-Lines: in super imposed lines you followed the steps properly, although i can see some wobbliness on the lines. In the ghosted lines you also followed the steps. There are some repeated lines on the ghosted lines exercise. Remember that you should focus on drawing with your shoulder, and you will get used to doing it with your shoulder if you keep practicing it, and also remember that you should not repeat the lines, no matter how off a line is from the point. In the ghosted planes you forgot to complete the cross through the center of the x in the previous step, how it's shown on this picture: https://d15v304a6xpq4b.cloudfront.net/lesson_images/8bee19e4.jpg
-Ellipses: In the Table of ellipses you followed the steps properly. One thing you should keep in mind is that you should draw through the ellipses 2-3 times before doing the ellipse, how it's shown on the lesson image: https://d15v304a6xpq4b.cloudfront.net/lesson_images/a76a8906.jpg. In the funnels exercise you also followed the instructions. Some of the ellipses are a bit rotated out of the minor axis line, remember that the ellipses should align to the minor axis.
-Boxes: In the rotated boxes exercise you followed the steps properly, the corners between the boxes must be kept close. In rough perspective you also followed the steps, something I can see is that some height lines aren't perpendicular to the horizon. In organic perspective you also followed the steps, I see the boxes going from big to small
You forgot to finish the cross section on the ghosted planes exercise. You should finish the exercise before you move to the 250 box challenge. You don't need to redo 2 new more pages + ellipses, you can just finish the cross section in the planes you already did ignoring the ellipses you did for the ellipses in planes
(Next step: Ending the cross section in the planes you already did)

Rapid Viz
Rapid Viz is a book after mine own heart, and exists very much in the same spirit of the concepts that inspired Drawabox. It's all about getting your ideas down on the page, doing so quickly and clearly, so as to communicate them to others. These skills are not only critical in design, but also in the myriad of technical and STEM fields that can really benefit from having someone who can facilitate getting one person's idea across to another.
Where Drawabox focuses on developing underlying spatial thinking skills to help facilitate that kind of communication, Rapid Viz's quick and dirty approach can help students loosen up and really move past the irrelevant matters of being "perfect" or "correct", and focus instead on getting your ideas from your brain, onto the page, and into someone else's brain as efficiently as possible.
