Hi overall good job and congrats finishing first lesson.
Lines
Lines are p good, though longer ones do get a bit wobbly.
Ellipses
Ellipses are fine too. They a bit wobbly, but they're smooth. So don't forget to keep working on them.
Boxes
In both rotated boxes and organic perspective your main issue is perspective, which is completely fine, as you'll work on it in 250 boxes challenge.
Good luck and keep it up ;)

Feel free to move onto the 250 box challenge
Don’t forget to take breaks and draw for fun!
Also, now that you’ve completed Lesson 1, I encourage you to critique some Lesson 1 community submissions. Not only will this help the community, but it will also solidify and reinforce your understanding of the material. Of course, this is optional (but we’d be especially grateful!). If you’d like to give it a shot, see this guide that was created by one of our community members on how to go about critiquing Lesson 1.The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
Pentel Pocket Brush Pen
This is a remarkable little pen. Technically speaking, any brush pen of reasonable quality will do, but I'm especially fond of this one. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.
Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.
