Your ghosted lines look amazing! The superimposed ones are also very promising, but it'd be great to see the beautiful straight lines from your ghosted lines exercise here as well. To step it up some more I think it'll be very helpful to work on trying to hitting a little closer to the end point for both these exercises (as well as any line, plane, box following), mostly to help with the fraying (for me it helps to put my pen down after ghosting, look at the end point and then execute the mark!). All in all they're solid though gg.
Ellipses in planes -- Your ellipses look smoothly executed and confident! They do overshoot the edges of the plane, so maybe planning a little more carefully would work, but here too, it's solid and with obvious progress within 2 pages.
Tables of ellipses -- a little more wobbly here! Make sure the ellipses are snug and evenly shaped. Not working too small helps in this exercise.
The same goes for the funnels. Make sure theyre touching the edges. I think you could try the optional version mentioned in the lesson here to start narrow near the center and increase the degree as you move outwards.
Plotted perspective -- only nitpick is to also do hatching lines with care!
Rough perspective -- Make sure you're lining your boxes with the same techniques as all other lines: planned well, ghosted, then a single confident stroke. Here most are redrawn multiple times and on the wobbly side. Reread about guessing, ghosting, and maybe this lesson. Same for organic perspective exercise, and rotated boxes too.
You're underestimating most of the converging lines so apply these tecniques accordingly.
Next Steps:
I was unsure whether or not to mark complete, but I chose to request revisions because of this;
Your lines and ellipses exercises start out showing you have a good grasp of the lesson material. However, later with your boxes, it seems to miss the careful planning of each dot and each line that the drawabox lessons drill in. Plot each of your points and lines with care, and then execute with confidence as you did with your superimposed and ghosted lines and your ellipses in planes which you did very well.
I suggest reading through the lessons on planning, plotting, ghosting and execution, and then redoing the rough perspective and organic perspective exercises while keeping this in mind.

Color and Light by James Gurney
Some of you may remember James Gurney's breathtaking work in the Dinotopia series. This is easily my favourite book on the topic of colour and light, and comes highly recommended by any artist worth their salt. While it speaks from the perspective of a traditional painter, the information in this book is invaluable for work in any medium.
