Congratulations! You did well on finishing the first lesson, very important to note that in Drawabox course you must prioritize confidence and with practice your lines will be accurate eventually.
LINES
Overall your lines are not confident enough, accurate as it is but wobbly in many parts.
Superimposed Lines : I can see a lot of frays with your curved lines and a little bit on the straight ones, it is better if you try to be more mindful when before you are about to execute your lines.
Ghosted Lines : Few of them are confident which is great, some misses but it is ok.
Ghosted Planes : Very accurate however you seemed to be a bit more less confident here, you might want to keep your lines going and lift it up instead of slowing down and stop once u reached the end of the marked dot.
ELLIPSES
An improvement in this set, you have more confidence in drawing the ellipses.
Table of Ellipses : Nicely done, you drew them through 2 or 3 times. Great job on the page with blue ink, you kept the ellipses well inside the bounds and tight. The black one some of them are out of your bounds and doesn't touch the corner/other ellipses, however confident are visible which is great too.
Ellipses in planes : I believe half of them are executed well accurately and confident, and half of them are wobbly and a lot of slowing down in the process.
Funnels : Accurate and confident however it doesn't align with the minor axis.
BOXES
The main problem still exist, wobbly lines.
Plotted Perspective : Very well executed.
Rough Perspective : You did well marking the lines and your dot seemed to be correct on how to execute it if it's not wobbly.
Rotated boxes : You managed to rotate and keep them tight, it seems you grasp the purpose of the exercise very well.
Organic Perspective : Other than the main problem, there's slightly perspective issues but it doesn't matter much here as you will be practicing and improve on the 250 boxes challenges.
Next Steps:
Next step is 250 boxes challenge.
I want you to practice more or as a warmups : Superimposed Lines and Ghosted Lines or Planes (Careful not to grind https://drawabox.com/faq/grinding)
Don't be afraid to draw the lines quicker it will get better with accuracy! Slash your marks! https://drawabox.com/comic/1

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.
