Hey, Kisanto! Good work all around! There are a few things you can improve upon, and one thing I would request from you, but I'm really impressed with the work you put in.
Lines: Your superimposed lines look great. There are a few instances of fraying on both ends, but most of the time, you get it right. The ghosted lines and ghosted planes are also pretty good. I can see that you are confident in executing the lines, even if they miss the dot. Continue to do that as you move on to future lessons.
Ellipses: The table of ellipses look pretty good. I think you did an excellent job making sure you only go over the ellipses two or three times. In some instances, you give the ellipses a pointed end. I only see this in the tables, so I'm not too concerned about it. That being said, as you incorporate ellipses into your warmup, make sure to make all ends rounded. The other thing I would suggest if you decide to do table of ellipses as a warmup in the future, practice varying the width a little more. It seems that most ellipses have the same degree or width. You can vary it by making skinnier ellipses, fatter ellipses, or circles. Don't worry about doing revisions of this exercise, but just make sure you practice varying the sizes more during warmups. The funnels look amazing to me. You did a good job making sure the line bisects them as best as possible. One thing you are missing though is the ellipses in ghosted planes. I can't pass you yet until this is included, so make sure to get that in at your earlier convenience.
Boxes: Plotted perspective looks fine to me. In the future, for warmups, I wouldn't be afraid to incorporate 4-6 boxes per panel. On rough perspective, I think you understood the exercise mostly well. You aimed to get to the vanishing point. And while you did overshoot and wobble a little bit, I can tell that you were doing your best to be confident. When you are doing this for warmups, I want you to focus on different sizes of boxes, specifically length. Most of the boxes you drew were close to the vanishing point length-wise. There is no problem with that, but as you go into the 250 box challenge, you are going to be dealing with boxes that are further away from their vanishing points. For warmups, make sure to vary the lengths of boxes: some can be long, but also practice making them short. That way, you can better understand if you grasp the concept of getting at or near the vanishing point. Rotated boxes look remarkable to me. I know you mentioned messing up on it, but I think it looks pretty great. Organic perspective looks fine, too. I could tell that you grew while practicing this, as you got more comfortable allowing the boxes to overlap each other. And, I agree, organic perspective is less of a nightmare than rotated boxes. Overall, solid work on boxes. Just make sure to vary lengths, especially during the 250 box challenge.
All-in-all, great work on lesson one. Before I pass you to do the 250 box challenge, make sure you get the ellipses in planes turned in. As far as warmups, feel free to practice a panel of ellipses, a panel of rough perspective, and/or a panel of plotted perspective. The latter two are very important when you move forward to the 250 box challenge
Next Steps:
Turn in two pages of ellipses in ghosted planes.
For warmups, incorporate rough perspective, plotted perspective, and table of ellipses.
