Hi, it's looking good! You seem to have a good understanding of what the exercises want you to accomplish. The major flaw here is your work done in pencil. It looks like you've allowed yourself to erase or draw over some lines multiple times.
Doing the exercises in ink would force you to be more deliberate with each of your lines and would ultimately improve their quality.
Your planes look great, but I think your ellipses and organic perspective slipped as a result of using a pencil.
Before proceeding I believe you should switch to a fineliner or ballpoint pen.
Next Steps:
Before moving to the 250 box challenge I recommend you complete an additional page of the ellipse table and an additional page of the organic perspective exercise.
Make sure to ghost your ellipses as well as the lines that make up your boxes. When doing the ellipses, aim to do only two passes around the ellipse.
Make sure to use ink to get the most out of your exercises.

Thank you so much for your critique, i aprecciate it, i actually did it with pen, but i think it doesnt look like. For now, im not able to get a fineliner, but i'll try. I also will follow your recomendations, because i also didnt like how i did those 2 exercises. PD: Excuse my english, im a beginner
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.
