lines

Superimposed lines are good. Only fraying on one end. The shorter one have good accuracy and confidence.

Ghosted lines, i can see curves and arching on the lines. This could happen if you are not using your shoulder or not being confident in general. Other than that they are great.

Ghosted planes. Again, curves and arching stemming from ghosted lines. There are also overshooting in there. To practice, try to have and end goal, draw line to line with intention to not overshoot.

ellipses

Table of ellipses are solid. Most of these are within the frame of the box and are tightly spaced between each ellipses. You tried your best to fill in the leftover gaps with smaller ellipses while staying consistent with the goal. Good job.

Ellipses in planes. You fill in the planes with ellipses pretty well. Some are overshooting the boundary but i think they overall looks good. The lines you made are confident and accurate.

Funnels, some ellipses in funnels have tilted, not aligning up with the normal axis. Ellipses overlap and doesnt touch the top and bottom side of the funnels. They are good but need a little refining.

boxes

Plotted perspective. Other than some boxes being distorted due to going beyond the vp radius. They look good.

Rough perspective. I noticed the horizontal lines of this exercise is arching more than the ghosted lines, ghost your line until you are certain that you have it under control. And also, in this exercise width lines should be parallel to horizon and height lines perpendicular to horizon. But judging your extended lines towards the vp. I think they are all great. You did a great job.

Rotated boxes. I can spot the back plane of the boxes are not rotated correlated to the front plane of the boxes. They are also very long. The corner boxes have slanted / wonky back planes due to being rather elevated than the middle cross boxes. And some of the corner boxes' back plane have too much of spacing with other boxes' back plane, so it looks like they are more elevated / separate. Here is a reference on drawing rotated boxes.

Organic perspective. I can really sense the depth of the boxes in this one. You made your boxes really well in terms of depth of the 3d space. But some boxes have their vp lines not match up towards the initial y's vp, making them break the illusion.

I hope this wasnt harsh and take my critique with a grain of salt. and excuse my grammatical errors, english isnt my native language. Good luck on 250 boxes challenge !

Next Steps:

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

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.
