Nice work overall! Your lines section is solid. Confident execution, and a solid use of the ghosting method to maintain control over your accuracy. When you get into your ellipses, you do start to get a little stiff - this can occur by simply drawing too slowly, by not applying the ghosting method (and therefore not executing your marks with a confident, hesitation-free stroke) or by drawing from your wrist instead of your shoulder.
Skipping on down to your boxes, your work here looks solid except one issue with your rotated boxes. You're not quite covering the full range of rotation along the major axes, as explained here.
Other than that, great work.
Next Steps:
Move onto the 250 box challenge.

Proko's Figure Drawing Fundamentals
Stan Prokopenko's had been teaching figure drawing as far back as I can remember, even when I was just a regular student myself. It's safe to say that when it comes to figure drawing, his tutelage is among the best.
Remember that when you agree with something another user has written, you are putting your own reputation behind it.
Consider the following:
- If it's homework feedback, does it address each section of the lesson/challenge, or only briefly touch upon one or two exercises?
- Does it provide clearly defined next steps for the student to follow?
- Have you read through it thoroughly, or are you simply agreeing so the student earns a superficial badge?
- Replies you agree with will be visible in your sketchbook
Agreeing blindly just to be nice is a good way to get your permissions associated with this function revoked, so make sure that you genuinely feel that the response is beneficial to the student.
