Good job on completing lesson 1. I can see that you understood all of the assignments! For the superimosed lines, the fraying looks rough at the end sometimes but good job on starting on the same point for every line. Your lines wobble sometimes but that will improve with time and practice.
The main issue that I want to point out is the ellipses. They do wobble a lot and they can look pretty rough. There are also issues with the accuracy of your placement but you should focus on confidence first. Try being more confident, dont hesitate, and keep using your whole arm to draw them. I recommend doing tables of ellipses as warmups. As well as ellipses in planes so that you can improve on wobbly lines aswell.
Your boxes also have some issues with perspective, so don't skip the 250 box challenge so you can improve on that. This challenge is also good for improving wobbly lines.
Keep practicing and you will improve! Good luck with the 250 box challenge and lesson 2.
Next Steps:
Add ellipses tables to your warmups. Move on to the 250 box challenge.

Thanks for your comments and tips, I really appreciate it. Nearly finished of the 250 box challenge, hopefully my perspective will improve.

A lot of my students use these. The last time I used them was when I was in high school, and at the time I felt that they dried out pretty quickly, though I may have simply been mishandling them. As with all pens, make sure you're capping them when they're not in use, and try not to apply too much pressure. You really only need to be touching the page, not mashing your pen into it.
In terms of line weight, the sizes are pretty weird. 08 corresponds to 0.5mm, which is what I recommend for the drawabox lessons, whereas 05 corresponds to 0.45mm, which is pretty close and can also be used.
