Hi Darklight,
I took a look at your submission.
Your lines in the first excercise look confident I wold just suggest being alittle more careful of where you are placing your pen when you start. There were quite a few lines that were frayed on both ends a little.
I noticed that a lot of of lines did not connect or stopped short on your ghosted planes. Just make sure your are using the ghosting method and I think you are aple to plot your start and end point on these as well. I find that it helps me keep an image of where I am going to be stopping my line.
Your ellipses look fine, I'm pretty sure they will continue to improve as your practice them.
I did not really see many overlapping ellipses on the table and they look like your drew them pretty confidently.
Plotted perspective looks great so I don't have anything to say about that.
On the rough perspective I would just point out that you want to make your width lines parallel to the horizon line. You had a few that the line was slightly off.
Your rotated boxes look good. All the corners between boxes are close and they all seem to be be rotating . So good job on that.
Organic perspective is alright as well. The boxes didn't really have any line weight on them. Not sure if it was because the pen ran out but I think the line weight would have helped a lot more on this exercise. Your perspective was a little off on the boxed as well but you will have plenty of opportunities to practice your line weight and perspective in the 250 box challenge.
Good work.
Next Steps:
I think you can move on to the 250 box challenge. Just make sure you are varying the line weight on your boxes.

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.
