Hi! Good Job on finishing lesson 1, I like you are a beginner as well, so please consider my observation with a grain of salt ^_^
I will divide the critique in 3 segments: (Lines, Ellipses, and Boxes)
Lines:
Firstly, You have drawn the lines with the best of your ability and with enough consistent practice you will reduce the wobbly lines that I noticed in the ghosted plane and ellipses in planes section. (The transition of drawing from the wrist to shoulder might be difficult at first, however everything is always difficult at first. So keep going!)
Ellipses:
On the Table of Ellipses, I'm happy to see you managed to keep the ellipses fit within the bounds with minimal overlapping between the ellipses and I noticed there are some small open spaces that you could draw small ellipses to fit in. I don't have much to say about your Funnels other than spacing issues.
Boxes:
Your Plotted Perspective looks good and other than some of the boxes lack a hatching line to emphasize depth. In the first panel of the first image (particularly the right box) it would seemed that you didn't draw through the box (as shown in the picture: https://imgur.com/a/PAkDNJp). On the Rough Perspective I see that you had drawn through the boxes and I noticed that there are some unfinished boxes and one crossed box. It's okay to make a mistake we are all learning haha! Furthermore, you didn't add a line to extend your depth lines to where they intersect the horizon (Here's a quick reference: https://imgur.com/a/NtWOQih). Moving on,since the difficulty of the Rotated Boxes is quite challenging, you did a good job of finishing the task with the best of your capability and since you will tackle the 250 boxes challenge later on, it will be a tremendous boost of improvement from there! Lastly, Organic Perspective. Apart from the first panel in the first image, I'm going to assume that perhaps you mistakenly drew a Rough Perspective instead of Organic Perspective, I would suggest adding a bit of lineweight especially at the start of your boxes to show how close the object are.
Next Steps:
Additional Notes:
I would suggest that you do a full redo of your Rough Perspective as comfy suggests. Don't be afraid If you feel like you make a mistake on your marks just push through and draw with confidence through your whole shoulder.
Another suggestion I would add is to have warmups before your drawing sessions! Warmups such as; Table of Ellipses, Ghosted Planes and Ellipses in Planes. Pick two of the three warmups before you start and do one page each (make sure to revisit the instructions If you feel lost)
Don't take yourself to seriously and have fun :)

First of all, thank you very much for taking the time to critique my work.
I have actually been doing warmups daily (3 activities that I have previously completed selected by a random number generator), but that is good advice nonetheless.
I followed the advice and re-did rough perspective https://imgur.com/a/jLJC5rD. I will be sure to practice consistently on ghosting lines.
Thanks again!

Hi! thank you for allowing me to critique your work, as it is a learning experience for me to learn from others as well.
That's great! If it helps you with your own progress then keep it up! :)
I see a good improvement of your Rough Perspective than your previous ones and the only thing I can critique on is that you should experiment more on your horizon lines and vanishing point. Perhaps place your horizon line above or below with the vanishing point's location are left/right or close to the center. Either way have fun and play around with the possibilities you could do :DD
Next Steps:
To wrap it up, I would suggest you start your journey on to the 250 boxes challenge, it will help you understand and expand the idea of third-dimensional space more as you progress through the assignment. Remember to check the instruction page often to check If you may forgotten a certain fundamental step in your journey!
Thanks and do your best! ^^

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw
Right from when students hit the 50% rule early on in Lesson 0, they ask the same question - "What am I supposed to draw?"
It's not magic. We're made to think that when someone just whips off interesting things to draw, that they're gifted in a way that we are not. The problem isn't that we don't have ideas - it's that the ideas we have are so vague, they feel like nothing at all. In this course, we're going to look at how we can explore, pursue, and develop those fuzzy notions into something more concrete.
