You're work was fine if it really is your first time drawing. Some of your boxes were actually really well done as a beginner. You've spent a lot of time and effort on some of these, and I want you to keep at it!
My one issue in your work has to be cleanliness, such as your super-imposed lines and ellipses. You only to go over your ellipses twice not three times. It will make the ellipse more rough if you do. As with the super-imposed lines they tend to be off at the very end which also gave off the impression of being rough.
Overall, I think that you are prepared to polish your boxes even further and do the 250 boxes challenge. Do you best!
Next Steps:
Before you move on to 250 boxes challenge I would like to see you do the funnels exercise again as you need the center of the funnel to have the smallest degree and the ends of the funnels to have the largest degree. With your work they all look to have the same degree but just larger.

Thank you so much for your critique!

I still find it a little difficult, because I don't really know how much the degree should change, but hopefully I did better this time.
Yes your ellipses are definitely a lot better and cleaner. The amount that degree increases is arbitrary so you don't have to worry. You only need to show that the ellipses degrees are increasing here but for future reference you should try to control how much the degree changes from now on.
Again, well done.
Next Steps:
Remember to keep your submissions clean!
Onto the 250 boxes challenge.
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).
