To OP: Every post on this subreddit is manually approved, once we make sure it adheres to the subreddit rules, the main ones being the following:

  • That all posts here must relate drawabox.com (being either questions or homework submissions). More on that and why a subreddit with such a general name has such a specific focus can be found here.
  • As an exception to the above, beginners may make one (and only one) post asking for resource recommendations, "where to get started", etc.
  • All homework submissions must be complete - single exercises and partial work is not allowed on the subreddit, as mentioned in this video from Lesson 0. You can however get feedback on individual exercises on the discord chat server, and the folks there would be happy to help you out.

If you find that your post breaks either of these rules, we would recommend deleting your post yourself, and submitting on one of these other more general art communities instead:

Just be sure to read through their own individual submission guidelines before posting.

To those responding: If you are seeing this post, then it has been approved, and therefore is related to the lessons on drawabox.com. If you are yourself unfamiliar with them, then it's best that you not respond with your own advice, so as not to confuse or mislead OP.

Thank you for your cooperation!

I only just got my critique back on Lesson 1 myself, so I'm not really experienced enough to say whether or not you're ready to move on. On the other hand, I've got my own feedback fresh in my mind, so I might be able to point out some stuff you can work on, too.

The main thing I see is your Ellipses. They're actually pretty smooth and a nice shape (better than mine, for sure), but they need to fill the space more. Some of them have gaps between them in the tables and a lot of the ones in the funnels and the planes aren't touching the sides. I see this particularly in the Ellipses in Planes - you want each ellipse to touch all four sides of each plane that it occupies.

I'm actually kind of shocked by how neat your rotated boxes are - nice job! If I had to critique it, I think you're meant to have at least one more layer of boxes, further rotated. Not that I'd worry overmuch, you look like you were running out of space and this wasn't an exercise you were really expected to nail out of the gate, anyway.

Anything beyond that, I could be misleading you from my own misunderstanding, so I'll stop there. Hope this helps.

Should I move to next lesson or not?

Can you tell me what the meaning of these are? Especially the first one. How is practice a straight horizontal line helpful?

Look up drawabox, these exercises are from lesson one. The purpose of the horizontal lines is to train line accuracy and fluidity
