Hello!
Your lines and ellipses look really good! Some of the ellipses overlap, and on the funnel exercise remember that the minor axis should cut them in two symmetrical halves. But overall they look confident which was the point of this lesson, you'll be able to draw with more accuracy with time and practice.
You did really good on the perspective exercises as well! You didn't finish the rotated boxes though (english is not my first language, but i hope i can make myselff clear): you know how you have three rows of five boxes placed on the horizontal line? Well, there should be the same on the vertical line! It seems like you kind of missed that. But athe ones that you drew look really good and it seems that you understood the exercise.
And as for the organic perspective exercise, don't forget that the parallel lines of the boxes have to eventually converge at some point: some of them look like they are diverging. Remember that when you do the 250 box challenge!
Good work!
Next Steps:
250 box challenge! And don't forget to do some of these exercises as warm ups. Good luck!

Cleo really said it well, good work! The only thing I would add is that in the rotated boxes each quarter 9 boxes. But it seems like you understand the exercise so just remeber to look at the examples uncomfortable gives to us each lesson.
Good luck on the 250 box challenge :)
Next Steps:
250 box challenge, and don't forget to come back to these exercises as warm ups to keep your drawing skills sharp!

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.
