Hi!
I'm submitting for community critique. I couldn't rearrange the images on Imgur, so I'm sorry that the images aren't in order. Also, I've lost one the pages of the Rough Perspective exercise, therefore I've done a third page to accommodate (it's the last image in the Imgur album).
Any sort of feedback would be very appreciated.Thanks.
Sincerely,

Hi Toadonatoadstool, I'm going to do a little analysis of your lesson.
Superimposed lines: your lines are arched and have fraying on both sides, so you should pay more attention to the beginning of the line and try to curve it in the opposite direction.
Ghosted lines: your lines have a small curvature, but it is smaller than before.
Ghosted planes: not bad!
Table of ellipse, Ellipses in planes and Funnels: You did well, only some ellipses were a little deformed.
Plotted perspective: OK. These errors are normal.
Rough perspective: you forgot to extend the lines of one of the boxes.
Rotated boxes: This is great.
Organic perspective: you used line weight in only one of the frames and could have used it in the others. You will improve your boxes over time.
Overall it did well. Don't forget to use these exercises as a warm-up before drawing and reviewing the points I criticized.
Your lesson is complete.
Next Steps:
Your next step is the famous 250 BOX CHALLENGE. Good luck :)
A lot of folks have heard about Scott Robertson's "How to Draw" - it's basically a classic at this point, and deservedly so. It's also a book that a lot of people struggle with, for the simple reason that they expect it to be a manual or a lesson plan explaining, well... how to draw. It's a reasonable assumption, but I've found that book to be more of a reference book - like an encyclopedia for perspective problems, more useful to people who already have a good basis in perspective.
Sketching: The Basics is a far better choice for beginners. It's more digestible, and while it introduces a lot of similar concepts, it does so in a manner more suited to those earlier in their studies.
