Hi, well done for completing lesson 1!!
Here's what I think about your work:
Lines
Lines are smooth, with very little wobbling, good job :)
You have fraying near the end of the superimposed lines which is totally fine at this stage, as long as they're not fraying at both ends (which yours aren't).
I've noticed that on some of the boxes, when a line you've drawn ends up going off course a little, you draw another line to make up for it. Don't do this - next time, just keep the original line as if you meant to place it there and move on.
Ellipses
Your ellipses in general are quite good already, for example in the table of ellipses most of them fit within the bounds of the table and are touching the sides.
I would say that sometimes when you draw ellipses with a long major axis, the ends become quite pointed so work on rounding them out more.
The lines are a bit more wobbly here, especially for the circular ellipses. Remember to prioritise confidence and smoothness rather than accuracy.
Boxes
I'm impressed by how little of your lines overshoot in the ghosted planes exercise, well done! Also very nice straight, confident lines in the rough perspectives exercise.
Don't worry about the rotated boxes, the important thing is that you weren't afraid to attempt it. I would recommend narrowing the gap between the boxes next time so that you can use the neighbouring lines to help you: https://youtu.be/Jm-xtdM0s2s?t=435
In the organic perspective exercise there are some issues with the shape of the boxes, however this is natural at this stage so don't worry about it! You will improve with time. You could also make more of the boxes overlap with each other.
The 250 box challenge will help with both the rotated boxes and the organic perspective exercises.
Overall, I would say a very good attempt :)
Next Steps:
You should be incorporating these exercises into your warmups, particularly the ghosted planes with ellipses as this will tighten up the ellipses and improve your accuracy. In addition, superimposed lines are also good for practising adding line weight to make sure the line on top doesn't go off course.
Next step: 250 box challenge. You could revisit the rotated boxes exercise after the challenge and try again with your new understanding.
