Your superimposed lines look smooth and consistent. There are some slight wobbles and arcing in your ghosted lines but overall they look confident and they maintain the correct trajectory. For your table of ellipses, the spaces between your ellipses looks good but some of them have a bit of distortion so I would recommend doing a bit more ghosting so your marks will be more confident.
Some of your ellipses in planes look a bit too loose but ghosting your marks should help you place your marks with more intention. Your ellipses in funnels look fairly well aligned to the minor axis but some of your ellipses are a bit deformed which could be caused by not enough ghosting or drawing too slowly. Some of your lines for the rough perspective exercise were a bit wobbly but I noticed there was an improvement in line quality for your organic perspective exercise so good job there.
Overall, well done and I believe you are ready to move on. I noticed you already completed the box challenge so good luck with lesson 2!
Next Steps:
Move on to lesson 2.

Thanks a lot for your comment! Definitely need more practice on ghosting as it is one thing I struggle a lot.

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).
