your lines are confident and smooth which is fine, but you didn't carry over these qualities on your ellipses which are pretty wobbly, especially your circles.
Your box section has several problems.
**In the rough perspective** your boxes are diverging instead of converging towards the vanishing point.
your boxes are not rotating, instead they are converging to the same vanishing point.
Next Steps:
while you did struggle a lot with the box section, the 250 boxes challenge is there exactly to help you out!
Good luck on your journey!

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).
