Thanks for your comments.
I've re-made exercice from lesson one ellipses on plane.
Could you please take some minutes to look and make comments?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Looks like you didn't fully understand the plotted perspective exercise.
First, you draw a vertical line. Then, using a ruler, you draw the whole line, from each viewpoint, to both ends of that vertical line. If you don't want it to look too messy, draw the convergence lines (the ones that go from the vertices to the viewpoint) with a pencil and use a pen only on the box proper.
On the table of ellipses, they look much better than in the original submission. The weird part is on the bottom right, there's a lot of overlap between them.
On the funnels, you should've used a ruler or something to draw perfectly straight lines in the middle of those arcs. They are mostly well contained within the borders, which is good.
I've redone the funnel using my french curve and a ruler for the axis as you advised me to do. It looks better.

Could you please also give me your advise on the organic perspective exercice? I feel that some of my boxes looks strange.
Thanks for all your feedback. It really helps.
Those funnel ellipses look good. You could have experimented with wider gaps and thinner ellipses, but that's good.
There is a lot of scratching on your lines on the organic perspective and rotated boxes.
You forgot to draw the full boxes on the rotated boxes, many don't have a back face. There was no need to do the exercise twice.
The thing with organic perspective is that it looks like you're just compacting them, making them shorter, so to speak. There was no need to draw them fully in this exercise, only the front, "visible" faces.
Next Steps:
Rotated Boxes and Organic Perspective, this time with zero scratching over any lines.
Let's be real here for a second: fineliners can get pricey. It varies from brand to brand, store to store, and country to country, but good fineliners like the Staedtler Pigment Liner (my personal brand favourite) can cost an arm and a leg. I remember finding them being sold individually at a Michael's for $4-$5 each. That's highway robbery right there.
Now, we're not a big company ourselves or anything, but we have been in a position to periodically import large batches of pens that we've sourced ourselves - using the wholesale route to keep costs down, and then to split the savings between getting pens to you for cheaper, and setting some aside to one day produce our own.
These pens are each hand-tested (on a little card we include in the package) to avoid sending out any duds (another problem with pens sold in stores). We also checked out a handful of different options before settling on this supplier - mainly looking for pens that were as close to the Staedtler Pigment Liner. If I'm being honest, I think these might even perform a little better, at least for our use case in this course.
We've also tested their longevity. We've found that if we're reasonably gentle with them, we can get through all of Lesson 1, and halfway through the box challenge. We actually had ScyllaStew test them while recording realtime videos of her working through the lesson work, which you can check out here, along with a variety of reviews of other brands.
Now, I will say this - we're only really in a position to make this an attractive offer for those in the continental United States (where we can offer shipping for free). We do ship internationally, but between the shipping prices and shipping times, it's probably not the best offer you can find - though this may depend. We also straight up can't ship to the UK, thanks to some fairly new restrictions they've put into place relating to their Brexit transition. I know that's a bummer - I'm Canadian myself - but hopefully one day we can expand things more meaningfully to the rest of the world.
