It’s not ideal, but it works. Let’s go through it~
The superimposed lines look fairly good, though I’ll caution you against course correcting a line that runs off-course. For the ghosted lines, try to maintain the same speed throughout, rather than decrease it as you approach the end point.
Ellipses look alright, but you’ll sometimes forget to go around them 2 full times. Be careful not to deform them in the ellipses in planes, exercise- it’s more important for them to be smooth and rounded, than it is for them to touch all 4 sides of the planes. Finally, in the funnels, remember that the minor axis is meant to cut each ellipse into two equal, symmetrical halves. That’s the entire point of the exercise, so see if you can spend a little longer on the ghosting phase, to achieve it.
The box section looks nice. I’ll remind you that automatic reinforcing, that is, correcting an incorrect line, is discouraged. It’s far wiser to leave your mistakes be, usually. Outside of that, the rough perspective exercise looks really good. Great improvement, too! Good attempt at the rotated boxes exercise. The back faces don’t rotate as much as they should, but that’s alright. Finally, the organic perspective exercise is really nicely done, too. I’m especially pleased to see the sheer amount of boxes, as well as overlaps, but it is a little hard to read, which is where lineweight comes in. You’ll get plenty of chances to practice that in your next step, though~
