Your linework is pretty solid.
For the "plotted perspective," you were supposed to use a pen to draw the line back to the vanishing point, but it looks like you used a pencil for that.
The horizon line is tilted a little in some of your drawings, so you could work to make them more level.
Make sure your boxes' lines converge at a vanishing point. you can go over your previously drawn boxes and fix them to get better.
Good job!
Next Steps:
work on perspective with boxes. dont rush horizon lines.

Thank you for your critic, I will keep in mind that the horizon line is better located in the following exercises, and use a pen for drawn "plotted perspective" exercises, I'm pleasantly surprised that you tell me my line is solid, I was afraid it wasn't good enough, again thank you for all.
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
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.
