Hi Inspireanart, I will be helping you out with some critique today.
Most of your lines have very little wobble, and are drawn smoothly and confidently. Great job, and keep it up.
Your ellipses are good too. In the Ghosted plains 2 + ellipses in planes 2 there are a few ellipses that are positioned incorrectly in the plane. Here is what I mean: https://imgur.com/a/W8BWukO. Make sure to have the ellipse touch the place where the horizontal and vertical dividing line meet the edges.
Your perspective exercises look good too, especially the rotated boxes exercise. You get a pretty good since of depth with your organic perspective exercise, too.
Overall, very nice work here. It will benefit you to do the 250 box challenge, so I encourage you to tackle that even though it will be a lot of work. Good luck!
Next Steps:
Take on the 250!

Thank you so much for your feedback! The time you took for going through all of them and the correction on the ellipses exercise are appreciated. I understand the problem there now. And yes I am almost done with the 250 boxes challenge. Hope this one gets marked as completed soon. Thank you once again!

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.
On the flipside, they tend to be on the cheaper side of things, so if you're just getting started (beginners tend to have poor pressure control), you're probably going to destroy a few pens - going cheaper in that case is not a bad idea.
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.
