Hello Etihw
I'll review your submission
Lines: in your superimposed lines the shorts and medium lines are well done, however you should focus a bit more on the longer ones, they arch a bit and are not as compact as the shorter ones.
If you find it difficult to make them not to arch in different directions, try to counter it with consciously drawing in the opposite direction. (so if they arch up try to draw them a bit down)
The lines of the ghosted lines exercise are well done, confident and flow well, however I think it is better to draw them in a more orderly manner a bit like you did in the superimposed lines , or like in uncomfortable's example : https://d15v304a6xpq4b.cloudfront.net/lesson_images/d120d6a5.jpg
Ellipses: your ellipses have a good flow in general, however it looks like you need to them a lot more, I'm manly pointing to your second page of tables of ellipses: https://i.imgur.com/KnuiacH.jpeg here there are some errors I'd like to point out:
1) drawing your ellipses with more than two or three strokes,
2) your ellipses go out from their "confinements" and invade other ellipses
Now your first page of the exercise is much better done, however it seems to me you still need to ghost them a bit more.
As for the ellipses in planes, you drew them well, however it still shows the need to ghost them more.
About funnels I would have liked to see some more of them, remember that the minor axis (the line at the center) needs to cut the ellipses in half.
Boxes: good work with the rough perspective, with practice your extension lines should start to be more precise in reaching the vanishing point, keep practicing!
Also well done with the rotating boxes, I advise you however to keep also practicing it in your warm ups.
There's one thing I'd like to point out however: you should apply line weight and shading the inner planes of the boxes to make them stand out better. like in the example : https://d15v304a6xpq4b.cloudfront.net/lesson_images/9a2db6a0.jpg
Next Steps:
You did well in general, however I think you need to work a bit more with the ellipses.
Please draw 1 other page of tables of Ellipses.
Make sure to ghost them thoroughly and take as much time as you need.

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.
