Hello and congrats on completing lesson one. English is not my first language so i will copy paste from official critique quide.
ROTATED BOXES
Every now and then we'll come across a student who has missed some boxes - often the absolute corners, as these are especially challenging and confusing to draw. If a student has neglected to complete the whole set, they should be encouraged to complete it before moving on, and they should also be reminded that any fears over 'ruining' a page of exercises defeats the purpose of them being exercises in the first place.
ELIPSES IN PLANES

Overall this was a really solid submission. I think you are understanding most of the concepts these lessons are trying to convey quite well. Keep up the good work!
Next Steps:
I encourage you to finish the rotated boxes excersice and keep practising elipses. Next step is the 250 boxes challenge.

To complete the rotated boxes page, should I just add the 4 absolute corners or are there other areas I should complete?

Just the 4 absolute corners.

That makes sense. Thank you!
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.
