Lines: These are OK. There is some fraying at the end, especially on the longer lines but I think that is pretty normal.
-
Ellipsis: You are follwoing the two key instructions of keeping the direction and looping around 2-3 times.

Perspective: Plotted Perspective is fine. With the Rough Perspective in the early examples boxes further away from the vanishing point miss their target, but this is correct in the last example which shows progress. The Rotated Boxes exercise is excellent, ift came out really well, well done. With the Organic Perspective the flow is good and suggests the 3D movement however quite a few boxes have divergent sides, which should be converging to the notional vanishing point and I think I see some darker lines which attempts to correct this (which I think is against the rules).
Overall I think you can confidently move on to the next stage (which I think is the 250 Box Challenge).

Thank you so much for the response, really appreciate it!

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).
