Super imposed lines
I see some minior fraying at the beginning remember when you are placing your lines make sure to slow down and place your pen in the same position. Overall these lines look good.
Ghosted lines
These can be tough at first but become easier with time. There are two main issues I see. Firstly the dots should not be all at a horizontal angle to each other. The big take of away from this excise is to learn that you need to adjust your canvas so you are always drawing from your shoulder at the most comfortable angle. By only having the dot like you have, you missed a huge learning opportunity. Second there is some wobbling and arcing lines. This singles to me you might be too focused on hitting the dot as opposed to making a confident line. Try to first make a confident line then move on to hitting the dot consistently. I would suggest you reread and retry this lesson so you can get the full benefits of it
Ghosted planes
These look good to me. I still see some wobbling but to a much lesser degree which will fad with time.
Table of Ellipses
your Ellipses are smooth and aren't overlapping good job.
Funnels
Remember that the Ellipses should be aligned with the minor axis (central line). This line should cut each ellipse into two equal parts. Good job on making them smaller as they go towards the center.
Ghosted planes with ellipses
Good these circles stay within the bounds. My suggestion to make the circles a bit smoother is to ghost them more times before placing them. For me personally when I did them I ghosted them about 10-20 times before I placed them down and that has been reduced to about 5 times as of today.
Rough perspective
Good job on the perspective its rough as intended but you seem to be getting the concept as a whole and just need more practice to get it completly. Remember to ghost your lines and draw from the shoulder to prevent the wobbling with some of your lines.
Rotated boxes
Your last attempt was good but remember that only one attemp needs to be posted with your submission. In the future make sure your boxes are the same size as the squares at the four ends but other then that this looks great.
Organic Perspective
These look good for a first attempt. My only issue is seeing that you try to draw over a few mistakes in your line angles. In the future you should just leave them and try to understand why its wrong instead of fixing it right there

First, I'm gonna be honest here, I did this lesson a while back. I don't know if information has changed since then. I'm returning now that I have supplies.

I actually drew these with the paper turned. I was drawing at the most comfortable angle for me (bottom left to upper right). I just didn't bother making the lines not parallel.

I think I will redo this lesson since it has been a while. I think I can afford official critiques, too, so I might as well do that before I move on.
Thank you for the critique!
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).
