First of all, congratulations on completing Lesson 1!
LINES (Superimposed Lines, Ghosted Lines, Ghosted Planes): Your lines look good. They look like they've been drawn confidently, with no fraying at the start.
Table of Ellipses: Looks good - ellipses are tight, with minimal overlap
Ellipses in Planes: Looks good - the ellipses touch all side of the plane, a little bit of overshooting, but that's to be expected.
Funnels - Looks good, and are symmetrical to the axis
Plotted Perspective, Rough Perspective - Good job in getting your boxes to head towards the vanishing point and having consistent line weight for the outline of the boxes, as well as hatching.
Rotated Boxes - rotation looks good, hatching looks good. The right-side is a little lop-sided, but that's okay. You'll get a lot of practice with boxes in the 250 box challenge. :)
Organic Perspective - looks good, good job plotting your lines
Next Steps:
Congratulations! You can move on to the 250 box challenge!

To start, I would like to express my gratitude for the valuable feedback you have given me. I did not expect to receive constructive criticism so quickly, especially without it being an official critique. At first, I wanted to participate in the critique exchange program on the Discord channel, so I waited for a week as stated in the pinned message. But unexpectedly, you provided me with feedback, and I was very surprised and happy, and I feel very grateful.
Next, regarding the user agreement, do I really need more of user agreement to continue to the next challenge, or can I continue without it?.
Thirdly, do I have to wait for two weeks after being critiqued to start the 250-box challenge, as stated in the official critique explanation, or can I jump straight into it?.
Lastly, I still want to follow the rules inside the Discord critique exchange, which means waiting for a week for my homework to be reviewed and critiqued, and I'm glad that my homework has already been reviewed. Also, for submitting my 50% rule artwork, do I need your approval, or am I free to do it without your permission?. Those are all my questions i guess, Thank you sincerely for everything.

Like Nephele_Cloud said, you can continue with the next challenge. You only need one critique that marks the homework as complete to move on, and two User Agreements to get the badge. (You can move on without the badge, if that makes sense)
You can start the next challenge as soon as your homework is marked complete, so no need to wait.
I believe in critique-exchange on Discord, it's Elodin's rule to wait a week before asking to be added to the critique-exchange queue, and it's also Elodin's rule that you must prove you're doing your 50% work by submitting artwork. So no need to show me.
Now that your homework has been reviewed and marked complete, feel free to start paying it forward by also critiquing community homework! :)

Hi, I am agree with the critique i also think you did a great job in most of the exercise but i am going to add some points you should keeping in mind while doing warm-ups :)
Funnels
As for drawbacks, I see the minor axis not splitting the ellipses in two equal halves on some of the ellipses.
Rough Perspective
From what I can observe, some of your horizontal and vertical lines are slanting. Since we are dealing with one point perspective in this exercise, all horizontal lines should be parralel to the horizon line; and all vertical lines should be perpendicular to the horizon line. Lastly, use ghosting method then draw lines as much you needed.
Here's a personal recommendation that might help you understand how vanishing points work in perspective and how it behaves as an object rotates; it can also help you in the upcoming 250 boxes challenge so I believe it's worth a watch in addition to what is taught in Drawabox.

Organic Perspective
The drawbacks I see, is that on some tables, the farther box is bigger than the actual box that is closer in space to the viewer, which can cause some confusion, so do bear in mind the direction and flow of the boxes.
Next Steps:
You can move on !! Your next destination is to complete the 250 boxes challenge. Good luck and try to enjoy the process :)

Cottonwood Arts Sketchbooks
These are my favourite sketchbooks, hands down. Move aside Moleskine, you overpriced gimmick. These sketchbooks are made by entertainment industry professionals down in Los Angeles, with concept artists in mind. They have a wide variety of sketchbooks, such as toned sketchbooks that let you work both towards light and towards dark values, as well as books where every second sheet is a semitransparent vellum.
