Hi, I hope I could help you with my review
1) Superimposed Lines: Remember that the porpuse of this exsercise is to get your head around the confidence of your lines and get used to use your shoulder. Your lines seems wobbly.
2) Ghosted Lines: Sane here, your lines are wobbly because you are trying to correct the course of the line, remember to ghost your movement using your shoulder and then making one sigle and confident line, it does not have to be perfect, just made with confidence.
3) Planes: The same here.
4) Tables of Ellipses and Ellipses in Planes: Remember that your ellipses have to touch the border of your frame in the tables exercise and the border of the planes in the other one.I think the quality of your ellipses is pretty good, you just have to loose a bit and use more your shoulder to get more confident lines
Next Steps:
I would recomend you to re do Superimposed lines and ghosted lines exercises, again using your shoulder and make sure that each line is done in one movement, it doesn't have to be perfect.

The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. 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.
Faber Castell PITT Artist Pens
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.
