Hello I'll be covering your HW. Please make sure things are uploaded in order so there is no mix-up. Also make sure when takign the pictures, the other assignments are out of frame. Just so they aren't distracting.
Superimposed lines: A little messy but I think you got the idea.
Ghosted Lines: A number of the lines appear wobbly not as confident.
Ghosted Planes: A little rough, but line work is better.
Table of Elipses: Overall good job.
Elipses in a Plane: Can see a solid attempt and understanding.
Funnels: Elipses appear better.
Plotted Perspective: No issues here.
Rough Perspective: I see a few issues here. A couple boxes don't have lines, one has lines going way off.
Rotated Boxes: Yeah this is definitly going to need a revision.
Organic Perspective: Not bad but I think another attempt woudl help.
Next Steps:
So what I would like to see is one more attempt on organic perspective, roatated boxes for sure, and rough perspecitve each. I think what can help is just re-reading the insturcitons.

Much better. I think now you are ready to move on.
Next Steps:
Just remember to read the directions carefully.
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
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.
