Hey BEARDIEDEV ..first off congrats on finishing lesson 1. I will try to help you with your submission. I will divide this into three sections of lesson 1.
- Lines
Superimposed lines : You kept a clearly defined starting point. Good job.
Ghosted lines and planes : A well executed smooth confident lines. Well done! You are using the ghosting method effectively to get confident linework.
- Ellipses
Ellipses on ghosted planes : You've critiqued it yourself as marking it bad.. It's just that you needed to ghost the ellipses before marking it on the paper..which you've done quite accurately on the other ellipses.
Table and funnel of ellipses : A pretty well executed ellipses. Nothing to mention here.
- Boxes
Plotted perspective : The back lines should be parallel to front lines. Maybe you wanna check this.

Your Rough Perspective seems great but the lines are quite squiggly so you want to ghost that as well in the future to get smoot confident lines as you did in the ghosted lines exercise.
Your Rotated Boxes turned out great. The boxes at the end aren't quite rotating. https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/17/notrotating. Practice this exercise again after you go through lessons forward.
Your Organic Perspective also turned out great. So great job ! Your boxes line construction relying pretty heavily on parallel line which is leading to some weird divergences in some cases. The lines construction after the initial Y line suppose to converge to their respective vanishing points using Y line as guide. The next lesson and exercise, 250 Box Challenge, will teach deeper understanding how to construct box with each lines converge to their respective vanishing points.
Overall this is a solid submission that shows a nice deal of growth. You seem pretty comfortable drawing from your shoulder for confident linework. Good luck.

I would add that for the funnels excersize, the ellipses should be aligned to each other and to the funnel - a few of them are out of align. this doesn't limit their ability to complete lesson 1, but they should keep this in mind for the future.

Thank you, I have made note of this.
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.
PureRef
This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.
When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.
Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
