Hi, I'll be taking a look at your Lesson 1 submission, so if you don't mind my input:
You're maintaining good confidence already with your marks and strokes, but you're not fully there. I notice in your ellipses in planes that you tend to still wobble slightly and arc your strokes, same for when you're drawing ellipses occasionally. When it comes to drawing strokes, remember that you can take all the time you can while ghosting until you get your arm comfortable with the motion. You don't even have to ghost the motions at a high speed, you can go slow during the preparation stage, only make sure your actual executed line on paper is done with the most confidence you can muster which the ghosting exercise helps you with.
I also notice that in the rotated boxes exercise you did do a good job with perspective... up until the outer ring of boxes. You'll get more practice with the next set of lessons and especially the 250 box challenge, but remember that Convergences become rapid and gradual as a box rotates, see here. This guide can also help you get the idea on what makes the Rotated boxes tick so you can get through it next time.
Next Steps:
You're on a good path already looking at your work so you'll be permitted to move on, but I do recommend tackling the 250 Boxes next, it'll be a way to practice what I've asked of you in mark-making and level up your spatial reasoning for the lessons afterward. Make sure to add these exercises to your warmups and take your time to get your future work done, no deadlines exist here. Happy trails!
When it comes to technical drawing, there's no one better than Scott Robertson. I regularly use this book as a reference when eyeballing my perspective just won't cut it anymore. Need to figure out exactly how to rotate an object in 3D space? How to project a shape in perspective? Look no further.
