Hello, congrats on finishing the lesson! I'll be looking over your work.
Starting with your lines, you did a great job here. Your lines are both confident and accurate which is pretty difficult to do at this stage. You lines tend to get slightly arced when trying to do longer ghosted lines but this is still a small issue and I'm sure you'll have no problem fixing it in the future.
Your ellipses look pretty solid overall as well. You did a great job with making sure that you were drawing through each ellipse 2 to 3 times and with keeping each ellipse within their bounds in the funnels and the tables of ellipses exercises. You have a couple of deformed ellipses especially in the ghosted planes section though. I know this is harder when it comes to ellipses because you can clearly see that your ellipse isn't big/small enough or isn't in the right place as you're going over it multiple times but remember that you should always prioritize confidence when you put down your marks, especially in this lesson. Accuracy will come with time. There are also a couple of misaligned ellipses in the funnels exercise but that's not a huge deal for now.
Plotted perspective looks great! In the rough perspective exercise though, your lines tend to get a bit wobbly overall. Also it seems that you were going over most of your lines to correct them. Keep in mind that trying to fix your mistakes with ink will only shift the viewer's attention to them.
Except for trying to correct your mistakes, you did a great job with rotated boxes as well. You did a great job with using the neighboring edges to construct the next box and making sure every box was rotating in space.
Again, except for the corrected mistakes, organic perspective looks pretty solid. You have a couple of diverging lines but you'll have a lot of time to work on that during the 250 boxes challenge.
Overall, your work here seems pretty solid! I would love to mark it as completed but there seems to be an issue with the website since I can't find the "mark as completed" button. I'll post this critique anyways and try to mark it as completed by commenting but you should feel free to move on to the 250 Boxes challenge.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on here or on discord by tagging me.

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 Blizzard Entertainment
While I have a massive library of non-instructional art books I've collected over the years, there's only a handful that are actually important to me. This is one of them - so much so that I jammed my copy into my overstuffed backpack when flying back from my parents' house just so I could have it at my apartment. My back's been sore for a week.
The reason I hold this book in such high esteem is because of how it puts the relatively new field of game art into perspective, showing how concept art really just started off as crude sketches intended to communicate ideas to storytellers, designers and 3D modelers. How all of this focus on beautiful illustrations is really secondary to the core of a concept artist's job. A real eye-opener.
