Hey Amy,
I am a beginner so my feedback is limited - however I think I spotted some things you could work on:
-You mentioned getting distracted during some of the exercises, I know that feeling. Take your time with every mark, ghost the line a few extra times if you feel it necessary.
-Some of your lines are very curvy in the organic boxes exercise. I'm guessing you concentrated too hard on hitting the planned spot exactly, focus more on getting the line straight rather than accurate.
-Remember you are drawing boxes, not cubes. Your organic perspective exercises were very safe as in you had little variation in the width/height of the different faces of the box, which seemingly lead you to draw some of them like they only had 1 or 2 vanishing points. Try to vary your initial Y shape a bit to challenge yourself.
Next Steps:
I think you can move on to the 250 box challenge!
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.
