Hello!
The only issue I could see was on the "Tables of Ellipses" exercise - the ellipses are only meant to have 2 rotations in them. The majority of yours have 2, but there are some with 3 and even 4 rotations.
It may be something to think why - are the extra rotations added in due to frustration (akin to scribbling something out) due to the first and second rotations not going to plan? If so, then you should work on doing what are you trying to do, and if it doesn't go to plan, just move on - no need for any frustration in the drawing (if that is what it is...), as this will make drawing unenjoyable.
Other than that, this submission looks good..!!
Next Steps:
I would suggest redoing the "Table of Elipses" exercises

As you suggested https://imgur.com/a/eaQIcRY. Thank you for critique! This time result looks better to me. Probably, first time i really did too much effort. To be fair it was harder first time... and frustrating... Anyway thank you for advice, you are right.

Yes, this looks a whole load better! i would suggest moving onto the 250 box challenge, if you haven't already!
keep up the good work!

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.
