Ghosted lines: The lines are straight for most of their trajectory, but they start wavering at the end. Try just following the path you ghosted with confidence instead of course correcting. at most lift your pen early.
Ghosted planes: Your lines didn't lose quality; you did a good job finding the center.
Rough perspective: Take your time to make the sure the rectangles you planned are parallel to the borders before drawing the lines, nothing wrong with adding more points. Even if you make mistakes, you should still continue with the exercise, you will learn more that way, not to mention the fact that your real drawing will always have mistakes in them. You took your time to aim for the vanishing points. No need for self-critique here, that is up to people like me.
Funnels: You left big spaces between the funnel and the ellipses, try drawing them bigger, it's better than undershooting. The funnels themselves are misaligned, consider using some rounded corner to draw them next time, what matters isn't having a hard exercise, but an effective one. Again, when drawing ellipses just go for what you ghosted, there are some signs of hesitation here and there, such as uneven lines.
Superimposed lines: The page isn't filled. It's completely normal for you to have trouble drawing with your shoulder right now, so space the exercise between sittings. Take your time to position the pen right at the starting point, that will help reduce fraying. There is some wavering, try just following what you ghosted, remember that the time for course correction is already over and all you have to do now is just follow on with confidence.
Next Steps:
Start to work on the 250 Boxes and keep working on all Lesson 1 exercises as warm ups before each sitting.
Correct me if im wrong. My warm up is-
1 page of Ghosted lines + planes
1 page of Ellipses +Funnels
1 page of Funnels
1 page of Rough + Plotted + Rotating Boxes
1 page of Super imposed line.
It takes alot of time to complete the above. Approx 3 hours. I dont think i wont have any time left for 250 box challenge.
Oh, no. You won't have to do everything at once, just work on some of them for 15 minutes at the beginning of each sitting, but make sure you keep changing them as to not leave anything behind.

Some of you will have noticed that Drawabox doesn't teach shading at all. Rather, we focus on the understanding of the spatial relationships between the form we're drawing, which feeds into how one might go about applying shading. When it comes time to learn about shading though, you're going to want to learn it from Steven Zapata, hands down.
Take a look at his portfolio, and you'll immediately see why.
