
Here is the link to my second attempt at the organic perspective exercise, https://imgur.com/a/Igvai5v

Hi,
Well done, I can see the improvement! I would recommend proceeding with 250 box challenge.
Take note that I'm not an official marker for you to receive a badge of lesson 1, so you might want to join discord chat to ask people for additional feedback.

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.
Pentel Pocket Brush Pen
This is a remarkable little pen. Technically speaking, any brush pen of reasonable quality will do, but I'm especially fond of this one. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.
Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.
