First of all, congratulations on completing Lesson 1!
Page 1-3: Your lines look good. They consistently start on one end, and they look confidently drawn to the other end, even if there was some fraying. I did notice some of the longer lines arched a little bit. This might be due to not drawing from the shoulder.
Page 4-5: I noticed some wobble. Specifically, the lines drawn on the left side of the box. Remember it is better to draw lines that are confident, rather than accurate.
Page 6: Funnels - good job keeping the ellipses symmetrical. However, the ellipses look a little wobbly.
Page 7-8: Table of Ellipses looks good.
Page 9-10: Ellipses in Planes - for the most part, looks good. Your ellipses touch all four sides of the plane. However, I do see some wobble.
Page 11: Plotted Perspective - looks good.
Page 12-13: Rough Perspective - good job in getting your boxes to head towards the vanishing point. Remember to draw your lines confidently, and do not repeat lines.
Page 14-16: Rotated Boxes and Organic Perspective - looks good
Next Steps:
Half a page of funnels to iron out the wobbles in the ellipses section.

Thank you so much for the critique! I've attached a link to my new funnels below:

Kindly let me know if I need to make any other revisions or if I am ready to proceed to the next section.

Looks good, the funnels look a lot better and are more consistent in shape! Good work! Marking as complete.
Next Steps:
You can move on to the 250 Box Challenge. :)

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.
Staedtler Pigment Liners
These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.
Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
