Your superimposed lines start out very confident. I think you did well avoiding wobbling, and the fraying seems pretty natural. For the curves you did fine as well. Moving onto your ghosted lines, I think theyre confident as well. They're landing close to their points. They fall short or overshoot here and there, but I think with practice youll get that down. The ghosted planes are very good. The lines are pretty accurate and straight. It feels like you have solid control over them.
Your ellipses in planes are good as well. On a couple your circles it seems you only rounded them once. Try slowing down and making sure you don't dismiss move through the ellipses to fast. Your ellipses in planes seem have pretty ok control of fitting in the planes but the rounds are sometimes only reaching one in a half here and there but its not really any problem here. The strokes makes it seem like your going a little fast with your marks, which may contribute to less accuracy. Your funnels here are good just that same thing with the one and a half rounds especially on your larger ellipses.
Your plotted perspective had the points a little close, and very few boxes but you seemed to understand the exercise. I I hope you are comfortable with overlap at this point and got enough practice plotting points in 2 dimensions if not, then Id recommend practicing this exercise a little more. Your rough perspective seems to be having problems on the technical and comprehensive side of things. You have lines that are supposed to stay consistently vertical at a slant, especially for the boxes that are having a more drastic perspective. I think you should go through the reading and maybe watch the demo lesson and try again. Make sure you practice them in your warm-ups. Your rotated boxes seem good and a fair attempt at rotating the boxes, but they just dont reach a full range of motion and remain pretty forward, almost three-quarter, facing. Your rotating boxes are good, just the diverging on many of them instead of converging, which may be due to previous lessons.
Next Steps:
I think you should practice a little more plotted perspective and redo the rough perspective exercises. Rough perspective seems a little misunderstood. From there maybe try just one or two sections of rotated boxes, and work on focus on diverging there.

Thank you so much for the feedback. I have redone the Rough Perspective exerciese you can find them in the link below. I didn't even see this untill after I did the 250 box challange and that took forever. I do believe my understnading with prosective as improved immensely thanks to it. Also just wanted to make sure that when I do the the rotated boxes you just want me to do one or two of them not including the center one. Thank you again for the help.

I think one rotated boxes will be fine just to show you understand.

The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. 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.
PureRef
This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.
When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.
Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
