Hello I'll be reviewing your work.
First of all i notice your line work is comfortable though some of your lines are wobbly such as the funnels and the boxes exercises. This can all be fixed with more practice though.
You try to stay away from drawings that have an angle to them from what i can see. Your parallelograms are all facing the viewers eyes and none of them has an angle to them. This is also fixable with more practice .
However one thing i really wanted to point out was your rough perspective, you haven't understood this lesson at all. Your red lines aren't meant to go towards the horizontal line, but instead the VP which means your boxes will always have an angle to them (what you struggle with). Reread the lesson again and assign 2 more pages of rough perspective.
Your organic perspective is also off, your boxes are all the same size which creates the illusion of them all being in the same distance. The point of this exercise is to create a sense of distance to the viewer by changing the box sizes. 1 more page of organic perspective.
Good luck, ?????
Next Steps:
2x Pages Rough Perspective
1x Page Organic Perspective

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).
