Hello, I'll be critiquing your lesson for today.
Lines:
You have very slight wobble in your lines, this is natural and will get better with practice. Ghost as much as needed for you to execute a smooth confident line.
Ellipses:
In your table, some ellipses are either not touching the edges of the table, or each other. Make sure they form tangents with neighbouring lines.
Boxes:
Your organic perspectives are pretty sparse, try to fill it up more and have the change in perspective be more dramatic.
That's all, everything will come together with practice, so have fun!
Next Steps:
Move onto the 250 box challenge!

Hello, thanks a lot for taking the time to critique my work. I'll move on to the 250 boxes challenge.
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.
