You are on the right track with superimposed lines, though for the ghosted lines I'd recommend doing more lines when you start doing that exercise as part of your warm-ups. Ghosted planes look good as well and I'd recommend grouping them up closer together once your get comfortable with ghosting your lines.
Tables of ellipses looks good, I'd say try to ghost your ellipses more.Try going through the motion a couple more times to really see if your ellipse is going to touch the limits imposed by your other ellipses and the table you've drawn out. Immediately visible in the funnels exercise you're not varying the minor axis of the ellipses. Have another look at the ellipses chapter of lesson 1. Uncomfortable mentions that as the ellipse moves to the side the degree changes and this widens the ellipse.
Plotted perspective is good, line weight and the cross-hatching help filter out the boxes. For rough perspective I'd recommend ghosting your line from the corners of each box to help with accuracy. Your rotated boxes show a bit of hesitancy, don't be afraid to rotate the boxes more and have the lines converge more sharply. Review the rotated boxes exercise and pay attention to how one sides of the box change. Also don't be afraid to taper the boxes, it is necessary for the exercise.
In organic perspective I've noticed you're re-drawing lines and it makes it difficult to tell which lines were drawn first and this harder for others to identify your mistakes (and it makes it harder for yourself as well!) If you make a mistake, ignore it and push through to finish the box and eventually the exercise. Again, try ghosting the lines when plotting the back corners of each box, it'll help with making the box feel more natural. I'd also suggest varying the length/width of each box, they don't need to be perfectly equilateral (all sides the same length).
I'd recommend revising funnels, rough perspective and rotated boxes. The last two will definitely help when you get to the 250 box challenge.
Oh, and don't forget your warm-ups!

Thank you so much for your feedback! These still aren't perfect but I hope my effort is noticeable and I've made some improvement. https://imgur.com/a/xKqaozp

Looks much better now! I'd say you're ready to tackle the 250 box challenge.
And always to do a 10-15 minute warm up as mentioned in lesson 0.
Next Steps:
250 Box challenge.

Drawabox-Tested Fineliners (Pack of 10, $17.50 USD)
Let's be real here for a second: fineliners can get pricey. It varies from brand to brand, store to store, and country to country, but good fineliners like the Staedtler Pigment Liner (my personal brand favourite) can cost an arm and a leg. I remember finding them being sold individually at a Michael's for $4-$5 each. That's highway robbery right there.
Now, we're not a big company ourselves or anything, but we have been in a position to periodically import large batches of pens that we've sourced ourselves - using the wholesale route to keep costs down, and then to split the savings between getting pens to you for cheaper, and setting some aside to one day produce our own.
These pens are each hand-tested (on a little card we include in the package) to avoid sending out any duds (another problem with pens sold in stores). We also checked out a handful of different options before settling on this supplier - mainly looking for pens that were as close to the Staedtler Pigment Liner. If I'm being honest, I think these might even perform a little better, at least for our use case in this course.
We've also tested their longevity. We've found that if we're reasonably gentle with them, we can get through all of Lesson 1, and halfway through the box challenge. We actually had ScyllaStew test them while recording realtime videos of her working through the lesson work, which you can check out here, along with a variety of reviews of other brands.
Now, I will say this - we're only really in a position to make this an attractive offer for those in the continental United States (where we can offer shipping for free). We do ship internationally, but between the shipping prices and shipping times, it's probably not the best offer you can find - though this may depend. We also straight up can't ship to the UK, thanks to some fairly new restrictions they've put into place relating to their Brexit transition. I know that's a bummer - I'm Canadian myself - but hopefully one day we can expand things more meaningfully to the rest of the world.
