Hello,
First of all, for future submissions, please try to upload the pages in order. You have an option on Imgur to rearrange the photos before generating the link. This will come in handy at the 250 boxes challenge.
Lines
In the pages with the Superimposed Lines exercise, most of them look good. The lines will improve in time so keep practicing them as a warm up.
Ghosted Lines exercise and Ghosted Planes - the lines are a little wobbly, you have to be really confident when drawing the line. It is really important to start the line and end it exactly where you have the points. I think if you combine confidence and use the shoulder pivot, they will improve in no time.
Ellipses
Table of ellipses - I like that you experimented with many angles, most of them look ok, try to Ghost more in order to keep the ellipses between the lines.
Ellipses in Planes and Funnels - the ellipses should touch all the sides of the plane. I believe you need to trust yourself more, be confident when you are making the ellipses. Use the Ghosting method, it helps a lot.
Boxes
Plotted Perspective - looks ok, I like that you overlap them.
Rough Perspective - It is a hard one for everyone. I would love to see more confident lines when constructing the boxes.
Rotated Boxes - this looks good, I would loved to see more boxes. It is a complicated one but you should feel proud that you had the courage to start it and have beautiful results. It looks pretty clean.
Organic Perspective - you will have time to learn more about the box perspective in the 250 boxes challenge. :)
Next Steps:
Next step : 250 Boxes Challenge. Good luck!
Use the exercises from lesson 1 as warm up before the Boxes sessions. Try to make a few at the time and don't stress. It can be overwhelming sometimes.

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.
