Hey Popl, congrats on finishing this lesson.
Your lines seem good, with no major problems, except for some wobbling that you should be aware of. Remember to draw fast with a shoulder motion in order to keep a smooth line. This happens on your superimposed and ghosted lines.
Your ghosted planes seem slightly better, although it seems you didn't place the dots before drawing the inner lines. You should place dots for all your lines, so they act as a goal to where you're drawing the line.
Overall your ellipses are good, a couple of them show some wobbling, specially in the funnels, maybe because you were trying to force them to find in the within of the exterior lines. Keep in mind that right now you should focus more in keeping the lines and ellipses smooth, as accuracy will later come naturally, if you keep practicing correctly.
Your boxes exercises are also decent, although in some cases, specially on the organic perspective, you don't seem to be placing the dots before the lines. Remember to do this for all your lines. Also, in this exercise, you could also have overlapped some more boxes and played with the line weight, in order to highlight which one is in fron and which is in the back.
Next Steps:
250 boxes challenge.

Thank you a lot for your feedback ! Indeed I wasn't placing dots before making my lines, so I'll make sure to keep that and your other comments in mind, for the next exercises.

Ellipse Master Template
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.
