I'll separate my critique in sections:
Lines
Super imposed lines have some common errors for the first page, fraying towards the end, but you really picked up on it on the second page. Very well done. Also, the curved lines are drawn way more confidently, which is always a plus. Your ghosted lines are well drawn, alongside your chosted planes, just a few mistakes here and there, but once again, well done!
Ellipses
Here, you did a great job, your ellipses are clean, drawn twice everywhere, the planes in the panel are drawn very snuggly inside. Only one I can see that is going outside, and very few that are too small. Your funnels are well drawn as well, just a few of them seem to not be separated on the middle.
Boxes
Very well done here as well. The Rough Perspective is just a little off on a few lines, but they are very good nonetheless. Hope that drawing the red lines has helped you see the problem. Rotated Boxes, well done as well, you have a great sense of space. The cross hatching is great as well. The Organic perspective is very great. Not seeing major problems here.
Overall
Fantastic work! Some Ghosted lines exercises should help you on your journey, but other than that, you can continue on the next challenge! Just remember the 50/50 rule, and ask if you need some pointers or help.
Next Steps:
Continue with the 250 box challenge. Some warm ups here and there and you are good to go!.

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.
Pentel Pocket Brush Pen
This is a remarkable little pen. Technically speaking, any brush pen of reasonable quality will do, but I'm especially fond of this one. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.
Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.
