Hi,
i will try to critique your work.
english is only my second language so i hope you can understand everything.
- superimposed lines: the lines are looking good. They are not to wobbly.
At some point, you start to fray on both ends. Stay focus and try not to rush through.

- ghosted lines: you did a good job here. the strokes are confident and you always draw a start and ending pint. which is important to apply this method.
-ghosted planes and elipses: Again you used confident strokes on the planes, which is good. Sometimes you did overshoot a little bit or start to wobble, but you will get more precise with more pracice. So don´t worry to much over it. Just keep an eye on it. Also your elipses are mostly inside the planes and you drew over them 2 times. Good job.
- table of ellipses: you did draw through the ellipses, they touch each other. Some of them overlap, but I am sure you saw this as well. Most of them are inside the bound.
-funnels: You did again a good job staying inside the bounds. You used mostly confident strokes, but sometimes you did start to wobble. Also, try to focus on the minor axes. This is a common mistake which I did myself. The minor axis should cut the ellipses in two symmetrical halfs.

-Boxes: You did a good job on the plotted perspective, for the hatching you should also try to use the ghosting method.
In the rough perspective section you started to draw through the lines again, and sometimes the lines are a little bend. Which could be happened, because you hesitated to do the strokes. Don't think about a line to much if it is not perfect. However, overall you did a good start. The boxes are not perfect, but they will get better with time. Especially after the 250 Box challenge
Let's come to the rotated box exercise. It was a good try and it is normal for most students to sturgle here a little bit. As the boxes moved further away from the center, you began to struggle more. Some boxes are not rotated at all or in the right way.

You did draw over a few lines more often, which makes it look a little bit messy.
I recommend trying this again after you finished the 250 Box challenge. Then compare the two results. I am sure you will see a lot of progress.
And last but not least, the organic perspective. There are again good confident lines, you used the ghosting method and are going from small to big. Also, good job on the rotation. There are a few minor mistakes in perspective, but you will get better with it.
There is one additional Point to the Homework overall. Try to avoid these big ink splashes. For further lessons, they can destroy a whole page of work. Please keep this in mind and change you Pen if nessecary.
I will mark your lesson as complete. You should move forward to the 250 Box challenge. Remember to use the previous lessons as a warm-up.
Have fun drawing and good luck.

A lot of my students use these. The last time I used them was when I was in high school, and at the time I felt that they dried out pretty quickly, though I may have simply been mishandling them. As with all pens, make sure you're capping them when they're not in use, and try not to apply too much pressure. You really only need to be touching the page, not mashing your pen into it.
In terms of line weight, the sizes are pretty weird. 08 corresponds to 0.5mm, which is what I recommend for the drawabox lessons, whereas 05 corresponds to 0.45mm, which is pretty close and can also be used.
