Hello, I will be critiquing your lesson 1
Lines
-Starting off with your superimposed lines, I see they are confidently excecuted and they all start at one clear point. I do see that there is some wavering, but this will improve with more practice.
-Your ghosted lines look confident in some areas, but I also do notice some wobble at the ends. It is always a priority to give them one consistent trajectory. Since there are only a few of these lines, I believe it will be nothing to worry about as you will improve with practice.
-Ghosted planes are similar to your ghosted lines and you did better at committing to the linework.
Ellipses
-Tables of ellipses look rather tidy and confidently drawn. One thing I would like to mention is that your ellipses should be well rounded and symmetrical no matter what position they are in. All you can do is change the width and what position they are in. Otherwise, great job.
-Ellipses in planes will follow the same rules as I said above and I do see that you have drawn these ellipses more confidently. For some of these, I would like to point out that it is not necessary that the ellipse is modified to touch all contact points of the plane.
-For the funnels excercise, I see that your ellipses are turning out a lot better. You did well with keeping them well rounded and tidy.
Boxes
-For your rough perspective your line quality is turning out very well. I do see that some of the estimates for the vanishing points are a bit off, but this will definetely improve.
-Rotated boxes are looking great and I believe it will help to give yourself some more room to ghost and to put some hatching lines in to further define the shapes. Overall, this is a great attempt.
-Lastly, you did good on the organic perspective and any issues I may not have mentioned in the box section will be addressed later in the 250 Box Challenge.
*Use this lesson in your warmup routine
I'm going to go ahead and mark this lesson as complete and you can move on. Great job :)

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).
