Hello! Can you send them in again? The definition makes it difficult for me to see them.

Hello there congrats on finishing lesson one, now on to the critique
Lines
The superimposed lines look confident and they are only fraying on the ends, which is okay at this point. When drawing at the start place the pen on the line then extend it. Don't ghost and just put your pen down to execute the line. The ghosted lines look confident along with the lines of the ghosted planes. I notice you are having trouble reaching the end point with your lines. You could consider lifting the pen at the last moment when you reach the end point. Although just keep on practicing.
Ellipses
The ellipses look confident and well ghosted. Just try and keep them all touching in the table of ellipses, No gaps between ellipses. The ghosted plane ellipses look good overall. Keep on ghosting them. The funnels too look good. U see one funnel where there are gaps. Keep them touching but not overlapping.
Boxes
Plotted perspective looks good, do consider adding lineweight to the boxes silhouettes. Rough perspective looks solid. Keep in mind that the vertical lines of the boxes are perpendicular to the horizon and the horizontal lines of the boxes are paralell to the horizon. This will help you plot your lines/boxes.
Tight knit and volumous rotated boxes. The bottom and left are rotating better than the other sides, I see some boxes not drawn in, top left, top right and bottom right. All boxes must be drawn in. Organic perspective flows and the boxes rotate. Consider adding lineweight where boxes overlap to show which is closer.
You can head over to the 250 box challenge Good luck :)

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.
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).
