hello TIAMAL you've submitted your first drawabox lesson, congratulations for getting started. i'll critique youe work now.

Lines:

On the superimposed lines part you seem to be hesitating and that caused the lines to be some what wobbly, remember always execute your lines with confidence.

on the ghosted lines you did overshooted your lines abit you can fix this by lifting your pen just as you hit your target

Planes:

you did well ghosting the planes however some lines seems to curving remember to ghost your lines until you're confident enough to execute it.

ellipses:

you did well on the tables of ellipses part some og the ellipses seems to be missed shapened this can be fixed by ghosting your ellipses before you execute them

the ellipses in planes is where i found some problems you should be making sure that the ellipses's edges touch the plane's edge

On the funnel exercise you did well no faults here

boxes:

you did well on the plotted perspective and rough perspective exercise

however on the rotating box exercise you applied too much line weight here, for this exercise going through the lines twice would be sufficient

on the organic perspectivemost of the boxes are well constructed safe for a few where the angles of the Ys are below 90° try to keep the angle of the Ys over 90 so the box wouldn't look to distorted also some of the lines are some what wobbly remember to ghost them before you execute them.

that's the end of my critique feel free to move on to the 250 boxes challenge.

Next Steps:

start doing the 250 boxes challenge.

Glad to be of help :)

The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. 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.
PureRef

PureRef

This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.

When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.

Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
