Congratulations on finishing a long and difficult challenge!
I notice that you are doing a good job of leaving it at one confident line, even if it's wrong, rather than go over it. The only time you should be going over lines is around the outside edge, using ghosted lines, to add line weight. Some of your added lines are not matching, and an exercise like superimposed lines will help you gain accuracy in that. I also notice some of your corners are feathering, meaning you are having trouble stopping at the goal points when putting down your lines. Ghosted lines as a warm up exercise can help you gain more accuracy in stopping at the end points.
Overall I think you explored a variety of boxes and understood the purpose of the exercise.
Next Steps:
Move on to lesson 2. Use superimposed lines and ghosted lines as warm up exercises to work on your accuracy. Try leaving feedback on other students' homework.

Thank you very much. Really appreciate the 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.
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).
