Your lines for the most part look good, no wobbles, nice confident strokes.
However, it appears that you didn't draw through your ellipses 2 or 3 times the majority of the time. This is very important as it allows you to get better at them exponentially. They do look fairly smooth and even, but you're ofteb missing the edges, causing floating ellipses which is a no-no in the lessons.
Also it appears that your organic perspective pages are missing, please add those in order to get it marked as complete.
Next Steps:
Add the organic perspective pages to get marked complete.
I'm not sure if you need to redo the ellipses exercises or if it's just a matter of making sure you draw through them 2 or 3 times going forward.

thanks for the critique! I'll keep in mind to draw through ellipses.

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.
Ellipse Master Template
This recommendation is really just for those of you who've reached lesson 6 and onwards.
I haven't found the actual brand you buy to matter much, so you may want to shop around. This one is a "master" template, which will give you a broad range of ellipse degrees and sizes (this one ranges between 0.25 inches and 1.5 inches), and is a good place to start. You may end up finding that this range limits the kinds of ellipses you draw, forcing you to work within those bounds, but it may still be worth it as full sets of ellipse guides can run you quite a bit more, simply due to the sizes and degrees that need to be covered.
No matter which brand of ellipse guide you decide to pick up, make sure they have little markings for the minor axes.
