Hi! I'm checking old incomplete submissions and I'd like to offer more insights to the existing reviews.
-Lines
Your superimposed and ghosted lines are very good. I'm inclined to suggest you to practice with longer strokes, to build up confidence even for lines that takes half or a full page. The same for ghosted planes, since you'll be using these lessons as a warmup for your future drawing sessions, I'd suggest you drawing bigger to better understand if and where lies your errors.
-Ellipses
I'm glad to see that you seem to prioritize confidence over slow, wobbly ellipses that usually turns out very awkward. You seem to be a little uncertain on ellipses in planes, but that's completely fine. It's obvious that you understood the exercise (Always make 2-3 passes on your circles/ellipses, you made only 1 on the two circles at the bottom of the second ellipse page).
-Boxes
Your boxes are pretty good, I see that you already made the 250 box challenge so probably some errors made here became obvious to you since it forces you to focus on respecting the VPs and paying attention to line quality. Just the same suggestion: draw big! Trust me, it will pay off in the future.

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.
The Art of Blizzard Entertainment
While I have a massive library of non-instructional art books I've collected over the years, there's only a handful that are actually important to me. This is one of them - so much so that I jammed my copy into my overstuffed backpack when flying back from my parents' house just so I could have it at my apartment. My back's been sore for a week.
The reason I hold this book in such high esteem is because of how it puts the relatively new field of game art into perspective, showing how concept art really just started off as crude sketches intended to communicate ideas to storytellers, designers and 3D modelers. How all of this focus on beautiful illustrations is really secondary to the core of a concept artist's job. A real eye-opener.
