Hello, Christ!
Your work overall for lesson one is superb: Your line work is clear and confident, like it should be in all of the exercises. Something I feel should be mentioned though is the Rotated Boxes exercise. In that exercise, you seem to understand that the boxes need to be rotating, which is shown in some parts of your exercise. However, a lot of the boxes don't rotate that much in comparison to some of the others. One of the goals of the exercise is to infer how boxes rotate in space and how they relate to the others around them. Other than that, you did pretty well!
Next Steps:
I suggest doing the Rotated boxes exercise again, so that you can get a better understanding of how the boxes sit in space; remember that you're not drawing them so that they are perfect, but so you can get an idea about what the exercise is meant to teach.

here I re-did the rotating thing...
it seems a little bit more consistent, I had a little more trouble with the first one especially managing the space, so in the new one i tried without the references on the sides (but i know what theyactually represent)...
this should be better even though some lines are not that great :/

Very well done!
Like you just said, the boxes are much more consistent then when you did it the frist time around, and it is clear that they are rotating in space, too.
Next Steps:
250 Boxes Challenge
I'd say you're clear to move on to the 250 Boxes Challenge if you haven't already; it will give you more practice with things that you struggled on in the Boxes portion of lesson 1, like perspective, as well as training your eyes to see your mistakes more clearly.

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw
Right from when students hit the 50% rule early on in Lesson 0, they ask the same question - "What am I supposed to draw?"
It's not magic. We're made to think that when someone just whips off interesting things to draw, that they're gifted in a way that we are not. The problem isn't that we don't have ideas - it's that the ideas we have are so vague, they feel like nothing at all. In this course, we're going to look at how we can explore, pursue, and develop those fuzzy notions into something more concrete.
