Your lines have a bit of wobble to them - this may be from low confidence in drawing your lines and/or trying to correct them to hit the end point before you've reached the end point. To improve, slowing down on ghosting may help (it helped me significantly). In addition, once you've put your pen down, commit to the stroke all the way till you've lifted your pen. In a way, this will help you see how you can improve on the next line (for example, if you overshot it, you can try stopping earlier. Or if your line ended above the end point, you can try angling it lower on your next try).
Your ellipses are quite loose and they don't touch each other or the frame or both sometimes. In terms of looseness, It seems like you realized the ellipse won't touch others/frame sides, so you may be trying to compensate on the second loop. Try ghosting more beforehand, ghost-touching the neighboring ellipses and the frame, before putting down your pen to make the ellipse. Again, once you've put your pen down, commit to it so that you can see how you can improve on your next attempt.
Next Steps:
250 boxes challenge should be next, but I recommend doing ellipses and ghosting lines as warmup before you start drawing for the homework or your own drawings. Good job!
Thank you so much for the feedback! I am already practicing to be more confident in my lines and also trying to draw better ellipses. You helped me a lot, thank you for your time.
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.
