Here's a quick and to the point one, then~
Lines are good, but, in the planes, especially, you'll be a little too conscious of the end point, and decrease your speed, or sometimes even arc, to meet it. It's much better to overshoot. Confidence is, always, the #1 priority. Also: don't redo lines!
Ellipses are good, too, though you'll sometimes flick your pen at the end, and run off-course. See if you can lift it off the page, instead. Also, there's an extra page of funnels, for some reason. Be a little more mindful of the page requirements, so you don't grind.
Boxes are also fairly good. For the rough perspective exercise, it looks like you used a ruler for the front faces- this is incorrect. Don't thicken your lines so much, either. Be subtle. Usually, a single superimposed line is enough. Also, here, too, and in the organic perspective exercise, as well, don't correct incorrect lines. Speaking of the organic perspective exercise, are you placing start/end points for all of your lines? If not, be sure to. The ghosting method is to be used for all lines, and step 1 of said method is 'place start/end points.'
Anyway, though there's a few hiccups, there's nothing here that I'd like you to redo, so continue on with the challenge. GL~

Thanks for the thoughtful review! Some of my bad habits are painfully clear to me, some are new. The challenge will keep me busy enough to keep checking them :)
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.
