AH
1) I can see your ghosting method for lines aren't connect to the mark where they are suppose to be...
either overpassed the mark or went into wrong direction
I suggest do some ghosting method : lines for warmup everyday
You'll see how great it is once u nail it, cuz basically everything need ghosting method
2) Ellipses inside planes are pretty wobbling , don't focus too much on touching all the corner instead ghosting for few times and draw it once u feel the rhythm and also draw it fast. same thing goes for ellipses in rows and funnel.
This actually helps me built my confidence when drawing a ellipse.
3)boxes are the same as lines ghosting , practice more the ghosting method build up the muscle memory eventually every line u draw will be clean.
Overall , I just wanna say not enough confidence for lines just need to do it fast a bit cuz the slower u draw the wobbler it gets
same goes for ellipse
Next Steps:
just keep practicing ghosting method before u start to draw 250 boxes challenge and on the following day after u take a break
It's time to draw 250 boxes!!!

Thanks for pointing them out. I did struggle with my accuracy and lines.
Thank you very much for the critique.

I think your line work is pretty confident.
Nice elipses with the intent seeming like you understand that the axis should split them down the middle. Two passes on them great.
Straight lines with no wobble.
I like your work! Keep going!
Next Steps:
I would move on to the next lesson and consider going back and re-doing the rotated boxes after completing the 250 boxe challenge.

I will re do it
Thank you for the critique.

-Your ellipses are very well done.
-Practice the ghosting method more to get smooth lines. They need not be accurate, but they must be smooth. Don't worry about overshooting or missing the mark just yet.
-Try and widen your Ellipses in the funnel as they move away from the center.
-Your Rotated boxes aren't rotated enough.
Next Steps:
Most of the problems with this exercise can be fixed by simply making confident lines and putting the ghosting method to muscle memory. Good luck!

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).
