Hi, I'll critique your lesson for you today.
Lines:
Not much to say other than that there is some slight wobble to your lines. That's to be expected at this stage but remember to use your arm as a pivot and ghost as much as needed to make a smooth stroke with your pen. Also in the ghosted lines exercise you shouldn't connect each line to form one big web, it's expectedthat you just make a lot of free floating lines instead.
Ellipses:
It seems you're doing fine, however I would say to fill in more of the empty space in your table with smaller ellipses.
Boxes:
Nothing much, just line wobbliness. Issues with this and also with perspective will be worked on in the coming lessons.
Next Steps:
The 250 box challenge as well as warm ups using these exercises.
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).
