Hello, Haider4123!
Your work is great and here are my observations:
-
Your superimposed lines exercise looks great: the lines are smooth, confident. They don't fray at both ends, you did 2 pages and the lengths are different. You did all that you were asked, good job.
-
Your ghosted lines are also good, confident, smooth, very accurate, don't arc much. Great!
-
In ghosted planes exercises you keep the good work with your lines, no remarks. Good job!
-
Your Ellipses exercise also shows effort: ellipses are smooth, planned, accurate, and you draw through them several times. Everything's in place.
-
Your Ellipses in planes exercises also turned out very nice, although one of the pages has some drawing covering some of the planes. Nevertheless, I think what you showed is enough to understand that you completed the main goal of this exercise.
-
Your funnels are perfect: smooth, accurate, aligned to minor axis - great!
-
In your plotted perspective exercise all the lines are drawn correctly, except one of the boxes in the upper plane clearly has not ideal vertical lines. It is not a mistake though (because we use ruler there), just an observation.
-
Your rough perspective exercise looks nice: line work is perfect, I see quite an improvement with the lines converging to the VP on the second page. Good job.
-
!!! Your rotated boxes exercise is mostly decent: you rotate the boxes nicely, the lines are confident and smooth. But the corner boxes are a little off, because your boxes are not that drastically rotated, we should see the front face at least a little. Also the back faces are very off: https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/17/guessing , they need to be tighter, just as front faces. Unfortunately, I added this 9th remark of mine later, cause I forgot to look at this exercise. It would actually be nice to redo this exercise, paying more attention to the back faces of the boxes. Right now it looks like one boxes are much shorter than the other. !!!

In organic perspective exercise it seems to me that you made your lines in pencil first and then erased it? If I am wrong, please forgive me, if I am right, don't do that. The purpose of these exercises (all of them) is that you try to force yourself to really think about your lines a lot, to plan them, and only then to draw them. That's why we don't use pencils and other erasable materials. Again if I am wrong, didn't mean any bad, sincerely sorry.
All in all, I think you are clear to proceed to the 250 box challenge.
!!!after you redo rotated boxes!!!
But I have a small remark regarding photos: if I don't see the number of the page, it's really difficult to understand if you made a progress (like I don't know which is Ellipses-1 and which is Ellipses-2). Try to put the number on the page and take a photo in such a way, so that the person reviewing your work can see the number (in Rough Perspective-1 for example I can barely see it ).
You can reply here if you have any questions or thoughts.
Keep up the good work and good luck!
Next Steps:
250 box challenge will the great next step for you!

Thanks for critiquing my work :)
- I see what you mean by the boxes in the rotated boxes exercise.
Honestly I was too confused at how to place the corner ones because uncomfortable didn’t quite explain it. But I’ll try my best to improve.
-
In organic perspective I didn’t use a pencil instead I used a ball point pen and the marks are of the ghosting I did before actually drawing the lines.
-
Sorry for the poor presentation of my work it was my first time.
I’d make sure to number them accordingly.
And I wanted to ask something:-
- Should I redo rotated boxes before going onto 250 boxes?
(Sorry for poor English it Isn’t my first language…)

Hi!
It's great you didn't use the pencil, a little bit of marks after ghosting is ok!
I think it would be great to redo rotated boxes, trying to keep the distances consistent and narrow.
Your English is perfectly understandable for me, it's also not my native :)
Next Steps:
Rotated boxes 1 more try

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.
The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw
Right from when students hit the 50% rule early on in Lesson 0, they ask the same question - "What am I supposed to draw?"
It's not magic. We're made to think that when someone just whips off interesting things to draw, that they're gifted in a way that we are not. The problem isn't that we don't have ideas - it's that the ideas we have are so vague, they feel like nothing at all. In this course, we're going to look at how we can explore, pursue, and develop those fuzzy notions into something more concrete.
