Lines:
your lines are confident but they have a slight tendency to bend especially towards the endpoints which becomes more noticable in your ghosted lines, planes and boxes.When you were drawing a line it looked like you would course correct when you realized you weren't going to reach your distination. Your ghosted lines, planes and boxes also show accuracy issues. Remember when using the ghosting method and shoulder pivot try to focus on making the movement with your shoulder instead of making the mark on the page.
Planes:
Ignoring your linework problems your planes are very good a must commend variety of planes you have made. You used forshortening and understand how the center of the plane can change because of this
Ellipses:
Isn't anything I feel I can criticize they are tight, accurate, and confident which is very good
Boxes:
Aside from your linework I don't think I can critique anything you have some issues with perspective but those are expected. The purpose of the 250 box challenge is to iron those out be so don't hard on yourself regarding your rough perspective attempts.
Good Job I think you are ready to move on. Just be sure to add ghosted lines, and planes to your warmps
Next Steps:
Complete 250 boxes

A lot of my students use these. The last time I used them was when I was in high school, and at the time I felt that they dried out pretty quickly, though I may have simply been mishandling them. As with all pens, make sure you're capping them when they're not in use, and try not to apply too much pressure. You really only need to be touching the page, not mashing your pen into it.
In terms of line weight, the sizes are pretty weird. 08 corresponds to 0.5mm, which is what I recommend for the drawabox lessons, whereas 05 corresponds to 0.45mm, which is pretty close and can also be used.
