Hi,
Starting with your lines - they are good done - smooth. Some are arching but not wobbling. Imposed lines start at one end - as should be done, they are frying at other ends but with practice you improve it. Ghosting lines and ghosted planes are also well done - smooth, confinently drawn with some visible arching in longer ones. With ghosted planes you should put dots marking ends of cross lines and ghosting lines using this dots.
Tabels of ellipses is fine - your ellipses have nice round ends and are kept in limits and drawn required number of times.
The same apply to funnels, and with funnels your ellipses stay symetrical, lines halving funnels are not in the middle but it is minor issue. The ellipses in ghosted planes are daviating more from eliipses but it is tricky to match and draw ellipse there.
Plotted perspective - well done.
Rough perspective - it seems that some of your lines are wobbly, this is more stresfull exercise and it could cause this but with more confidence and practice it will be easier and your lines be better. Also remember that edges of boxes horizontal and vertical should be parallel and perpendicular to horizon line respectively. You properly applied correction lines. anyway it is quite well done.
Rotated boxes - it gives impresion of being, maybe not exactly ball, but some 3d shape. In some boxes especiall the furthest it looks like you didn't applied rotating. And it seems that you didn't put dots marking ens of lines - it is important to use them as and to apply ghosting.
Organic perspective - this gives impresion as being places in the space. Boxes are getting smaller as they are further away. It seems that after some box you stops making them smaller - you draw them about the same size. And also in this exercise it seems that you stoped from puting dots - maybe i'm wrong here just not seing them.
Dots are important and usefull - You should use them as they are for planing stage and then for applying ghosting. Even you could put another and another dot as first one seems be in not good place.
I think you done this exercisses well, good job.
Next Steps:
Use this exercises as pool for your warm-ups and go to the next lesson.

Thanks for the feedback Greg.44! You were spot on in the critique. Some places I didn't put dots in, however upon the last lesson I began to see how useful the dots are in these exercises.

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.
