Hello! I hope you're having a great day here to critqiue your lesson 1. I'm not sure but is this pen and paper? I think it's digital but I'm not sure if it is digital please stick to the reccomendations now.
Lines
-It feels like you have fraying on both ends in some cases please take your time there in future practice sessions
- I noticed one line has an arc and some are wobbly but in my experience practice usually fixes it
Elipses
-You did pretty great on elipses, better than me. Though your elipses get out a bit during the elipses in planes exercise
-One of the elipses feel a bit broken (the top of the left one), smoothness over accuracy
-The funnels' elipses aren't split into two halves by the minor axis and instead angled the (middle and moreso the right one) I tried to get over it by imagining the area where my elipse met with the minor axis as the most bulky bit of it as it goes down, like a hill
Boxes
-Rotated boxes have a large gap making the job generally harder. Please keep all of them close
-A few of your boxes taper on the side at the back of the box in the rough perspective exercise not being parallel nor perpendicular
That's all I wanted to say all in all you did pretty well in elipses though I reccomend practicing with the ghosting meathod more and if you are on digital please go onto pen and paper if you can
Next Steps:
Do the 250 boxes challenge and practice on the ghosting meathod for your first few warm-ups

Color and Light by James Gurney
Some of you may remember James Gurney's breathtaking work in the Dinotopia series. This is easily my favourite book on the topic of colour and light, and comes highly recommended by any artist worth their salt. While it speaks from the perspective of a traditional painter, the information in this book is invaluable for work in any medium.
