Hi ! Your lines exercises look great.
On the elipses ones you are getting a bit of overlapping, and the second pass through each elipse doesn't look that clean. To avoid this, try ghosting more before drawing each elipse.
On your rotated boxes you got the first "layer" of boxes (the ones adjacent to the middle box) right, but when it comes to the outer boxes it seems you are not getting enough rotation in. To improve on this you can use more aggresive movement of the vanishing points towards which each outer box points to. You should also reduce the area of the face that's facing outwards, closer to the edge, like in the box that's in the middle of the page and far to the right. The rest of your boxes exercises look fine.
Overall nice job ! I think you can continue to the 250 boxes challenge.
Faber Castell PITT Artist Pens
Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.
Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
