Hey there,
Lines
Superimposed Lines - Lines are smooth and confident, there are some bowing tho in longer lines; this can be due to not using shoulders.
Ghosted Lines - Looks great!
Ellipses
Tables of Ellipses - Ellipses are well done, they are confident, not overlapping and are kept within bounds.
Ellipses in Planes - Looks great, its good that you prioritize confidence over accuracy
Funnels - The minor axis cuts them in half, they are tightly packed together and look confident.
Boxes
Plotted Perspective - Alright!
Rough Perspective - Looking good!
Rotated Boxes - Amazing job on this one
Organic Perspective - Good job!
Next Steps:
You did great, everything was well. You can proceed with the 250 box challenge. After seeing your rotated box and organic perspective, this would be a piece of cake for you :D

Thank you very much. :) But yea I had trouble with using the whole arm at first and using the elbow mostly but will try to focus on that even more.
The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. 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).
