Welcome to drawabox, and congrats on making it past the hurdle that is Lesson 1. Let’s see how you did!

Starting off, your superimposed lines look great. They’re smooth, properly lined up at the start, and of a consistent trajectory. Your arcing lines are a tiny bit weak, but I’m willing to bet that this is due to their size, and nothing else. As you know, the smaller a mark, the harder it is to engage the shoulder for it, so aim to draw a little bigger, from now on. Your ghosted lines look confident, if a little unambitious, and your planes are quite nicely done, too. I especially appreciate that you’ve not forgotten to plot start/end points for the non-diagonal center lines of your planes – most students do.

Onto the ellipse section, the table of ellipses exercise shows a good start. There’s not a great deal of variety to them here – either with respect to their degrees, or angles – but they’re smooth, rounded, and properly drawn through. Or, at least, I can see that they’re aiming to be. Again, I feel like their small size has hurt you more than anything else. We see students do this a lot – especially with more complicated exercises like the rotated boxes exercise. They think that drawing small will give them more control, somehow, but the opposite is true; drawing big will give your brain some room to breathe, and think, and thus, you’ll find yourself making less mistakes. It’s also good for your shoulder, of course. The ellipses in planes look great. I’m especially pleased to see how boldly you’re missing your frames, here; it’s clear that accuracy was not a great priority of yours – at least, not any that comes at the cost of confidence – and that’s absolutely the right call. The funnels are quite well done, also. I’d perhaps spend another second or two ghosting them, to fix the occasional spacing/alignment issues, but they’re minor, so no stress either way.

The plotted perspective exercise is nicely done – especially good job with the back lines! The rough perspective exercise starts off a little lacking, but shows some great improvement throughout the set. By the end, your convergences are on-point, and your linework is quite confident, also. It seems like you’re even being mindful of the shapes of your far planes here, which is always great to see – keep that up! The rotated boxes exercise is actually not as small as I expected! It’s quite well done, too; its boxes are snug, and they do a good job of rotating. They do lose themselves a little near the back, but that’s entirely normal, and something that we’ll get into in a second, anyway, in the box challenge. Speaking of boxes, the organic perspective exercise is nicely done. Its foreshortening is a little dramatic, but at least it’s consistently so, and the increase in size does a good job of communicating the flow we’re after. I do wonder at the overshooting, however. Could it be that you’re using points to determine the direction, but not length, of your lines here? If so, it should be both. Otherwise, don’t stress about it too hard, because that level of accuracy will come in time – I just mention it because I don’t see it elsewhere in this submission.
