Looks quite good! I noticed a lot of improvement throughout your homework, especially in your table of ellipses. My main critique is to be less afraid of making things cluttered in your practice. For example: fit more boxes in the rough perspective example, let boxes overlap in organic perspective, and try a wider variety of shapes in the ghosted planes exercise. But you'll have plenty of time to practice that in later homework!

Next Steps:

You should tackle the 250 box challenge to build up more practice with ghosting lines and 3D space.

These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.

Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
