Hi Narquelion, i will be critiquing your submission.
First of all, I have to say that some of your lines are wobbly, so try to execute them confidently and without fear.
Your ghosted Planes exercise only has diagonal lines and you should add lines in the middle ( you did it in the Ellipses in Planes exercise so it's ok ).
I also recommend you fill in the page with that exercise as shown here.

Ellipses
Some of your ellipses are not being done correctly, your ellipses should be drawn through ellipses 2 or 3 times as shown here.

Boxes
Not much to say here, most of the exercises are fine, the organic perspective is not perfect but this is something you will practice with the boxes challenge so don't worry about that.
Finally my advice is to try to do your lines with confidence, don't worry if you make a mistake, you will acquire perfect lines with practice.
Next Steps:
Draw tables of ellipses and ellipses in planes (remember to draw through your ellipses at least 2 times).

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.
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.
