Hi, I'd like to start off by mentioning this is my first time giving feedback so take everything I say with a grain on uneducated salt.
I noticed on the table of ellipses you've only drawn through the smaller ellipses 2 times, remember in this exercise regardless of how small the ellipses are you should still draw through them 3 times. Apart from that there not much else I'd recommend in term of improvement.
It seems like you've understood all the concepts, your ghosted lines are strong, you have an understanding of perspective and vanishing points.
Remember I'm new to all this, so I would suggest listening to others aswell.
Next Steps:
I'd recommend moving onto the 250 box challenge, good luck.

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.
