if its a clear, visible color, and if you make sure to only use one color for each drawing / page, you should be fine!
Focus more on depht! The points further away should be smaller than the ones in front, otherwise they end up looking 2d. Your line quality could also be better, but that comes with time. Try to fake confidence and pretend you know exactly how to draw your lines, even if you can't.
Next Steps:
Do a few arrows entierly focused on adding depth, and creating the illusion of 3d.
This recommendation is really just for those of you who've reached lesson 6 and onwards.
I haven't found the actual brand you buy to matter much, so you may want to shop around. This one is a "master" template, which will give you a broad range of ellipse degrees and sizes (this one ranges between 0.25 inches and 1.5 inches), and is a good place to start. You may end up finding that this range limits the kinds of ellipses you draw, forcing you to work within those bounds, but it may still be worth it as full sets of ellipse guides can run you quite a bit more, simply due to the sizes and degrees that need to be covered.
No matter which brand of ellipse guide you decide to pick up, make sure they have little markings for the minor axes.
