Nice job finishing the challenge!
Everything is looking good, however, not all your boxes have line extensions. Make sure to leave enough room on a page to extend your lines as this is a crucial part of the exercise to improve.
In the future, when you draw boxes as a warmup i recommend drawing them a bit larger as well, and trying a verity of angles (as many of the ones you have here are fairly similar).
Next Steps:
I think you got what's intended out of this challenge, go ahead and move on to lesson 2.

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).
