Hello! Let me give you some tips.
Lines
Your ghosted lines seemed a bit wobbly. However, I also noticed some improvement with your ghosted planes. Remember not worry about accuracy, as confidence is much more important. Try focusing on the end point as you draw your lines. Drawing from your shoulder helps as well.
Ellipses
Your ellipses in tables are drawn well. Some of them just need to be a little closer to each other, but not too much to overlap. The ellipses on planes should also be a little closer to the boundaries. The minor axis of the funnels need to be in the middle to keep it symmetrical. Some of the ellipses in your funnels have only been drawn once. Remember to draw through your ellipses all the way around 2 to 3 times.
Boxes
The line work for your boxes are also wobbly. As such, the same principles as the line exercises apply here as well. Confidence is key!
Next Steps:
Do the 250 box challenge. This can help with improving your lines. You can do this!

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).
