Lines
The lines look confident. Lines of the ghosted lines are also nice and confident , really straight, good job there. Lines of the ghosted planes are also nice and confident.
Ellipses
The ellipses in the table look good, I can see you struggled with the smaller ellipses. Just keep on ghosting and executing them as you do the big ones. I can also see you struggled with the narrow ones. Ghost these too and execute them with confidence. Some of yours are pointy at the top, As if you stopped the motion there then continued. You should ghost the ellipse in the place you will draw it first then once confident with the motion speedily execute the ellipse.
Funnels look good but some of the ellipses angles are a bit off.
**Boxes***
plotted perspective looks great, Consider adding lineweight on lines where boxes overlap to show which one is closer.
Rough perspective looks good.
Rotated boxes, keep referencing the lessons when using it as a warmup.
Organic perspective looks good, consider adding lineweight on lines where boxes overlap to show which one is in front as you can see in the image below

Some of the boxes perspective is off but thats what the 250 box challenge is for.
Remember to use these exercises as warmups.

I think U can move on to the 250 box challenge :)

Thanks for the feedback! Sorry I replied till now, I didn't know I had a community feedback
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.
Drawabox-Tested Fineliners (Pack of 10, $17.50 USD)
Let's be real here for a second: fineliners can get pricey. It varies from brand to brand, store to store, and country to country, but good fineliners like the Staedtler Pigment Liner (my personal brand favourite) can cost an arm and a leg. I remember finding them being sold individually at a Michael's for $4-$5 each. That's highway robbery right there.
Now, we're not a big company ourselves or anything, but we have been in a position to periodically import large batches of pens that we've sourced ourselves - using the wholesale route to keep costs down, and then to split the savings between getting pens to you for cheaper, and setting some aside to one day produce our own.
These pens are each hand-tested (on a little card we include in the package) to avoid sending out any duds (another problem with pens sold in stores). We also checked out a handful of different options before settling on this supplier - mainly looking for pens that were as close to the Staedtler Pigment Liner. If I'm being honest, I think these might even perform a little better, at least for our use case in this course.
We've also tested their longevity. We've found that if we're reasonably gentle with them, we can get through all of Lesson 1, and halfway through the box challenge. We actually had ScyllaStew test them while recording realtime videos of her working through the lesson work, which you can check out here, along with a variety of reviews of other brands.
Now, I will say this - we're only really in a position to make this an attractive offer for those in the continental United States (where we can offer shipping for free). We do ship internationally, but between the shipping prices and shipping times, it's probably not the best offer you can find - though this may depend. We also straight up can't ship to the UK, thanks to some fairly new restrictions they've put into place relating to their Brexit transition. I know that's a bummer - I'm Canadian myself - but hopefully one day we can expand things more meaningfully to the rest of the world.
