Lines:
Your superimposed lines shouldn't have fraying at the beginning, when drawing them you should carefully place your pen at the beginning dot.
Your ghosted lines look a wobbly, you need to ghost your lines carefully until you feel confident enough to actually draw.
Your ghosted panes have the same issue.
I feel like you may have been prioritizing accuracy over confidence, since you pretty much always reach your end dots, what you're trying to build is confidence, accuracy will come with practice.
Elipses:
You didn't draw through all your elipses, it's important to do it so you can build the muscle memory.
Your funnels are a bit assymetrical, but they're fine otherwise.
Boxes:
Your rough perspective seems odd in a few boxes, did you perhaps try to draw the boxes without drawing the first square?
Your rotated perspective has a few issues, the biggest one being you didn't take into account the lower vanishing point at the center of the drawing. Which is where all boxes are supposed to be aimed at.
(Here's what I mean by that)
Aside from that, the next issue is that the corners of your boxes aren't as close as they should be.
Here's an example of what I mean: https://d15v304a6xpq4b.cloudfront.net/lesson_images/9a16c189.jpg
Perspective issues are common, but I think you may have misunderstood the exercise, because of that, I would appreciate it if you could revise the rotated boxes exercise.
Your organic perspective looks pretty good on the first page, on the second page the problem is just that you didn't vary the box's rotation at all.
Next Steps:
Revise the rotated boxes exercise.
The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. 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.
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.
