Since you did not receive a follow-up on your first submission, I understand why you decided to repeat the lesson, but avoid that in the future; otherwise, you'll tire yourself out, and that is not the point of Drawabox.
To answer the question you asked in the forum: if you see your submitted lesson does not get answered (especially Lesson 1) or you have any other doubts about the exercises, you can ask on the Drawabox Discord: https://discord.com/invite/drawabox. I highly recommend it—they helped me a lot.
Nice! Your lines are confident and consistent, with almost no fraying at the start. Good job!
I notice some wobbling. Remember, it's okay to lack perfect accuracy at the start in favor of keeping lines confident and straight.
I notice a little more wobbling here. As stated before, do not let the fear of inaccuracy take over. Remember to use your shoulder for longer lines and ghost through each motion as many times as needed—accuracy will come with practice.
I see an improvement in confidence and accuracy—great job! Remember to draw each ellipse in this section 2-3 times in the same motion before lifting your pen to train it
https://d15v304a6xpq4b.cloudfront.net/lesson_images/f4181ea2.jpg. This applies all the exercises here. See how each ellipse looks like it overlaps with some more, that's the goal of this exercise.
It looks like you hesitated on some of your ellipses here. Remember: confidence over accuracy.
Good! All your ellipses are confident and nicely divided.
Starting commentary: I see a huge improvement in line confidence for this section. Great job!
Nice! You took each step correctly.
You forgot to extend the lines toward the vanishing point: https://d15v304a6xpq4b.cloudfront.net/lesson_images/d37aa43e.jpg. However, they do aim toward the vanishing point—good job
You did not draw the corner boxes, and they do not rotate correctly: https://d15v304a6xpq4b.cloudfront.net/lesson_images/d73eea49.jpg. This one is hard it took me some time to get it right at first. Remember to gradually close your vanishing points as they get further from the center box.
Very nice! The linework here looks splendid, and your boxes seem to converge well for this phase.
Next Steps:
Additional exercise.
Repeat the rotated box exercise rotating them.
I uploaded my review and now I notice that you were already working with someone, my bad
Next Steps:
Lets do those 250 boxes.

Sorry for the mess xd. In Next steps I meant to say you have to repeat the rotated box exercise but making sure to actually rotate them https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/21/notrotating
No worries! I got a lot of value from your criticism and I'll make sure to repeat the rotated boxes exercise. My only concern is:
Should I only repeat the rotating boxes exercise? Or go through the lines section of Lesson 1 again due to the wobbliness of my lines?
When I'm done with said revisions, should I reply to them to one of your messages above?
If I do get my revisions right, how am I going to receive the official okay that I have completed lesson 1?
Sorry for the questions, but I'm just a bit confused ^^
Otherwise, thank you again for your time!
2.Yes, and I will make sure to examine it.
3.You will receive a notification amd a badge on your profile.
I'm back! And man, I hope this is the last time I do this exercise T_T it's been a torture.
Well done! Now it's time for the 250 box challenge, good luck!.
THANK YOU!! I am so excited!
These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.
Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
