Congratulations on finishing the first lesson!
Lines - Superimposed lines look great! On the ghosted lines exercise, your lines wobble quite a bit. Don't worry about the line trajectory so much - it's more important to have a straight and confident line. Make sure to ghost your lines quickly multiple times before quickly making a mark. You can start with smaller lines and gradually work up to longer lines like you did in the superimposed lines exercise. Make sure you are also rotating the page as your lines change direction. For ghosted planes, make sure you are placing dots down for the X and cross that go through the plane. It's a good idea to place dots for every line you ghost in general. It will help train your arm and eyes.
Ellipses - A lot of your ellipses are wobbling a little bit. To address this, ghosting quickly and making quick marks are important. Don't try to correct your ellipse as you draw it, it should be difficult to do that. Ghost to get a sense of the shape and place you want, but once you start drawing it's more important to create a smooth and confident ellipse. Something I did was to focus on one ellipse shape for a row or so than gradually increase the degree. I think in the funnels exercise specifically you were more concerned about the accuracy of your ellipses and they came out more wobbly. Also, watch out that your ellipses don't warp and become flatter on one side than the other like some ellipses at the end of the funnels do. I also think you aligned the minor axes really well. For this exercise you can also try changing the degree of ellipse throughout the funnel as described in the lesson.
Boxes - Plotted and rough perspective exercises both look good. Rotated boxes is also a good start, good job on drawing through boxes! For organic perspective all I wanna say is to try and vary the shapes of your boxes more as you continue on. Good job!
Overall good job, and good luck in the future!
