Hello Observer, thanks for submitting :D - I will list through the critiques of the exercise that you did.
LINES
So far your lines are fine, not much to fuss over. It doesn't arch, it seems to be plotted reasonably, it doesn't fray first contact too. From superimposed lines to planes. Its going to the right direction
ELLIPSES
Your ellipses served the purpose of the exercise - confident lines, drew through the ellipses 2 - 3 times. (Ellipses in Tables) Though what I can add is ellipses should be in bounds on the tables perfectly, (Ellipses in Funnels) minor axis should cut the ellipses symmetrical in 2 equal halves - these are the mistakes that you are struggling. My advice is to not rush and ghost the ellipses even if it takes quite long.
Get a comfortable angle, visualize and ghost your ellipse until you are sure what are the shape that you want and seamlessly draw it through the process. Make sure to draw them confidently too :)
If your shoulders are stiff, you can do warm up or experiments with little exercises before drawing them. Spin your shoulders, try making few ellipses before you jump on the submission homework (and don't grind them since that's not the point of this exercise). Overall it's passable and could be fixed in the future if you take account of these more mindfully
BOXES
Your boxes lines are fine, so no critique for that.
Rough perspective is not much to add, it served its purpose. Height lines are perpendicular to horizon and so are width lines pararell with the horizon, and it has correction line method. Pretty good.
Rotated boxes is going in the right direction, no direct critique. Boxes are rotating, corners are kept close.
Organic perspective illusion are existent very evidently, alongside beginner perspective mistakes that are expected. It's doing fine
Next Steps:
Go and do the 250 boxes lessons before lesson 2. Since you said your ellipses are troubling, 250 boxes doesn't focus much on ellipses and I'm sure you can do it. Meanwhile you can exercise/warm up some ellipses and tighten your gap, but don't grind it - do it as necessary as possible (posting it here is optional)
If you have any questions, feel free to reply again. Wishing you luck.
