Hello, I'll be critiquing you :)
Lines
-Starting with the superimposed lines, you maintained much confidence with the strokes. There is also the expected fraying at one end, but this will usually disappear with more practice.
-For the ghosted lines you had confidence and you kept a consistent trajectory regardless of whether it hit the end point or not. Overall, these look great.
-The ghosted planes are great as well and you committed to your lines nicely.
Ellipses
-Your table of ellipses is tidy rather than rushed and you kept them all symmetrical and well rounded as needed.
-Your ellipses in planes is looking confident, but you should always aim to keep them symmetrical and well rounded as I said above. It doesn't necessarily matter if they touch all contact points on the plane since you can only change the width and what position the ellipse is in.
-In the funnels excercise you linework is also confident, but some of them are a bit unaligned. These will follow the same rules as I said previously, but this will all improve with practice.
Boxes
-Everything in the boxes section looks good and any issues you may be having here should be mentioned in the 250 Box Challenge.
I will mark your lesson as complete and you should be able to move on :)

Thanks a lot! Much appreciated!
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.
