Hello there I call myself Quat and I am going to review your exercises for lesson1.
First of all the line section of lesson 1: in the Superimposed lines exercise Your lines were wobbly for a lot of lines and I think that you could have used have used more of the space in the paper, but seeing how the rest of the submission turned out I won't make you redo the exercise.
The rest of the lines exercises are well made and there is nothing to point out.
Next the Ellipses section of lesson1: in the tables of Ellipses experience for one page some of the Ellipses are flouting weirdly and without touching any corners,and I might need to ask you to redo this exercise. as for the rest of the Ellipses exercises , you seem to have done a good job and I don't have anything to critique.
Lastly the box section of lesson1: you have followed the instructions pretty well, but in the organic perspective exercise you did an entire page instead of dividing the pages into 3 or so sections, also your hatching lines make it very hard to understand what is going on, try to use less of them and spread them a bit wider next time.
Next Steps:
1 page of the tables of Ellipses exercise and 1 page of the organic perspective exercise

Hello there Quat! Thanks for the detailed corrections. Here are the revision exercises that you gave me: https://imgur.com/a/zpC7tzC. A few notes on them:
-I still struggle with giving my ellipses a consistent shape, despite following the ghosting method to the best of my ability.
-For the organic perspective page, there are a lot of boxes being obstructed by others. That's because I drew the center lines with my eyes closed, so some segments ended up overlapping. Sorry for my stupidity.

The organic perspective exercise looks crampt , In your case the drawings are Comprehensive but you should keep an open eye for it becomes incomprehensible.
But over all Your exercises look good enough for you to move on to the 250 boxes challenge

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.
Ellipse Master Template
This recommendation is really just for those of you who've reached lesson 6 and onwards.
I haven't found the actual brand you buy to matter much, so you may want to shop around. This one is a "master" template, which will give you a broad range of ellipse degrees and sizes (this one ranges between 0.25 inches and 1.5 inches), and is a good place to start. You may end up finding that this range limits the kinds of ellipses you draw, forcing you to work within those bounds, but it may still be worth it as full sets of ellipse guides can run you quite a bit more, simply due to the sizes and degrees that need to be covered.
No matter which brand of ellipse guide you decide to pick up, make sure they have little markings for the minor axes.
