Hello, congratulation on finishing lesson 1. I'll be only pointing out the thing that needs to be improved and Here are my observations:
- Superimposed Lines
The only issue I saw here is that a lot of your line has stray on both end, so make sure to taking the time to position your pen correctly at the starting point of your guideline.
- Ghosted Lines
Try to focus more on confident flow over accuracy because your line almost always hits both ends, but many of them feel wobbly.
- Ghosted Planes
I'd recommend varying the quadrilaterals more. In your submission, a lot of your quads are rectangular-ish. Make some weird trapezoids or kite shapes when you come back to ghosted planes in the future, it'll test you in more odd scenarios. You should submit the homework for ghosted planes and ellipses in plane separately, so it's much easier for me to check your homework
- Ellipses
For Ellipses section my only concern is in the funnel exercise, some of your ellipses in this excercise doesn't align to the minor axis. You want to make sure that the minor axis cuts each ellipse into two equal, symmetrical halves, down their narrower dimension. Next time make sure to allign your ellipses to the minor axis.
- Rough Perspective
For the Rough Perspectives, make sure to ghost your lines before executing it because I see some of your line feel wobbly. I'm not sure if you were trying to make the lines thicker or fix them, if it's the former then practice superimposed lines with ghosting more, if it's the latter then don't do that. Keep the line even if it's bad no matter how bad you wanna fix it.

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.
Faber Castell PITT Artist Pens
Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.
Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
