Actually I've got a question: when I ghost a line, should I physically mark the end of my line (by putting a dot) before ghosting it, or do I have to make the whole line in my mind, ghost it, and draw it? In my exercises I used the latter way, but now I'm not sure it was the right way.

Thanks for your feedback, it's very helpful. Two things that I noticed and that may be the root of the issues you underlined (at least I feel like it might be the cause) are that I struggle to make parallel lines (it works maybe 4 times over 5 tries, but as you can see this one fifth of failed lines is quite noticeable), and that I often go beyond my ghost line - not by much, but far enough to actually distord the next line I draw.

I'll work on this and show you the result :)

One month later, here are my lesson 1 homeworks! It took some time since I was doing it during lunch break, but it was reaaaally cool. Thanks a lot for doing this!
