Hi, congratulations for ending Lesson 1, alright here's some feedback:
Lines: In Super Imposed lines and Ghosted lines you followed the steps correctly, I can see that some of the lines are wobbly, this is usually because you’re not using your shoulder or you’re not used to using it. With practice you will end up getting used to using it. In the ghosted planes I can see some arching lines, it can be fixed by trying to arch consciously to the opposite direction.
Ellipses: In table of ellipses and in ellipses in planes I can see that ellipses are drawn through more than 2 or 3 times. In funnels I can see that there is distance between the ellipses in some of them, and that some of the ellipses are a bit rotated out of the minor axis.
Boxes: Good job with rough perspective exercise, the only thing is that you repeated many lines in some boxes. In rotated boxes you have also followed the steps correctly, although I can see that some boxes are not rotating. In plotted perspective there are distortion on some boxes: https://d15v304a6xpq4b.cloudfront.net/lesson_images/202962fd.jpg. Also good job on the Organic perspective too, I can see the boxes going from big to small.

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.
