Good job for completing level 1
In the rough perspective it seems like you were correcting your strokes. If you mess one up just leave him like that. If your go over another time you only bring attention to the messed up area.
Also i would suggest that you keep drawing ellipses in your warm ups. They need a little bit more training
Next Steps:
Go to 250 box hell :D

I agree that you can move on because I think you grasp the core concepts, but I would recommend working on your line making. I am not worried about the elipses missing there target because you still made concise and confident lines. However, in some of your ghosted lines, ghosted planes, and in the rough perspective, you appear to be more focused on accuracy over line making. While many of your lines do achieve this goal (especially in ghosted planes), there are quite a few that the line curves or wobbles to reach the desired point rather than making a confident line that misses the target. There is also several places in which you go back over a line and do it several times. Im not sure if that was by accident when ghosting the line, but it is not something that should be done. Overall, I think you did a good job and can move on to the 250 box challenge, just keep an eye on your linework and work on it in your warm-ups.

Thank you for your reply! I'll do my best :)
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.
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.
