Your lines section seems excellent, they are confident and straight. I do notice some issues in your ellipses section though. In your table of ellipses, several of your ellipses are uneven(remember, you should be able to draw an imaginary line through the minor axis and have the halves match up). I see this issue on the funnels exercise as well. Also, there are several ellipses overlapping others, which should not happen.
Your box exercises all seem good. There isn't quite enough rotation on the edge boxes, but this is only a minor issue. On the organic perspective I'm starting to see some issues with the lines(overshooting, redrawing, and a few wobbles).
Overall I think these exercises look good(better than mine did when I went through lesson 1) and I think you're ready to move on to the 250 box challenge. One last thing I would recommend is doing some of the ellipse exercises as warm-ups if you aren't already.
Next Steps:
Start the 250 box challenge and add ellipse exercises to your warm up list.

Thank you so much for the critique. Everything you say is very proper and clean. I had a little trouble doing the ellipses and I knew there are some issues. Your note about doing imaginary line through the minor axis and have the halves match up, that was helpful. I'll pay attention to that and the warm up idea is very good. I've been doing it already and I will continue to do it.
And I just started to 250 box challenge and I feel it's helped me get over of issues on organic perspective.
Thanks again!

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw
Right from when students hit the 50% rule early on in Lesson 0, they ask the same question - "What am I supposed to draw?"
It's not magic. We're made to think that when someone just whips off interesting things to draw, that they're gifted in a way that we are not. The problem isn't that we don't have ideas - it's that the ideas we have are so vague, they feel like nothing at all. In this course, we're going to look at how we can explore, pursue, and develop those fuzzy notions into something more concrete.
