Hello, I'm r0m1 and I'll critique your lesson 1. Overall, you did a very good job, so congratulation!
Superimposed Lines
You are executing your mark confidently, and maintain a confident, consistent trajectory for your strokes. The lines do not wobble. There are some wobbles at the beginning of some lines (the longest on the 2nd page), so remember to place your pen properly when you start to draw. It's minor, though. Other than that, it seems correct to me.
Ghosted lines
It also seems correct to me: you are drawing the lines without hesitation. They do not wobble nor arc or bow, and you are close to hit the end. Your precision will increase with practice. You can include this exercise in your warmup routine to train.
Ghosted planes
The lines are still drawn confidently and precisely, so the planes are correct. Again, the precision of the end of the lines will increase with time and practice, so nothing to worry about. And you definitively used the ghosting method. Nice job!
Tables of ellispes
You draw through your ellipses 2 full times at least, and they are evenly shaped. They do fit snugly against the border of the tables and between each other (with a few exceptions, but very minor), so once again, good job.
Ellipses in planes
You draw through your ellipses two or three times, and most of them touch the four edges of your planes. They all are evenly shaped. But a couple are a bit too big for the planes. It's a minor issue though, because I think you got the purpose of the exercise.
Funnels
Everything is ok : you have drawn through your ellipses at least twice, they are touching the edges of the funnel and you attempted to align them to the central minor axis line.
Plotted perspective
You used a ruler, as stated in the instructions. The verticals are perpendicular to the horizon. All the edges plot back to the vanishing points. Well done!
Rough perspective
You are working with a single vanishing point, in the middle of the frame and both the front and back of the frames are rectangular (there are some imprecision in the stroke but I don't think you misunderstood the exercise). Do not forget to use the ghosting method to draw the line confidently, some of them wobble a bit!
Rotated boxes
You followed the instructions and the core steps of the exercise: this is referring to laying out the vertical and horizontal axes, as well as adding the squares at the end of each axis (this helps remind the 180 degree rotations). The gap between the boxes are consistent.
You used different vanishing points for all boxes. You draw through your boxes and all the boxes are drawn. Nice!
Organic perspective
You did a solid work: you used the ghosting method to draw your boxes and most of the the boxes sets of parallel edges do not diverge as they move farther away from the viewer. You did not leaned into particularly dramatic foreshortening.
The few remarks I made are details: you did a solid work, so you can move to the next step.
Next Steps:
The 250 boxes challenge. Good luck with it! And do not forget to include the lesson 1 exercises on your warmup routine.
