Hi,
Congrats on completing Lesson 1.
Superimposed Lines
Some of your lines here are looking pretty good, it looks like you used one nice confident stroke for each of your lines, however I noticed that there is some "fraying" on both ends of your superimposed lines, remember to take the time to position your pen correctly at the same starting position. Take care to plan and prepare before you make a mark. https://drawabox.com/comic/1
I also noticed a little bit arcing in your lines as well, remember to use your whole shoulder when you make a mark. It may also help to consciously arc your lines in the other direction.

Ghosted Lines
Good job on these, I like that you prioritized making confident lines over accuracy. Your accuracy will improve over time.
Tables Of Ellipses
You did a good job on these as well, and made sure to draw through each ellipse two times prioritizing making a confident line over having it accurate. However, I saw that your ellipses escaped the bounds of your table. Try to keep your ellipses within the barrier that contains it.
Ghosted planes/ Ellipses in planes
Your planes here are looking good, and your ellipses confident too, with very little wobbliness. However like in your Tables of Ellipses, there are many cases when your ellipses escaped the bounds of the plane.
Funnels
Your funnels are also looking pretty decent as well, confident ellipses and aligned to the minor axis for the most part. Although there were still a few cases where your elipses were misaligned, it's tricky, but do take care to make sure they stay aligned.
Plotted Perspective
I saw quite a bit of wobbliness in the hatching lines you used. Remember to apply the ghosting method for every mark you make, so there is no hesitation when you go to make a line.

Rough Perspective
It looks like you applied the line correction method properly, extending the lines of your boxes back to the horizon.
I saw more wobbliness in your lines here, remember to ghost every mark you make. I also noticed in some cases your horizontal lines weren't parallel with the horizon.
Rotated Boxes
You did good on making rotated boxes, smooth confident lines, except for a few cases, and each box was spaced apart pretty well. However, I noticed that the boxes on the very edge were not rotated, and were parallel with the boxes directly adjacent to them.

Organic perspective
Your organic perspective boxes are looking good too. You'll have plenty of time to practice your boxes in the 250 box challenge!
Next Steps:
250 box challenge!
Proko's Figure Drawing Fundamentals
Stan Prokopenko's had been teaching figure drawing as far back as I can remember, even when I was just a regular student myself. It's safe to say that when it comes to figure drawing, his tutelage is among the best.
