I am having a heck of a time doing elipses. I have not picked up a pencil to draw in 20 years. I know that it will take time, but I am also really struggling to count any of my ellipsis pages as homework submissions. I know I am not supposed to grind. And I won't, but if anyone has any tips, let me know.

This subreddit doesn't allow single exercises or partial work, as explained here. You can get feedback on individual exercises on the discord chat server though, and the folks there would be happy to help you out. For the subreddit, we're pushing students to post complete lesson work.
For what it's worth, you're not especially far off. They're a little rough, but still within the range of what I've seen from students. There are two things for you to keep in mind:
-
Execute each of these using the ghosting method, investing the majority of your time into the planning and preparation phases.
-
Execute each of these using your whole arm, from the shoulder. With ellipses it's especially easy to slip back to drawing from the elbow or wrist, which can lead to varying levels of irregularity in your ellipses' shapes.

Thank you Uncomfortable. I should have read the rules stating such on the sidebar. The new videos you have posted are great specifically the What are art fundamentals video.
