Hi REXTHEBOI.
Lines
Superimposed Lines looks good. There is no fraying on both ends, so good job. The fraying at the end can be fixed with more practice. The only thing that caught my attention is that your lines are a bit short. You can try to draw longer lines, it will help you get more comfortable with them so try to do that as you include this exercise into your warm-ups.
In Ghosted lines, I found the number of the lines a little small, you could've drawn more. And I see that you fixed some of your lines by drawing them multiple times. Try not to go over your lines even if the line is wrong as it draws more attention to the mistake. Your lines are a bit woobly. You can look at Uncomfortable's explanation about woobly lines, and how to make them smoother.
I liked you Planes. There are still some aching and woobling in your lines but they started to look more confident.
Ellipses
In this part, especially in the Tables of Ellipses you seemed to forgot drawing through your ellipses at least two times. You can look at here to understand the importance of drawing through. Other than this they looked nicely shaped, they are not overlapping, and they are sitting snugly in their allotted spaces. I also liked how the angles are consistent with each other. But I am not sure about the pattern where you go with a big ellipse and then with a small one. As I saw in Uncomfortable's example, the sizes of the ellipses change with the shape of their border so maybe next time try to arrange the size of the ellipses by using the borders of the shape that surrounds them.
In Elipses in Planes you seemed to draw through some ellipses more than three times which is the recommended number But you made a nice job staying in the border of the planes, they are fitting nicely, and touching all four edges.
In Funnels, the alignment of the ellipse with the minor axis is good but some of them weren't aligned perfectly so be careful about that. One of the funnels looked a bit rushed, take your time with them.
Boxes
In Rough Perspective your lines seem more wobbly and they don't converge to the vanishing point. Try to use the ghosting method and plan your lines before drawing them. This way they will be more smooth and their direction will be more accurate. Also don't forget, the vertical lines should be perpendicular to the horizon and the horizontal ones should be parallel to the horizon as this is one point perspective.
InRotated Boxes I like that you kept the boxes close together and kept the gaps between them consistent. Also, it seems like the boxes on the corners on the lower half not rotating enough. Check this part to make sure you are rotating your boxes enough. And don't forget to keep doing this exercise as your warm-up.
Your Organic Perspective has only two frames on each page, where it should be three. The boxes at the front are a little smaller. Try to start with bigger boxes and then go smaller as they move away. Also, you can draw more boxes, overlapping them with each other. There are some perspective issues but you can easily work on them with 250 Box Challenge.
Next Steps:
You made a good job in general but since your 'Organic Perspective' is a little less than suggested, draw one more page but this time draw three frames. After you posted it here, feel free to start 250 Box Challenge. Good luck :)

Thank you for uploading it. I liked the second frame. You created a nice illusion of 3D space. In the last frame, you can make the middle ones a little bit smaller to make them look like they are going further away in space. Also, try to be more confident with your lines, draw them a little bit faster, or use the ghosting method more. This way, your lines will be smoother. Other than those, it looks good. Congratulations on finishing Lesson 1. You can go ahead and start the '250 Box Challenge'. I suggest you take your time with the challenge as it might become tedious. If you feel bored, take a break and draw for fun for a while.

You can start 250 Box Challenge. Good Luck :)
Thanks for the response
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).
