congratulations on finishing lesson 1 let's see what you've got here.
Lines
Super Imposed Lines: I see many of your lines are a bit wobbly, there is no need to make so many big lines, you can do smaller or medium size ones that will help you to focus on getting used to using the shoulder muscles to draw, focus on making the lines flow, accuracy will come with practice. https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/8/wobbling
Ghosted Lines: Againg some of the lines are wobbly, but for the most part you did a great job. You don't need to be as organized as you ware in the beginning keeping the lines one on top of the other, you can do it, but I just feel like you should focus on exercising and not on making the paper presentable. https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/9/example
Ghosted Planes: I think you did a great job in here overall, well done.
Ellipses
Tables of Ellipses: I see some of your ellipses are floating a little bit, try to keep them connected to all sides of it, touching the ellipses and the lines around them, no ellipse should be alone, although your ellipses have a nice flowing stroke to them good job on that.
Ellipses in Planes: You did a nice job in here, ellipses are well drawn and most of their sides are touching their surroundings, well done.
Ellipses in Funnels: Nice job on the funnels as well! ellipses are very nicely done.
Boxes
Plotted Perspective: Nice job on plotted perspective, nothing to add here, congrats.
Rough Perspective: again you did nicely, keep practicing.
Rotated Boxes: Lovely job in here, some of the boxes are a bit misaligned but I think it ended up with a believable perspective.
Organic Perspective: You did really well in here too, sure perspective is quite criticizable but you'll learn a ton about it in the next exercise so don't mind about it for now.
Next Steps:
I think you did really great overall and I'd say that I can already see some improovement in your work, I think you are ready to go forwards with the 250 boxes challenge if you didn't started already, good luck ahead soldier ^^

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.
The Art of Blizzard Entertainment
While I have a massive library of non-instructional art books I've collected over the years, there's only a handful that are actually important to me. This is one of them - so much so that I jammed my copy into my overstuffed backpack when flying back from my parents' house just so I could have it at my apartment. My back's been sore for a week.
The reason I hold this book in such high esteem is because of how it puts the relatively new field of game art into perspective, showing how concept art really just started off as crude sketches intended to communicate ideas to storytellers, designers and 3D modelers. How all of this focus on beautiful illustrations is really secondary to the core of a concept artist's job. A real eye-opener.
