Hello! Congratulations on completing lesson 1! I'll be taking a look at your homework :D
You've done a great job! It shows that you have confidence when drawing lines. I don't see errors in this work in general.
Sometimes you are repeating lines over each other to correct the line. You should not repeat it, but should hold the line as if it were correct and move on.
Rotated boxes! This is a difficult exercise, so don't stress too much. There are problems with perspective here, mistakes are to be expected, but you will have a clearer idea of what to do in the box challenge. I recommend revisiting this exercise after you get a better handle on the boxes through the box challenge to see how much you've improved.
Go to the box challenge!

Hello, thank you so much for your feedback :D
I will try the rotated boxes exercise again after the 250 box challenge as suggested ^ - ^

Sketching: The Basics
A lot of folks have heard about Scott Robertson's "How to Draw" - it's basically a classic at this point, and deservedly so. It's also a book that a lot of people struggle with, for the simple reason that they expect it to be a manual or a lesson plan explaining, well... how to draw. It's a reasonable assumption, but I've found that book to be more of a reference book - like an encyclopedia for perspective problems, more useful to people who already have a good basis in perspective.
Sketching: The Basics is a far better choice for beginners. It's more digestible, and while it introduces a lot of similar concepts, it does so in a manner more suited to those earlier in their studies.
