Your ellipses are confidently drawn and stay within their boundaries. Your lines are confident although some do curve every now and again.
Your rotated boxes exercise could use more rotation on the cubes in the first layer surrounding the center cube. Their distant edges do not shorten very much which causes them to appear parallel to the center cube.
Keep it up and do the 250 box challenge!
Next Steps:
Do the 250 box challenge to strengthen your grasp of perspective and to practice rotating boxes in space. Then move onto lesson 2.

Lines: I recognize a small hook/curve on the start of some of your ghosted lines. I dont know where they come from, but try to keep your whist locked and just draw in one direction. Do not correct the direction on the way.

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.
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.
