Hello, I will be giving you my feedback regarding your homework. (make sure to apply the 50% rule if you don't already)

Lines

At first, your lines are a little arched, but this decreases over time (but there is still a little arched: https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/ghostedlines/arc).

Ellipses

Your ellipses are OK. I noticed that in the funnel exercise, they were a little misaligned with the center line.

Boxes

You did a good job in all the exercises in this section, but you forgot to complete the rough perspective (you didn't do the line extension: https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/20/step9)

In this exercise, one of the boxes is rotated. This is a mistake as this exercise must be done at just one vanishing point and following the restrictions (https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/20/guessing). As this was a one-off, it will only be a point of attention.

Finish the exercise and submit it here when you're done.

Next Steps:

Finish the rough perspective exercise, extending the lines.

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

Also in rotated boxes you missed the 4 absolute corners. I encourage you to complete the whole set before moving on.

Cottonwood Arts Sketchbooks

Cottonwood Arts Sketchbooks

These are my favourite sketchbooks, hands down. Move aside Moleskine, you overpriced gimmick. These sketchbooks are made by entertainment industry professionals down in Los Angeles, with concept artists in mind. They have a wide variety of sketchbooks, such as toned sketchbooks that let you work both towards light and towards dark values, as well as books where every second sheet is a semitransparent vellum.
