Well done for completing Lesson 1! Very nicely done, so just a few quick notes from me:
Lines
Your linework is veery confident which is good. It’s nice to see that in the ghosted lines section you attempted some whole page width lines. Be careful that you don’t repeat lines (as in ghosted planes section) and be careful not to overshoot on both ends when drawing a ghosted line - place the pen down as close to the starting point as possible.
Ellipses
In general your ellipses are quite confident (especially in the ellipses in planes section), although some have a bit of wobble (most obvious in the tables of ellipses and funnels sections). Make sure to draw confidently, using your shoulder and don’t rush.
Boxes
Plotted perspective is nice and clean. On the rough perspective try to draw the horizontal lines parallel to the horizon line - some do tend to skew. Rotated boxes is good but you’re missing the outermost corner boxes.
Well done!
Next Steps:
Good job! You can move onto the 250 box challenge.

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.
Faber Castell PITT Artist Pens
Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.
Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
