Hi, I am Lucas and I gonna check your lesson 1 Homework by starting Lines first:
Lines: When I checked homeworks, I saw that you drew many wobble lines which were lack of confidence and attempts of ghosting but the confidence in drawing lines had been improved well since the Ghosted lines. I have a way to fix this problem by grabbing a piece of scratch paper and "reset" myself by drawing some loose, fast lines that go nowhere in particular. Then I go back to the more precise work.
Ovals: These homeworks about ovals are hard but you drew them well. In Ghosted planes and Tables of Ellipses , the ovals were fine and they touched the lines of the planes but the distance between line were a bit far. However, in Funnels, I saw ovals well drawn as the distance between lines wasn't there anymore. I see this as a great improvement.
Cubes: I am honestly impressed how well you draw those cubes! Plotted perspective is good, and the rough perspective/rotated boxes has the right idea. The most impressive homework I have ever seen is Rotated box, because you drew the boxes in the right direction and it looks fit in which they are. Organic Perspective is well done because the boxes have converged lines and they went with the line you drew.
Overall, you did the homework well. About the wobble lines, you can improve the confidence in executing lines if you keep doing these practices in your Warm Up. Hope my critique helps you in improve your skills.
Next Steps:
Now, you can wait for an 2nd critique before you can move on to 250 boxes challenge. While waiting, you can practice and improve your lines!

Thank you so much Lucas!
The scratch paper tip you mentioned is helpful. It will definitely help with the wobbly lines.

Cottonwood Arts Sketchbooks
These are my favourite sketchbooks, hands down. Move aside Moleskine, you overpriced gimmick. These sketchbooks are made by entertainment industry professionals down in Los Angeles, with concept artists in mind. They have a wide variety of sketchbooks, such as toned sketchbooks that let you work both towards light and towards dark values, as well as books where every second sheet is a semitransparent vellum.
