Hi AHMEDHASSAN021! I'll review your work.
Lines
Not bad, but I see some wobbliness, so try to draw more confidently. Also, in Superimposed Lines, I wouldn't recommend drawing everything from the same line, as it can be more confusing than a single point. I also see some small lines you probably did while ghosting next to the lines you drew. This is not much of a problem but keep it in mind and don't put your pen on the paper until you want to draw the line.
Additionally, I would suggest you try to draw different planes. Yours look too similar to one another and too squared. Try placing the four points like the example page.
Ellipses
Not much to say about them, they are great. Just some common mistakes that will dissapear with practice. Especially keeping ellipses within the bound and
Boxes
I like them but I see some problems. Firstly, the line weight, it should be done with more confidence and not so hard in the internal lines of the box. In Rotated Boxes the gap between boxes should be narrower. And in Rough Perspective many of the lines have mistakes you didn't have previously. That shows that more time can be put in ghosting the lines.
Next Steps:
Keep working on the exercises in warm-ups and tackle the 250 boxes challenge. Have fun drawing!

The Superimposed Lines thing was just a recommendation, nevermind. I just think is better to spread the lines across the page, because you left a lot of uncovered space.
Drawabox-Tested Fineliners (Pack of 10, $17.50 USD)
Let's be real here for a second: fineliners can get pricey. It varies from brand to brand, store to store, and country to country, but good fineliners like the Staedtler Pigment Liner (my personal brand favourite) can cost an arm and a leg. I remember finding them being sold individually at a Michael's for $4-$5 each. That's highway robbery right there.
Now, we're not a big company ourselves or anything, but we have been in a position to periodically import large batches of pens that we've sourced ourselves - using the wholesale route to keep costs down, and then to split the savings between getting pens to you for cheaper, and setting some aside to one day produce our own.
These pens are each hand-tested (on a little card we include in the package) to avoid sending out any duds (another problem with pens sold in stores). We also checked out a handful of different options before settling on this supplier - mainly looking for pens that were as close to the Staedtler Pigment Liner. If I'm being honest, I think these might even perform a little better, at least for our use case in this course.
We've also tested their longevity. We've found that if we're reasonably gentle with them, we can get through all of Lesson 1, and halfway through the box challenge. We actually had ScyllaStew test them while recording realtime videos of her working through the lesson work, which you can check out here, along with a variety of reviews of other brands.
Now, I will say this - we're only really in a position to make this an attractive offer for those in the continental United States (where we can offer shipping for free). We do ship internationally, but between the shipping prices and shipping times, it's probably not the best offer you can find - though this may depend. We also straight up can't ship to the UK, thanks to some fairly new restrictions they've put into place relating to their Brexit transition. I know that's a bummer - I'm Canadian myself - but hopefully one day we can expand things more meaningfully to the rest of the world.
