Congrats Deejweller on completing Lesson 1! Lets start this critique:

Lines

Most of your lines stayed consistent throughout this lesson, however there were just a few minor arched lines and wobbly lines. I recommend you to focus on ghosting the lines more so the lines can be more straight. For the arched lines, you can fix that by consciously arcing on the opposite direction. Other than that, the lines you created are pretty solid!

Ellipses

You did pretty well on drawing the ellipses in your table as they touch the edges of each box as well as staying nice and tight with the ellipses. Also good job on drawing through the ellipses at least 2-3 times. For your ellipses in the ghosted planes however had some inconsistence as some of your ellipses do not touch the edge of the plane. Be conscious and careful when ghosting the ellipses on the planes, so the ellipse is able to touch all the plane's sides. Your funnels were solid, as they touch each, only 2 funnels in that page had ellipses that didnt touch each other, but other than that its all good.

Boxes

Your plotted perspective did all the requirements and there were no distortion, nice! Great job on the rough perspectives, while they were some wobbly lines on the boxes, it was great that you only did it one stroke rather than chicken scratches as thats a common mistake from beginners. Your organic and rotated boxes are great for just starting! Especially making the boxes smaller to bigger in your organic boxes to make them have more depth!

Next Steps:

I believe you are ready for the 250 box challenge, good luck on your journey in drawabox!

Thank you so much for taking the time to critique my work! I appreciate all the feedback and will definitely be more mindful of ghosting through lines and ellipses more!

I hope you have a great week thank you again!

It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
Faber Castell PITT Artist Pens

Faber Castell PITT Artist Pens

Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.

Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
