- I noticed one line has an arc and some are wobbly but in my experience practice usually fixes it

Hello! I hope you're having a great day here to critqiue your lesson 1. I'm not sure but is this pen and paper? I think it's digital but I'm not sure if it is digital please stick to the reccomendations now.
Lines
-It feels like you have fraying on both ends in some cases please take your time there in future practice sessions
Elipses
-You did pretty great on elipses, better than me. Though your elipses get out a bit during the elipses in planes exercise
-One of the elipses feel a bit broken (the top of the left one), smoothness over accuracy
-The funnels' elipses aren't split into two halves by the minor axis and instead angled the (middle and moreso the right one) I tried to get over it by imagining the area where my elipse met with the minor axis as the most bulky bit of it as it goes down, like a hill
Boxes
-Rotated boxes have a large gap making the job generally harder. Please keep all of them close
-A few of your boxes taper on the side at the back of the box in the rough perspective exercise not being parallel nor perpendicular
That's all I wanted to say all in all you did pretty well in elipses though I reccomend practicing with the ghosting meathod more and if you are on digital please go onto pen and paper if you can
Next Steps:
Do the 250 boxes challenge and practice on the ghosting meathod for your first few warm-ups

I'd say you're ready for the 250 box challenge, I got confused by elipses outside of the planes but I found it excusable nothing practice can't fix. Good luck and have a great day
Next Steps:
Please do the 250 box challenge

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 Art of Blizzard Entertainment
While I have a massive library of non-instructional art books I've collected over the years, there's only a handful that are actually important to me. This is one of them - so much so that I jammed my copy into my overstuffed backpack when flying back from my parents' house just so I could have it at my apartment. My back's been sore for a week.
The reason I hold this book in such high esteem is because of how it puts the relatively new field of game art into perspective, showing how concept art really just started off as crude sketches intended to communicate ideas to storytellers, designers and 3D modelers. How all of this focus on beautiful illustrations is really secondary to the core of a concept artist's job. A real eye-opener.
