Congrats on completing lesson 1, your lines show some fraying which you can work on later during your warmups but the main problem was the up and down arch in your lines here and there.
When you find your lines arching in a certain direction, simply add an opposite arch to the line and it will become straight again.
Your ellipses were a bit wild initially but ýou got them back under control within the tables of ellipses exercise and by the time you did the funnels they were pretty good.
The boxes section is pretty fine, your rotated boxes seem to be converging to the same vanishing point in some places but you are still mindful of them which is the most important part.
Good job!
Next Steps:
Wish you luck on the 250 boxes challenge!

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.
