Should've done this a lot sooner, but better late than never, right? Anyways, thanks for taking a look!
Hello chieftang, welcome to drawabox.
They look confident. For superimposed lines, Remember that there should only be fraying on one side, not both. Pretty sure its only one page of ghosted lines but hey nothing wrong with more practice. You also could have put your ellipses in the first planes that you had but more practice right.
Ellipses:
I like your tables of ellipses, they look really confident and you are only drawing through 2-3 times. For your funnels, you should not draw the ellipse in the middle.
Boxes:
Your boxes also seem pretty confident. The first part in your plotted perspective looks really confusing but the second two look much better. Your rotated boxes look good too.
Next Steps:

A lot of folks have heard about Scott Robertson's "How to Draw" - it's basically a classic at this point, and deservedly so. It's also a book that a lot of people struggle with, for the simple reason that they expect it to be a manual or a lesson plan explaining, well... how to draw. It's a reasonable assumption, but I've found that book to be more of a reference book - like an encyclopedia for perspective problems, more useful to people who already have a good basis in perspective.
Sketching: The Basics is a far better choice for beginners. It's more digestible, and while it introduces a lot of similar concepts, it does so in a manner more suited to those earlier in their studies.
