Hiya THYME_TOWN, your work is absolutely astounding, here are some notes that might help you:
"Ghosting Lines" exercise: The accuracy is great, the strokes are confident and smooth, but there are some arched lines and several of your lines tend to slightly curve when reaching one of the two ends. Do try to keep the pen's trajectory consistent from one end to another!
"Plotted Perspective" excercise: The work is great, but some hatching line patches perplex me. Hatching lines should be used to indicate which face of the box is facing the viewers, I don't know if that is your intention or not.
For other exercises, they are already outstanding and meet every criterion that Drawabox has given out, and I don't really have any comments on them, but practice would definitely improve your accuracy and line confidence in those exercises as well as the two aforementioned exercises.

Thank you sincerely for critiquing my work! I did receive your critique, and I thank you for your efforts in helping me... I have just completed the 250 box challenge in which I noticed how much my line work improved, I hope you are able to see my improvement as much as I did whereas I believe I am ready for Lesson 2! Thank you!
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.
