I'll be doing your critique today
You should be drawing your lines with more confidence, both your lines and ellipses are all wobbly. Remember when ghosting and preparing to make your mark you're allowed to take all the time you need and go at the speed that best lets you get comfortable with the stroke you're making. That way when it comes to actually putting your pen to paper you have the confidence to push forward and understanding of the mark you're making.
You have a pretty good understanding of perspective looking at the organic perspective and rough perspective exercises, but there's always room for improvement. Don't worry about it too much right now though, you'll improve at it with the coming challenges given to you to overcome. Just always review remember the principles of perspective to keep in your back pocket. Nothing wrong with reviewing theory when you need a refresh.
You also completely forgot to do your table of ellipses OR rotated boxes, which is one of the pieces of homework assigned to you. Remember to include and complete ALL of the work you're asked before submitting for critique. None of this course is a race, it's a personal marathon, all of it will still be here when you finish and you won't be done at all once you submit your work anyways. taking a very long time is much more preferred than rushing yourself and doing worse work than you're capable of.
Next Steps:
Please complete the missing Rotated Boxes assignment and submit it here. Or if you have done the work but didn't include it, please send the work you did the first time, then we can continue from there.

Oh and include your Table of ellipses too, I didn't notice you forgot that homework too and that's my mistake.

Hi Allipses,
Thank you so much for your feedback. I've revewed my work and I think I understand why you'd noticed the "wobbliness" ;)
I'll be concentrating on this point in my future exercises.
As for the ellipses, they got skipped out when I made a bulk-upload on imgur: the files were too large. Sorry for that. I scaled them and uploaded again, along with the rotated boxes.
Thank you! :)

Hi Allipses,
I might have replied to the wrong comment, so I'll copy my message here as well:

I'll be concentrating on this point in my future exercises. Do you think I could make some more exercises directed towards exactly this problem?

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.
