Thank you for the critique!!! And separated thanks for the doodle, it's so cute!!!
Hello, dvoykin! Congratulations on finishing 250 boxes challenge!
You did well! Your boxes look good: they are diverse and their edges converge properly! The lines still wobble a little so I recommend to do more warm ups with Superimposed Lines (https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/superimposedlines) or any line exercise actually like Ghosted Lines or Ghosted Planes. I see you didn’t use hatching and lineweight which you aren’t obligated to do but it will be useful in the future lessons so I recommend to utilize it.
Good luck with Lesson 2!

Hello! I think your submission has only one picture?
Hello, ChimmyR! Congratulations on finishing 250 boxes challenge!
You did well! Your boxes look good: they are diverse and their edges converge properly, your hatching is very good too. It looks like you didn’t use lineweight which you aren’t obligated to do but it will be useful in the future lessons so I recommend to utilize it.

Hello, PeluniFox! Congratulations on finishing 250 boxes challenge!
You did well! Your boxes look good: they are BIG, diverse and their edges converge properly. Your hatching is a little less perfect: don’t forget to draw the hatching lines the same way as all other free hand lines, with ghosting and confidence. It looks like you didn’t use lineweight which you aren’t obligated to do but it will be useful in the future lessons so I recommend to utilize it.
Good luck with Lesson 2!

Hello, yucktogram_!
Congratulations on finishing 250 boxes challenge! You did GREAT! Lines of your boxes converge properly, they are smooth and confident. You hatching is a little less perfect: don’t forget to draw the hatching lines the same way as all other free hand lines, with ghosting and confidence. It looks like you didn’t use lineweight which you aren’t obligated to do but it will be useful in the future lessons so I recommend to utilize it.

Hello, Aswathi!
Congratulations on finishing 250 boxes challenge! I love how diverse and clean your boxes are! You hatching is a little less perfect: don’t forget to draw the hatching lines the same way as all other free hand lines, with ghosting and confidence. You lines converge nicely, the inner corner is a little off but it will become better with practice and making it perfect without plotting perspective is almost impossible. It looks like you didn’t use lineweight which you aren’t obligated to do but it will be useful in the future lessons so I recommend to utilize it.
Good luck with Lesson 2!
Thank you!!!
Hello, senj!
Thank you for the critique! I tried to pay attention to everything you said but it feels like the sausage method didn't work for me here https://imgur.com/a/tG0zafs. I think my kinda branches method gave better result in terms of making deers' legs straight and stiff which is close to the reference. Or I'm just not used to draw legs based on sausages?
Where the rest of my recommendations tend to be for specific products, this one is a little more general. It's about printer paper.
As discussed in Lesson 0, printer paper (A4 or 8.5"x11") is what we recommend. It's well suited to the kind of tools we're using, and the nature of the work we're doing (in terms of size). But a lot of students still feel driven to sketchbooks, either by a desire to feel more like an artist, or to be able to compile their work as they go through the course.
Neither is a good enough reason to use something that is going to more expensive, more complex in terms of finding the right kind for the tools we're using, more stress-inducing (in terms of not wanting to "ruin" a sketchbook - we make a lot of mistakes throughout the work in this course), and more likely to keep you from developing the habits we try to instill in our students (like rotating the page to find a comfortable angle of approach).
Whether you grab the ream of printer paper linked here, a different brand, or pick one up from a store near you - do yourself a favour and don't make things even more difficult for you. And if you want to compile your work, you can always keep it in a folder, and even have it bound into a book when you're done.
