Hello, congrats on completing Lesson 1.
Superimposed lines are smooth, properly lined up at the start, end of a consistent trajectory.
The ghosted lines are confident but in some of them they tend to arc a little at the end. Usually, this means that it is likely you are decreasing speed to the end, in an effort to not stop short of, or overshoot it. It is expected to draw the lines to be confident, and straight, more than accurate. Try to keep a consistent speed throughout.
Ghosted planes are looking good and well executed.
The table of ellipses and ellipses are coming along pretty good. You are doing a good job drawing through your ellipses and focusing on consistent smooth ellipse shapes.
The plotted perspective exercise you seem to have gotten what it is wanted out of it, so it’s all good.
The rough perspective you are getting a mix of confident line work here with some wobble creeping back into some of the lines. Maybe it is happening because you are more concerned with accuracy so you are slowing down to compensate. Some of the perspective estimations are quite off but that will become better with practice.
The rotated boxes exercise looks really good. You have taken the time to add some line weight/hatching. It’s big, the boxes are snug, and they rotate.
The organic perspective exercise generally looks good about the perspective and boxes variety.
Next Steps:
Good luck on 250 boxes.

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.
