Hello, I've also completed my first lesson. I will now critique your homework, if you could do the same thing for me, that's be great! https://drawabox.com/community/submission/WUGDDX26
My critique for you is that you started out great. Your lines are well prepared, I can see how they're starting point is pretty much the same. Maybe you could've thrown in some longer lines that cover the entire page. The ellipses in planes are a little messy. I suggest you ghost the ellips max 3 times and then confidently go for drawing it, without correcting yourself. If you draw only once you will be able to better see where you've gone wrong. Remeber that maintaining a smooth elliptical shape is critical and above all else your first priority.
I like that you've on the rough perspective exercise you've managed to only draw on line and go from there. That show your improvement on that. As for the organic boxes, you could make the lines of the boxes that are closer a little thicker just to make it easier for the viewer to see what's close and what's further away. I noticed you've also used a more extreme foreshortening there. Drawabox tells you not to do that. Use extreme foreshortening sparingly.
Other than that congrats on finishing lesson 1, keep it up!
Kind regards,
Delphine

If you haven't already, do the 250 box challenge.

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.
