Congratulations on completeing lesson 1.
-
Super-imposed Lines : Looks good, there is some arching in some of the lines but it is fine in the early stages. Next time try to ghost a few times before starting as it will help in building muscle memory for next time you draw.
-
Ghosted lines : Looks completely fine to me, I am not saying that its perfect but this is going to a right path.
-
Ghosted Planes + Ellipses in Planes : Planes looks good but I think it is drawn in hurry. Try to give time to what you do. Ellipses are the same. Ellipses are smooth and confident, some of the Ellipse have some bluge on one side but its fine.
-
Table of Ellipse : This exercise is meant to done in order to build up muscle memory for different kinds of Ellipse, but the tables looks good to me.
-
Funnels : These are good but Ellipse on the corners of the page have some error but thats is fine, it will be fine after some practice.
-
Plotted Perspective : Good job (Easy confidence boost)
-
Rough Perspective : Lines look messy on the boxes and the boxes on the far end need some time. Try not to guess but to know where the boxes' lines will go(towards VP).
-
Rotated boxes : I know that its is a hard exercise but yours' turns out to be pretty good.
-
Organic Perspective : Looks fine to me, it will be even better as you go through the 250 boxes challenge and you will know what were the mistakes done.
Well nice work done! Its a pass from me and hope you continue doing this.
Next Steps:
Next would be doing the 250 boxes challenge along with a warm-up routine which include all the parts of the exercises.
Do warm-up atleast 10-15 mins before starting to draw it will help a lot,Trust me.

Thanks! That was pretty helpful and insightful.

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.
Pentel Pocket Brush Pen
This is a remarkable little pen. Technically speaking, any brush pen of reasonable quality will do, but I'm especially fond of this one. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.
Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.
