Wow, thank you so much for this in-depth critique! I'll make sure to make the necessary adjustments.

For your ellipses, you should probably ghost more slowly at first to make sure that the rounded ends hit the walls, then increase your ghosting speed, and then make contact with the paper. Your ellipses are pretty wobbly, so also try to improve line confidence. Draw from your shoulder if you aren't, it's hard at first but it helps a lot.
-
Don't make line corrections and repeat your lines, even if they're super off - I think Uncomfortable (the drawabox teacher) is really pushing line confidence > accuracy for now.
-
Make sure you draw your lines through and the lines of the boxes actually hit each other at the corner ends.
-
Some of the lines on the boxes wobble in order to hit the second plotted point. You should probably aim for confidence > accuracy of the line again.

Some of the ellipses go over their bounds and are a little messy. Probably slow down just a bit and see if that improves accuracy without compromising line confidence.

I'm new to Drawabox, and just finished the first lesson, but based on Elodin's guide on Lesson 1 critiques, there's a few things you should make sure to take note of for the future.
Overall you did a good job with plotting lines with your boxes, you just need to improve with your ellipses.
Here's the critique guide so you can assess yourself if you want.

I think you did a good job of plotting out your lines overall though.

The Art of Brom
Here we're getting into the subjective - Gerald Brom is one of my favourite artists (and a pretty fantastic novelist!). That said, if I recommended art books just for the beautiful images contained therein, my list of recommendations would be miles long.
The reason this book is close to my heart is because of its introduction, where Brom goes explains in detail just how he went from being an army brat to one of the most highly respected dark fantasy artists in the world today. I believe that one's work is flavoured by their life's experiences, and discovering the roots from which other artists hail can help give one perspective on their own beginnings, and perhaps their eventual destination as well.
