Hi, Gator!
Congrats on completing the homework for lesson 1. Let's begin!
Lines
Superimposed Lines: Good job! They're pretty consistent but some of the lines are kind of arc, remember to use your shoulder. With the curves, it's ok. But one important thing. I'm afraid that you are not taking your time to line up your pen to the start. Take your time and do not rush.
Ghosted Lines: Those lines are confident and smooth. Like two or three are kind of arc, but it's ok. About the target, it's normal to miss, don't worry. With warm-ups, you'll improve accuracy.
Ghosted Planes: Nice work! I can see your improvement with lines! :)
Ellipses
Table Ellipses: You draw through like two or three times, good! Some of the ellipses are confident others are wobbly.
Ellipses in planes: Mos of them are confident. Some times are a little bit wobbly.
Funnels: Focus on ghost more your ellipses, some of them are aligned to the minor axis. They aren't confident or even shape, so I'll add this exercise to my warm-ups.
Boxes
Rough Perspective: Good job! You use the ghosting method.
Rotated Boxes: The boxes are rotated, good. In the corners, boxes aren't completely rotated. See the corners in that example: https://d15v304a6xpq4b.cloudfront.net/lesson_images/9a2db6a0.jpg
Organic Perspective: Pretty good! I can see those boxes are rotated. With the 250 box challenge, you'll have a lot of practice.
Next Steps:
Feel free to move onto the 250 box challenge. Good luck!
Tips that will help you :)
Do warm-ups https://drawabox.com/faq/grinding
Use your shoulder
Take breaks
Do not rush and take your time
Cheers!

Thank you so much! I definitely agree about rushing some areas and not taking the time to properly ghost so i'll try and take it a bit slower with the 250 box challenge :)

How to Draw by Scott Robertson
When it comes to technical drawing, there's no one better than Scott Robertson. I regularly use this book as a reference when eyeballing my perspective just won't cut it anymore. Need to figure out exactly how to rotate an object in 3D space? How to project a shape in perspective? Look no further.
