Hello, good job on finishing lesson 1 !
Your superimposed lines don't have fraying on both end of the line, which is good. There is a bit of arching in some lines, but the problems has been solved in the ghosted lines.
Your ghosted planes are well done : the lines are drawn with confidence from the shoulder (there's just a bit of undershooting/overshooting in some lines, but you'll be able to improve this point during the 250 boxes challenge).
As for the table of ellipse and the ellipses in plane, those are drawn with confidence, as there is no wobbling, which is good, but some ellipses aren't in bound of the space they're in. Your ellipses snug well in funnels, which is improvement !
Some lines aren't drawn as confidently as before in rough perspective. It's completely fine, as you'll be training this skill during the 250 boxes challenge.
The perspective and rotation on rotated boxes are overall well drawn.
The different rotations in organic perspective are good, some problems with perspective from time to time but nothing too problematic.
As a reminder, you can use line weight by ghosting once outer lines of boxes to improve perspective and make i easier to see which part of the box is the front and which one is the back. This method will be used in the next lessons, starting with the 250 boxes.
I'll mark this lesson as complete. Have fun with the 250 box challenge !

Rapid Viz
Rapid Viz is a book after mine own heart, and exists very much in the same spirit of the concepts that inspired Drawabox. It's all about getting your ideas down on the page, doing so quickly and clearly, so as to communicate them to others. These skills are not only critical in design, but also in the myriad of technical and STEM fields that can really benefit from having someone who can facilitate getting one person's idea across to another.
Where Drawabox focuses on developing underlying spatial thinking skills to help facilitate that kind of communication, Rapid Viz's quick and dirty approach can help students loosen up and really move past the irrelevant matters of being "perfect" or "correct", and focus instead on getting your ideas from your brain, onto the page, and into someone else's brain as efficiently as possible.
