Hello, I've also recently completed my first lesson here. Now I am to review your work as drawabox also recommends I do that. If you could also review my work, that would be great! https://drawabox.com/community/submission/WUGDDX26

I don't have any critiques really, I believe you've followed the instructions and managed to do the exercises at the best of your capability. The only thing I'd recommend is to not correct your ellipses as much as you did. Other than that: keep it up!

Next Steps:

If you haven't already, do the 250 box challenge!

Great work overall.

Only few additional critiques:

On Rotated Boxes: You fell into the mistake "Not actually rotating" on some of the edges, be careful of that.

On Organic Perspective: Some spacing between boxes is inconsistent.

The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. 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.
