Way to put in the work with the Superimposed Lines! You did alot more than I did. The only kinda suggestion I might have is on your Rough Perspective the box lines are a bit wobbly. I noticed when i was doing the exersizes if I started to for get to rotate my paper my lines would go wobbly. I hope that helps. Other than that awesome job! Your Rotated Boxes exercise is epic!

Another thing I'd like to point out is that in funnels exercise, you should've drawn the curves with a circular object, and your ellipses don't snug in properly. Not a major problem, do some rounds of ghosting, then draw and you'll make it. Also your line weights don't help much in terms of 3d. I suggest that you re-read uncomfortable's articles on the topic. Other than that pretty good work.
Next Steps:
Improve line quality - draw with confidence. You'll be good to go. Good luck.

I have some comments that maybe are useful for you:
Rotated Boxes: In the last and first vertical row I think that the boxes are not rotating properly. In contrast the last horizontal line of boxes is rotating nicely.
Sometimes you are not very clean in the lines you draw, for example, in Organic Perspective or in Rough Perspective. Then it gets a little difficult to recognize what is the actual form of the box (or boxes).
Great work!

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.
The Art of Brom
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.
