1. Lines
Superimposed Lines: Wobble is present along with arching.
Ghosted Lines: Wobble and arching are present.
Ghosted Planes: Wobble is present in some of your lines. Remember to plot all your lines.
2. Ellipses
Table of Ellipses: Some ellipses go slightly out of bounds, some ellipses also overlap each other. Almost all of the ellipses wobble here.
Ellipses in Planes: Some ellipses go slightly out of bounds and some are under-bounds. Some ellipses also wobble here.
Funnels: A good portion of your ellipses are not properly split by the minor axis here. Some are egg-shaped and lopsided. Missing some of the bounds here and there, but touching a little under half the time.
3. Boxes
Plotted Perspective: The exercise was completed accurately.
Rough Perspective: Same errors as the lines section(s). Also remember that vertical lines are perpendicular to the horizon, and that the horizontal lines are parallel to the horizon, as there are a lot of lines not adhering to this rule. On the second page the lines are adhering much better to the rule, but a few are still not correct.
Rotated Boxes: That top-left quadrant :/
Too much guessing in the top-left quadrant. There is also inconsistency in your corner placements.
Organic Perspective: Try to keep the 'Y' above 90 degrees so the boxes don't look too distorted (this appears on some of the boxes). The same errors that were present in the lines section are also here. Do not redo your lines in this exercise.
Next Steps:
Do redo the rotated boxes.
Keep doing good warmups, and these issues will go away.
Then continue on to the 250 boxes.

Thanks! Redone rotated boxes: LINK
The upper right corner is still a little weird so I can do it again if needed.
My warmups have mostly consisted of ghosted lines and I will be branching out with future warmups in order to keep working on all of the exercises.

Compared to the 1st attempt, this is a major improvement, feel free to move on.
As always, keep the above critique in mind when completing the challenge.
Next Steps:
Please continue onto the 250 boxes!
:D

Appreciated, thank you!

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).
