Hello! I'm Starr and I'm here to give you some feedback.

Lines:

You did well at starting your superimposed lines at the same point, and your lines are smooth and confident!

The same can be said about your ghosted lines and planes exercises. You did well at establishing your start and end point and aiming your lines to their intended targets. Your lines seem to arch a bit, but this will improve as you practice.

Be sure also to fill your pages and do only the amount that is specified by the exercise. I don't think the 3rd page of superimposed lines was necessary and you could have added more to your ghosted planes exercise.

Ellipses:

Great job at maintaining a confident stroke and an even shape in your ellipses! They are really well done. You seem to overshoot your ellipses slightly, but that's something that will improve over time. Please keep in mind though that you are only supposed to draw through each ellipse 2-3 times (2 being the most encouraged), no more and no less. Also, do not draw ellipses within ellipses.

Boxes:

Again, good job at keeping your freehanded lines smooth and confident. One thing I would like to point out is that you should keep your hatching simple and going in one direction, no cross-hatching. I see also that you used white-out on your plotted-perspective exercise. Do no try to fix your mistakes, either by redoing them or trying to cover them up. Simply move on and continue to the next step.

Overall, great work! You followed the exercises very well and i believe you're ready to move on.

Next Steps:

Move on to the 250 Box Challenge.

A lot of my students use these. The last time I used them was when I was in high school, and at the time I felt that they dried out pretty quickly, though I may have simply been mishandling them. As with all pens, make sure you're capping them when they're not in use, and try not to apply too much pressure. You really only need to be touching the page, not mashing your pen into it.

In terms of line weight, the sizes are pretty weird. 08 corresponds to 0.5mm, which is what I recommend for the drawabox lessons, whereas 05 corresponds to 0.45mm, which is pretty close and can also be used.
