Hi RGBLACK, congrats on completing lesson 1. Here's my critique
LINES
Despite some lines being sometimes wobbly or missing the mark most of them are good and were done with confidence. Seems you have more problems with long distance but overall they are well done. Remember to always take your time ghosting and then executing your mark.
ELLIPSES
The main issue is that you started rushing your ellipses, I recommend that you take your time!! You should always plan with ghosting so you can make better ellipses cause i see that some don't have the right shape or differ a lot from each attempt you do in a single ellipse. Also, remember to do only 2 or 3 attempts at each ellipse.
BOXES
Great work on the boxes! Make sure to take your time when ghosting each line and then executing them confidently, just like the ellipses. Each line is a unit of work you should put your 100% into. Also, NEVER do the same line twice unless the instructions tell you to do so! If you make a mistake while placing a mark, you have to leave it there! Don't try to correct it and move one with what you have learned from that small mistake.
I've marked this as complete, but if you have any doubts be sure to comment down below!

Thank you

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).
