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:

While I have a massive library of non-instructional art books I've collected over the years, there's only a handful that are actually important to me. This is one of them - so much so that I jammed my copy into my overstuffed backpack when flying back from my parents' house just so I could have it at my apartment. My back's been sore for a week.
The reason I hold this book in such high esteem is because of how it puts the relatively new field of game art into perspective, showing how concept art really just started off as crude sketches intended to communicate ideas to storytellers, designers and 3D modelers. How all of this focus on beautiful illustrations is really secondary to the core of a concept artist's job. A real eye-opener.
