Superimposed lines
The arcs and horizontal lines are better especially the shorter ones. The vertical lines are fraying quite a bit (try to rotate the page) and the lines seem to wobble at the end (but that will be fixed with practice).
Ghosted lines
It seems like you are not confident in some of the tilted lines as there is some wobble, but most of them are are straight are quite accurate.
Ghosted planes and Ellipses in planes
The planes on the first page are made quite well, some of the tilted angles are overshooting a little, but it seems to be a little better on the second page.
Table of Ellipses
Same as the ghosted planes, I see some overshooting and overlapping but it gets better on the second page.
Funnels
The funnels are very well made, you did a good job aligning the ellipses to the axis and the shape is quite on point.
Plotted Perspectice Boxes
You repeated a few lines, but overall followed the instructions correctly.
Rough Perspective Boxes
You are repeating lines quite a bit, try using the horizon line as a reference to plot the boxes then ghost the lines until you are confident (Keep the width of the box parallel to the horizon line and the length of the box at a 90 degree angle). If you feel stuck then take a step back, relax your shoulder and once you draw a line don't change it.
Rotated Boxes
This is a hard exercise so I won't say much about it. You will get a better once you start working on the 250 box challenge
Organic boxes
Some of the boxes are repeating. but again, once you start the 250 box challenge you will get better.
I hope this was helpful, Good luck on your journey and on the 250 box challenge!
Next Steps:
Use the Superimposed lines exercise and the Ghosted lines exercise to warm up before starting.

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.
Pentel Pocket Brush Pen
This is a remarkable little pen. Technically speaking, any brush pen of reasonable quality will do, but I'm especially fond of this one. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.
Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.
