Hey KANGAROO. I honestly didn't see any major problems in your lesson 1, I just want to give you some tips in case you do some exercises again.
In rotated boxes, you could position the 4 corner squares at the same distance from each other, so the shape of the boxes would be more circular. In the organic perspective you could add line weight in overlapping regions.
You did well. You can continue to the next lessons, but it is extremely necessary that you do the 250 boxes challenge first.
Don't forget to do some exercises from this lesson as a warm-up before drawing.
Next Steps:
Your next step is the 250 Boxes Challenge. Good luck:)

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.
Staedtler Pigment Liners
These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.
Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
