This is a pretty good submission overall, but the main thing of note is that the majority of the time you've been too focused on accurate linework where you've been wobbling (see https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/8/wobbling), instead of our actual priority in this course which is smooth, confident linework (accuracy comes as the muscle memory builds up over months of practice). So, in order to make sure you understand this prioritization, I'd like you to please re-submit half a page of the table of ellipses exercise, where you've clearly focused on smooth, even shaped ellipses rather than having them perfectly accurate
Next Steps:
Please re-submit half a page of tables of ellipses

This is better, but keep in mind in your future warmups you should be aiming to keep your ellipses within the bounds but still prioritizing smooth, even shaped ellipses without wobbling or bumps in the line.
Next Steps:

Cottonwood Arts Sketchbooks
These are my favourite sketchbooks, hands down. Move aside Moleskine, you overpriced gimmick. These sketchbooks are made by entertainment industry professionals down in Los Angeles, with concept artists in mind. They have a wide variety of sketchbooks, such as toned sketchbooks that let you work both towards light and towards dark values, as well as books where every second sheet is a semitransparent vellum.
