Lines
Starting with your superimposed lines, these are off to a good start. You're taking the time to line your pen up with the starting point, which has minimised the amount of fraying. You also seem to be accepting and following the trajectory of your lines for the most part, which is great to see.
Next your ghosted lines are okay, they're all a bit small, so it would've been good to have seen a wider variety of lines. Some of them also wobble quite a bit and I suspect you may not be using your shoulders to execute these lines. The ghosted planes definitely show an improvement in confidence and some longer lines as well though I did notice a few of your lines started arcing as you got closer to the edge of the paper, possibly due to your unstable workspace, so try to find somewhere comfortable to work as soon as possible.
Ellipses
Your tables of ellipses are generally well done with a nice variety of different shapes and sizes of ellipses all packed in there tight together. The issue I noticed above with the edges of your paper is definitely present here as I can see you're managing some rather more confident ellipses towards the centre of the paper, whilst the ones towards the edges tend to falter and wobble quite a lot more.
Next, your ellipses in planes are also well done with a good focus on maintaining confident ellipses. You've managed to get the ellipse to hit the four sides of the plane in most instances, which is great to see. Finally, the ellipses in your funnels are generally well aligned to the minor axis. I noticed a lot more variation in the alignment of your ellipses towards the ends of the funnels, possibly due to the fact that the constraints are slightly looser here. Make sure you rotate your paper as needed when doing this exercise as sometimes we have a more comfortable angle for aligning ellipses that may not match what we're used to.
Boxes
You're doing a generally good job keeping your horizontals parallel and verticals perpendicular to the horizon line in your rough perspective exercise. Your line confidence took a little bit of a hit here so make sure you're still taking the time to plan, ghost, and execute your lines confidently. Otherwise, your estimation of perspective isn't too far off the mark, and where it strays, it does so in expected ways - e.g. boxes further from the vanishing point tend to be less accurate.
Onto your rotated boxes, where you've done a commendable job keeping everything tight together, which has given you the best chance at rotating your boxes - which you've managed to an extent, though both layers could have been pushed slightly further in rotation. That said, we don't expect students to nail this (or the following) exercise as they're intended as introductions to certain concepts that we will leverage in the box challenge and beyond.
Finally, your organic perspective compositions are coming along nicely. You're starting to capture a sense of depth in each with the variation in the size of your boxes. You can push this illusion further with gaps between your boxes becoming more compressed as they get further away with the ones closer free to overlap but less dense in general. The boxes themselves are a mixed bag with some of them looking quite good while others exhibiting significant divergence however this is why we assign the 250 box challenge in order to give students plenty of opportunity to nail down these issues.
