I always produce an ellipse with a more narrow left end and fatty right end.

If your ellipses are uneven, then generally that's a sign that you're either not executing the mark confidently enough (and instead hesitating as you draw the mark), or that you're drawing more from your wrist or elbow. Here are three things you can do to help:
Be sure to apply the ghosting method to help you break the mark making process into separate stages, so you can worry about accuracy during the planning/preparation phases, and execute with confidence from the moment your pen touches the page.
Draw through all of the ellipses you freehand throughout this course, drawing two full times around the shape before lifting your pen.
Execute your marks using your whole arm, from the shoulder, as explained here.
