Your lines look good, I just have a few minor notes: keep a look out for curved lines and try to draw from your shoulder more. Your ellipses are also good, a few of them are wobbly and don't hit the edges of the thing you're drawing them in so make sure you ghost them before you draw them so you're confident and draw them confidently and smoothly when your pen hits the paper.
Your boxes look great! The rotated boxes are a bit shallow, but that's not a big deal.
Great work!

Thank you for the critique and the tips! I'll keep this in mind for my curved lines
Okay so, I'll break it down for ya in the three sections: lines, ellipses and your boxes;
1.Lines: Overall your lines look pretty smooth and you seemed to have nailed the ghosting technique to achieve good lines.
2.Ellipses: Your ellipses look pretty decent. I've noticed a bit of wobbly ones but always remember we're prioritizing on confident and smooth lines, accuracy always comes second.
3.Boxes: Your boxes overall are well-done, especially in the Rotated Boxes Exercise. It's a hard exercise but you kept all your gaps narrow and slightly more rotation would be nice. But since you've done the 250 Box Challenge as well I'm sure they would be better now.
Fantastic work! Keep it up.

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.
