Lines: they are a bit shaky (there are also some normal You need to draw the line with confidence, which will ensure a smooth flow. Not too fast and not too slow. More practice drawing from the shoulder and you will get better results.
Ellipses: I hope you're using the ghost method. Because some of them have a wobbly outline. With the funnels, the line in the middle should divide the ellipses into symmetrical halves (i can see that you're trying).
Rough perspective: I don't think it's a big deal, but you can only use the ruler in this exercise for the frame and the horizon line. Everything else should be drawn by hand.
Read or look carefully, it will help you in the future.
And don't forget to warm up before doing the exercises and the 50% rule.
I mark the lesson as completed. Good luck with your further studies)

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.
