- there are a few wobbly line and curving lines on the ghosted lines, ghosted planes, and rough perspective. https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/10/wobbling

-
on your first attempt of the rough perspective I see a couple of boxes that didn't converge properly (getting wider on the back), but this has been improved on the next attempt.
-
on the rotated boxes the gap aren't consistent. https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/17/guessing
-
on the organic perspective there are some boxes that didn't converge properly (a few example: https://imgur.com/a/4a4L5A4)
Next Steps:
I suggest to redo the rotated boxes exercise, try to keep the gap narrow and consistent. I know this is one of the hardest exercise in this lesson, but do your best, cheers!
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.
