Hi Tommy,
I checked your work and i have some tips for you. Try to follow instructions which are in exercise. When you are using ghost lines, try to finish your lines with moment when you reach a dot.
For ellipses, which you are putting inside planes, make sure you "Draw trough" each ellipse 2 or 3 times before lifting pen. It will help you with getting nice and smooth lines in a future drawings.
I hope my tips are going to be helpful for you to get your drawing better.
with Regards

you did a good job but the exercise requested 2 pages and you need to be more confident on the marks you make by making your marks thicker
it is an exercise to train you to draw better ellipse not to draw a clean artwork.
Next Steps:
draw with thicker lines.

Hi, thank you for the feedback, I've only just realized that I only just uploaded this page, when I was attempting to upload all the homework for lesson 1, I'm actually at the point of submitting lesson 2 homework.
Regardless I have revised what you asked and tried to make my lines a little thicker:
Let me know what I can improve.
Thanks again.

nice work your lines are more confident and don't worry about the ellipse touching all sides of the square when u do the 250 cylinder challenge you will improve a lot
Anyway keep up the good work and keeping doing the exercises in lesson 1 as you do lesson 2 I find it really helpful.
Next Steps:
Take 30minutes before doing the next lesson exercises to do some of lesson 1 exercises

Okay, thank you very much. Would you recommend that I try the 250 cylinder challenge now then?

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.
Drawabox-Tested Fineliners (Pack of 10, $17.50 USD)
Let's be real here for a second: fineliners can get pricey. It varies from brand to brand, store to store, and country to country, but good fineliners like the Staedtler Pigment Liner (my personal brand favourite) can cost an arm and a leg. I remember finding them being sold individually at a Michael's for $4-$5 each. That's highway robbery right there.
Now, we're not a big company ourselves or anything, but we have been in a position to periodically import large batches of pens that we've sourced ourselves - using the wholesale route to keep costs down, and then to split the savings between getting pens to you for cheaper, and setting some aside to one day produce our own.
These pens are each hand-tested (on a little card we include in the package) to avoid sending out any duds (another problem with pens sold in stores). We also checked out a handful of different options before settling on this supplier - mainly looking for pens that were as close to the Staedtler Pigment Liner. If I'm being honest, I think these might even perform a little better, at least for our use case in this course.
We've also tested their longevity. We've found that if we're reasonably gentle with them, we can get through all of Lesson 1, and halfway through the box challenge. We actually had ScyllaStew test them while recording realtime videos of her working through the lesson work, which you can check out here, along with a variety of reviews of other brands.
Now, I will say this - we're only really in a position to make this an attractive offer for those in the continental United States (where we can offer shipping for free). We do ship internationally, but between the shipping prices and shipping times, it's probably not the best offer you can find - though this may depend. We also straight up can't ship to the UK, thanks to some fairly new restrictions they've put into place relating to their Brexit transition. I know that's a bummer - I'm Canadian myself - but hopefully one day we can expand things more meaningfully to the rest of the world.
