Your lines are p good
Ellipses are a bit wobbly, so I'd suggest you to add Ellipses and planes and Funnels to your warm up.
Rough perspective some times you missed vp by quite a lot but thats fine you'll deal with it in 250 boxes challenge.
Rotated Boxes good job (sometimes gaps are not consistent but it's not critical).
Organic perspective again perspective is a bit off.
Also don't repeat your lines. You did this a lot in Organic perspective. No matter how off the line is don't repeat it)
Good luck and have nice time doing 250 boxes challenge.
Congrats on completing lesson 1 xD
Next Steps:
As I marked this as complete, you are now qualified to critique lesson 1 submissions.
-Doing critiques is a way of learning and solidifying concepts. I can atest to that after having done hundreds of critiques. There are a lot of concepts that I did not understand, and thanks to critiquing I started understanding them. Which made me learn a lot more through the course.
-Another thing is that as the number of current submissions is super high, if you critique some critiques, those would be less critiques I'd have to critique before reaching your next submissions, so you'd get your critiques faster. The new system ordering submissions also makes that the more agrees your critiques have the higher you'll be placed in the queue of critiques, which will improve your chances of getting critiques faster as well.
It's totally optional of course, I won't force anyone to give critiques. But me and the other people who are critiquing would be super grateful if you gave it a shot.
Good luck on the box challenge, and keep up the good work!

Also, your lines get a bit wobbly in boxes. So always draw confident lines from your shoulder and accuracy will come after. Remember, confidence over accuracy. Good luck with 250 box challenge!!

Confidence, confidence, confidence...
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.
Faber Castell PITT Artist Pens
Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.
Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
