Lesson 1: Lines, Ellipses and Boxes

its my first time trying to learn how to draw, its not as good as i would like, but its my best
Your ellipses look like they are on the right track. They will tighten up over time. My main feedback is to put more effort into making them touch the borders of boxes you are putting them in.
Most of my feedback is related to markmaking and line quality:
For the ghosted lines, I noticed you were making fairly large dots for your points, which was distracting and hurting the accuracy of the lines you were making since the space that you could start your intial mark in was so vast. Looks like you stopped doing that, so good job. Still sometimes they come out as tiny lines or ovals rather than points, which suggests you are rushing this part, and not thinking super thoughtfully about dot placement. Try and slow down and think about this more.
A lot of your lines have a curvature to them. You might be going a little too fast. Try drawing and ghosting just a little slower. Look to the point you are drawing to as you make your mark.
Some of the lines are also off on both points, which means you need to take more time to line up your line on the initial point before you make your mark. Don't rush this.
Next Steps:
Move onto the 250 box challenge. Overall, you have a good grasp of the lesson content, but as you move into the challenge, you would benefit from slowing down a little to think about each step of the process.
When it comes to technical drawing, there's no one better than Scott Robertson. I regularly use this book as a reference when eyeballing my perspective just won't cut it anymore. Need to figure out exactly how to rotate an object in 3D space? How to project a shape in perspective? Look no further.
