Hi MACLENNAN, I'm going to criticize your lesson 1. I'm just going to point out the big problems I found, that is, I'm not going to talk about the exercises that are good.
Tables of ellipses, ellipses in planes and funnels: your ellipses are wobbly. It could be because you do ellipses a little slowly, so increase the speed.
Rough perspective: one of the boxes is extremely crooked.
Organic perspective: you could have done more overlaps and used line weight.
Despite the criticisms, you did lesson 1 very well. I recommend that you do these exercises as a warm-up before drawing.
I marked your lesson as complete.
Next Steps:
Your next step is the famous 250 BOX CHALLENGE. Good luck :)
These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.
Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
