Hi!
Lines
They generally look good. You followed the instructions and kept them consistent and nicely flowing, for the superimposed lines I would suggest doing more curves (try like S shapes to) but really nothing to worry deeply about. For some of the lines on the planes and ghosted lines exercise there's a tiny curvature that may be the result of holding the pen too tightly. Keep in mind that tension doesn't increase accuracy and a relaxed wrist is a happy non tendinitis wrist! And one last bit that is never bad do reinforce, for the times you overshoot the dots try to lift your pen out of the page immediately after reaching the end point, may help.
Ellipses
The tables look neat and clean, you understood the main gist of the exercise by mostly respecting the boundaries, not overlapping too much and strived to keep them fitting tightly, it shows that you payed attention. Same goes for the funnels exercise, however the minor axis line should cut the ellipses in two different halves and sometimes the line itself is not 'perfect' aligned with the funnel but its just a reminder more than anything else. One last thing is that some ellipses look like you drawn a million times over rather than 3~4 but for real I'm not sure if that checks, anyway make sure to not do a million times.
Boxes
This section is mostly to help introducing you to the concept of 3D space and the position of objects in said space therefore as long as you followed the instructions and did not deviate from the path you're good. The boxes on the rough perspective have way more wobbly lines than the previous ones, I get it. There's much more room for hesitation here than just drawing straight lines and planes because there are more lines and more angles to connect and make sense within each other therefore the ghosting method here is essential to develop confidence when executing the lines.
I see that the organic perspective has much more confident and consistent line work in the boxes, good job! This is hard and some boxes vary too little in size for some cases, at least not enough to make it relevant, but for now it is pretty ok.
Final thoughts
You understood the purpose of the lesson as a whole and for me you're good to proceed to teh 250 box challenge! Good Luck!
Next Steps:
Next stop 250 box challenge! Good luck, drink water, relax your wrist and don't grind!

hi, thank you so much for the critique.
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.
The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw
Right from when students hit the 50% rule early on in Lesson 0, they ask the same question - "What am I supposed to draw?"
It's not magic. We're made to think that when someone just whips off interesting things to draw, that they're gifted in a way that we are not. The problem isn't that we don't have ideas - it's that the ideas we have are so vague, they feel like nothing at all. In this course, we're going to look at how we can explore, pursue, and develop those fuzzy notions into something more concrete.
