Your straight superimposed lines start out quite good, they're very confident and I see fraying at only one end. You fall of a bit from this on your curved lines, I see quite a lot of fraying on both ends, make sure you are still carefully lining up your pen to start from the same point every time.
Your ghosted lines look pretty good I do see a bit of curving, but this is improved in your ghosted planes which are overall quite straight and confident.
I see you are attempting to execute your ellipses with confidence and get them to fit snugly into the tables, but you get rather loose towards the second half of your second page. Make sure you are ghosting each mark you make and don't let yourself run on autopilot from ellipse to ellipse. If you see your accuracy start to decrease or start to get sloppy take a break and come back to it later when you are fresh. Same goes for your ellipses in planes. I think this is a good attempt, for the most part you're prioritizing smoothness over fitting into the planes which is good to see- just remember that after you've ghosted and started your ellipse it's too late to change the trajectory, never try to make a correction mid-mark.
Your funnels are off to a good start. I don't see too much slanting. In your future warmups try to make the arc a bit more extreme like the left side of your page so you can have greater variation in your ellipse sizes.
Your rough perspective boxes start out a bit uncertain but you do improve by the end of them. Just be sure that you are plotting out your lines parallel and perpendicular to the horizon line (mostly you're doing okay here, but I do see some edges of the back face going quite diagonal).
You make a good attempt at the rotated boxes. You don't manage a full rotation but that's to be expected as it's a very difficult exercise. Otherwise it is neat and the boxes are close together which is good to see.
Your organic persepective boxes are looking quite scratchy which is to be avoided. Don't go over your lines again in an effort to make corrections, just let mistakes be mistakes. If you're attempting to add line weight do it with a single, confident, ghosted line rather than several scratchy lines. You also have quite a lot of convergence issues but that's fine and will be addressed in the 250 box challenge. You do have a broad range of box sizes which is good to see.
Overall it's a solid start to the program and I think you're ready to move on.
Next Steps:
Good luck on the 250 box challenge!
Here we're getting into the subjective - Gerald Brom is one of my favourite artists (and a pretty fantastic novelist!). That said, if I recommended art books just for the beautiful images contained therein, my list of recommendations would be miles long.
The reason this book is close to my heart is because of its introduction, where Brom goes explains in detail just how he went from being an army brat to one of the most highly respected dark fantasy artists in the world today. I believe that one's work is flavoured by their life's experiences, and discovering the roots from which other artists hail can help give one perspective on their own beginnings, and perhaps their eventual destination as well.
