I am a beginner, so I'm just going to give feedback based on Uncomfortable's instructions, observations and from what I learned. Your lines are looking smooth in both lessons 1 and 2. You have a good accuracy in your ghosting lines. Most lines hit the dots.
I think you should ghost more of your ellipses, and in funnels some of the ellipses do not follow the minor axis. In the rough perspective your lines are little bit wobbly. Some of the lines of the front face of the box are not perpendicular to the horizontal line and vertical lines, but I can see you are trying to work on it.Some boxes also look a little bit distorted, but you are good in eyeballing where the lines should hit the VP.
I think you should ghost lines more as a warm-up before you draw anything.
Good job!

Thanks so much for the feedback! I will continue to work on ghosting my lines. i have redone rough perspective as requested, you can find my revisions here: https://imgur.com/a/Jap6AbD

Well done! You've understood the exercise. You're good in eyeballing as usual. There are no depth lines that connects to the frame. I can also see that there are more lines that are perpendicular to the horizon line and and run along the horizon line.

I think you understand the lessons, so i think u should go the next lessons.
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.
Drawabox-Tested Fineliners (Pack of 10, $17.50 USD)
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.
