I'm going to agree with Reactorboy's post so you can get your completion badge, but here's a bit more detailed feedback.

Lines:

Superimposed Lines and Ghosted Lines are good overall, which is the point of the exercises. Your linework gets a bit more wobbly in the Ghosted Planes and the later box exercises, but not a problem -- as you keep doing DaB and continue to plot your lines (ie. place dots) and ghost, you will keep getting more confident.

Ellipses:

Good work - again, confidence over accuracy, and the ellipses are confident. In the Tables of Ellipses, most of the ellipses have been drawn over twice, but it appears some have been drawn over 3 or more times. I recommend drawing ellipses over twice only, as it that continues to build confidence while allowing you to focus on accuracy without the 'safety net' of drawing over many times. You can practice drawing tables of ellipses or funnels as warmup/practice, as you keep doing more DaB. (That's what I've been doing myself.)

Boxes:

As mentioned above, your linework becomes a bit wobbly in Rough Perspective and Organic Perspective, but you'll get plenty of practice in the 250 Box challenge. Well done in Rotated Boxes, that's the toughest exercise IMHO! Those boxes are tightly packed and rotate fine. Good effort in Organic Perspective - I would like to see those boxes rotate more, as many of them show a similar angle/perspective of the faces. You'll be drawing tons of boxes in the 250 Box challenge, so I encourage you to be bold and practice more extreme rotations and foreshortened perspective on those boxes.

Congrats on finishing Lesson 1; continue to the 250 Box challenge.

And since you'll get your completion badge, why not join in giving community feedback to other Lesson 1 exercises - critique helps you improve your own understanding of the lessons and techniques. Here's a Lesson 1 critique guide to get started: https://pastebin.com/dYnFt9PQ

Awesome thanks!

I have done a couple of reviews of other's submissions, but haven't had a lot of time to do that between work, other hobbies, and drawing :)

And ya, rotated boxes was a challenge to complete.

How to Draw by Scott Robertson

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.
