Hello Delufra, congratulation on completing Lesson 1. Here are my thoughts,
ghosted lines: at times there is arching. As long as you are drawing with your shoulder this is acceptable and will get better at it with practice. You can also choose to arc slightly in the opposite direction to counter that effect. There is a bit of wobble too, just remember to keep executing your strokes fast and with confidence.
ghosted planes: occasionally the cross sections will be off-center, just remember to give it a bit of thought before placing those marks down.
table of ellipses: remember to go over your ellipses multiple times (2-3) and try to keep them as tight as possible. Most of the time you are getting it right, but occasionally there will be one or two attempts that are the exception.
rough perspective: most lines are correct however a slight wobble can be perceived.
organic perspective: you seem to have struggled a bit with this exercise. Remember that your boxes should be growing at a consistent rate as the get closer to the viewer. Keep your strokes smooth and confident, even if you miss your intended target.
notes:
at times you'll go over lines in an attempt to correct them, don't. Just move on as if it had turned out as intended.
Conclusion:
Overall, you seem to have grasped the concepts of the lesson and I will gladly mark this submission as complete. Just remember to incorporate this exercises as warm ups for subsequent lessons. Good luck on the 250 Box Challenge.
Best of luck moving forward

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.
