Hello SEBASTIANM, I'll be reviewing your work!
Lines
They look great. I can see fraying in both sides of some of your lines, especially the curved ones, and some arching too. Make sure you are drawing from your shoulder and try to consciously curve them in the other direction to fix the mistake.
Ellipses
Your ellipses are really good. Just keep in mind that ellipses should be drawn within the bounds (either of a table or of a plane) and touching each other. Also, the minor axis should cut the ellipses into two equal halves.
Boxes
I have not much to say about them. Pretty good work. However, Rotated Boxes is missing, I can't mark the lesson as complete because of this so make sure to do the exercise and upload it.

Thank you for your feedback.
My markmaking skills are improvable, I changed my pen which has already helped.
I forgot to upload "Rotated Boxes", so I did that, thanks for telling me.

Perfect! I'll mark it as complete now.
Next Steps:
(I know you already did, but just in case) move on to the 250 boxes 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.
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).
