technically attempt 1.5 as i got up to ellipses in planes a year ago
interestingly i found myself spending about half an hour per page most of the time (including the box ones), i wasn't intentionally rushing but it might be that i have a habit of rushing in general
for organic perspective i'll admit i didn't bother imagining vp·s (if that's what i was supposed to do)
Hello and welcome to drawabox, I also finished lesson 1 not too long ago. Your lines seem to be very confident. There are really no wobbly lines, except maybe for the rough perspective exercise. In ghosted lines, some of them go past the point you were drawing towards. It is a hard task but lifting your pen as soon as you get to the point helps (in case you didn't know). You are drawing through your ellipses (at least 2 times) which is a good thing. In the table of ellipses exercise, some of them overlap, which is just something to look out for. In your funnels exercises, it seems like one of them was incomplete because you made it too small. I see that you also decided to switch your fineliner, it's unfortunate that you could not find a black one though. Just like your lines, your boxes are confident which means you are drawing through them and that's a good thing. In rough perspective there are several wobbly lines so be sure to look out for that. Other than that, it is some really good work, good luck with the 250 box challenge!
Next Steps:
I think the student is ready for the 250 box challenge.

oh don't worry i have a bunch now, i just couldn't get one right then when this one ran out (hence the seemingly incomplete funnel)
i'm surprised you didn't comment on the rotated boxes tbh (i know they're not supposed to be perfect but c'mon)
Yeah I am still pretty new to this (Your work is actually the first I critiqued). I looked up a guide on critiquing and just went off of that. However, I did get my own work critiqued and I kinda wish I could go back and do yours differently, at least for the layout of it.
Every now and then I'll get someone asking me about which ruler I use in my videos. It's this Wescott grid ruler that I picked up ages ago. While having a transparent grid is useful for figuring out spacing and perpendicularity, it ultimately not something that you can't achieve with any old ruler (or a piece of paper you've folded into a hard edge). Might require a little more attention, a little more focus, but you don't need a fancy tool for this.
But hey, if you want one, who am I to stop you?
