Hi Razorriome78, let's go through these section by section :)

The line section is mostly good, but I'd point out a few things you might want to focus more on future warm-ups. In superimposed lines, your lines sometimes arc a bit (I noticed that you intentionally practiced some arced lines, tho. so I'm talking about these straight ones) This might happen if you are not mostly using the shoulder pivot, but it can also happen if you did use shoulder to draw them. In this case, it can be fixed by intentionally arcing them to the opposite direction. Ghosted lines and planes looks good.

In the ellipse section, the first thing you're going to watch out is that in table of ellipse, you didn't draw through some of the smaller ellipses two to three times. (https://d15v304a6xpq4b.cloudfront.net/lesson_images/a76a8906.jpg) remember to always do that whatever the size of your ellipse is. ellipses in plane and funnels are looking good, but you can consider ghost it some more times to make it more smooth and fit.

In the boxes section, there are quite some mistakes you made, while that's perfectly normal, I still needed to point it out so you can work on it in the box challenge. plotted perspective is looking good, but on the third row you hatched on the wrong face. on rough perspective, notice that no matter how wrong your line looks, don't repeat or correct them. you forgot to use the correction method on page one, row 3 too. your rotated boxes is looking good, but vanish points could move more in the corner pieces, also you forgot the 4 final corner piece, too. on organic perspective, some of your edges are diverging from the vanish point, notice that on the box challenge.

that's still a pretty good job you did on lesson 1, I'm going to mark this as complete, no revision needed, and good luck on the box challenge!

Next Steps:

250 box challenge

thank you so much for your detailed review. i will incorporate your suggestions.

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.
Faber Castell PITT Artist Pens

Faber Castell PITT Artist Pens

Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.

Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
