Great work! I don't have much to say. You could've drawn bigger boxes on the rotate boxes exercise, but it still looks good.

Thanks for your reply! I'll do that next time I work on that exercise!

For the super imposed lines, ghosted lines, and ghosted planes, you're on a roll! For the super imposed lines, maybe try longer lines, they are harder but also lets you feel the movement from the shoulder more.
You also did well on the tables of ellipses, ellipses in planes, funnels, and plotted perspective and rotated boxes.
rotated Boxes.
For the organic perspective, try foreshortening more, it give a illusion that some boxes are near and some far. Exaggerate how big the nearest box it. Something that would help is to see the example that uncomfortable gives and see how he does the foreshortening. Also, try overlapping some boxes, it also helps with the illusion. I personally think its fun to overlap.
Next Steps:
You can now move onto the 250 box challlenge!

Thank you so much for your critique! I struggled a lot with the organic perspective exercise, so I will make sure to look more closely at uncomfortable's example, I will also take note of foreshortening! I appreciate you taking the time to help me!
The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
PureRef
This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.
When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.
Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
