Lines are mostly good in general though they have a bit of wobble:
Wobbly lines. In these exercises, you should always prioritize confidence over accuracy.
A wobbly line will always be worse than a confident line, no matter how off the confident line is.
If you take a look over the ghosted lines notes you'll see the levels of lines:
Level 1: Line is smooth and consistent without any visible wobbling, but doesn't quite pass through A or B, due to not following the right trajectory. It's a straight shot, but misses the mark a bit. Level 2: Line is straight, smooth and consistent without any wobbling and maintains the correct trajectory. It does however either fall short or overshoot one or both points. Level 3: Line is straight, smooth, consistent without any wobbling. It also starts right at one point and ends exactly at the other.
As you can see, wobbly lines aren't mentioned, which means that they would be worse than level 1.
Your ellipses are a bit wobbly as well. Same thing applies to them. Make them as confident as you can, even if that means sacrificing accuracy. Otherwise p good.
On boxes finally you've a few issues.
On rough perspective, you seem to have a bit trouble mantaining width and height lines horizontal and vertical. It's tough, but be sure you are thinking about it next times you attempt this exercise.
On rotated boxes, some of your boxes weren't actually rotating, careful with that, this mistake is explained here.
An finally on organic perspective, you're repeating some lines, no matter how off a line is, don't repeat it, keep going as if it was correct.
I recommend trying more overlaps on organic perspective as well. You can clarify after the overlaps by adding a confident, drawn with the shoulder superimposed line. Perspective on them has issues but you'll work on it on the box challenge, so don't worry about it!
Next Steps:
Alright, you're doing a good job so marking this as complete. Keep it up and good luck in the box challenge!

You are right about confidence, I actually prioritise accuracy over confidence. Will keep an eye on that next time. Organic perspective and rotating boxes were actually really hard for me, I'm looking forward to fixing those in 250 box challenge. Thank you so much!

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.
