Hey! pretty dang good job Atorito, to go by the lessons one by one;
1) your superimposed lines are good, fraying is natural (I'm still fraying when I practice them haha), but you're starting from the same point which is very good.
2) Your ghosting lines are again quite good, you seem to often be overshooting the point, which is an issue that seems to come up with your ghosting planes which I'll get to. The last point is confidence, there seems to be a slight arch when it comes to the ghosted lines, only some of them, and it's relatively close to the start, are you definitely ghosting the lines and then smoothly going into the line with confidence?
3) Lastly the ghosting planes, the lines again have a slight bowing to them, which makes them look less boxy, and you seem to be overshooting many of the points, are you definitely drawing from your shoulder? I often have to make myself conscious of the fact that I need to use my shoulder, and then think about it as I do it. Other than those small points though the planes look good!
Personally I'd say you've gone a good job overall, technique could be worked on but that takes practice, but I could see improvement even on the second page of planes, so that's a good start! You can move onto the next lessons now!

You're very welcome!! keep up the amazing work!!
The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
PureRef
This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.
When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.
Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
