Your name is the best and I'm mad it's not mine. Your lines and ellipses seem very wobbly like you're either drawing each one too slowly or you're not ghosting from start to end to find the right speed and length before creating each mark. Make sure you are using the ghosting method and drawing your lines quickly and commiting to the angle and length as soon as your pen hits the paper.
Next Steps:
You seem to have Section 3 of the homework down well, but your lines still need a bit of work. Try going back over Sections 1 and 2 and read over the common mistakes and tips before starting each excercise. One thing that can make your lines wobbly towards the end is not getting enough length ghosted before drawing your lines, so don't be afraid to overshoot for the sake of line quality over accuracy!

Color and Light by James Gurney
Some of you may remember James Gurney's breathtaking work in the Dinotopia series. This is easily my favourite book on the topic of colour and light, and comes highly recommended by any artist worth their salt. While it speaks from the perspective of a traditional painter, the information in this book is invaluable for work in any medium.
