Hello, congratulation on finishing the first lesson.
Lines
The superimposed lines have confident flow, but some of the lines have fraying on both ends, especially the longer and the curve ones, make sure to take your time to position your pen before executing the line.
Keep practicing the ghosted line as your warm-up to improve accuracy.
Ellipses
Keep practicing your ellipses, and make sure to go through them 2 to 3 times (2 is preferable). Draw from your shoulder and remember, confident, flowing lines before accuracy.
Boxes
Except for the plotted perspective. The only issue in the boxes exercise is wobbly lines, make sure to take your time to ghosting the line before you execute it.

The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. 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
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.
