Good job on finishing Lesson 1!
Lines
Your ghosted lines exercise has a very slight arc to it, and your ghosted planes exercise overshoots the mark from both directions a lot. Overall, though, this all looks really good.
Ellipses
The ellipses inside the planes have a bit of an accuracy problem, but this problem doesn't seem to carry over to the other ellipses exercises. Try practicing inside planes, otherwise you're pretty good with the rest of the ellipses.
Boxes
The accuracy problem with the lines exercises is still here. Try ghosting a little longer before drawing lines, and see if that helps. Otherwise you seem to have gotten the hang of vanishing points pretty well. The boxes feel very 3-dimensional, that's great.
Overall, you did a good job with everything.
Next Steps:
Do the 250 Box Challenge
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.
Faber Castell PITT Artist Pens
Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.
Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
