Your lines look confident and accurrate, no wobbling, arching or fraying on both ends. One small thing, you haven't done any curves in the superimposed lines exercise.
Your ellipses are drawn confidently and drawn through. You have a tiny bit of overlapping here and there on the ellipse tables. On the funnels the minor axis seems a little bit off on the top right funnel.
Your boxes are drawn through where they need to. Overall I don't see any mistakes on the boxes section
(I wrote this critique based on Elodin's guide for Lesson 1)

I think you can move on to Lesson 2

Hello, thank you for taking the time to write this critique. You are correct about one of my funnels, I hadn't measured when I was creating the guidelines and my line was not centered between the curves. Again, thank you for the critique

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen
This is a remarkable little pen. Technically speaking, any brush pen of reasonable quality will do, but I'm especially fond of this one. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.
Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.
