Hi, I will give you feedback on these based on the official lesson 1 critique guide https://pastebin.com/dYnFt9PQ
Lines
Your superimposed lines are good, you have carefully put your pen at the start and confidently ran through the line.
Your ghosting lines are good all around, but sometimes you tend to curve them, that could mean you don't use your shoulder while drawing lines or that you just have a tendency to curve them. If the latter is the case, then you should try slightly arching them in the opposite direction consciously, with time and practice you'll instinctively make a straight line.
The ghosting planes are good and by the book.
Ellipses
The ellipses tables are good, you are confident and you don't draw over them too many times, mostly you make them touch each other and the boundaries.
The same for the ellipses in planes.
Ellipses in funnels look good, you cut them in half at the minor axis correctly and they stick to the boundaries.
Boxes
First one good.
Rough perspective is good but some of those box lines are a bit timid and curved at times, try to ghost all of the lines you make.
The rotating boxes one is okish, the back part of the boxes is difficult to see and not really aligned with the front part and the lines are also here a bit imprecise, but the exercise is very hard so don't worry, try to come back to it when you will have a bit more of experience to it and you will have surely improved.
Some minor perspective errors in organic perspective, don't worry you'll improve them in the 250 boxes challenge.
Next Steps:
The exercises have been followed to the letter and you are more than ready to proceed to the 250 boxes challenge, any existing flaws in the execution is nothing to worry about and with practice they will be honed out.

On the rotated boxes exercise some of the boxes on the outside don't follow the corners of their neighbouring boxes correctly, with there being too much spsce some of the boxes in some areas as well.
Next Steps:
Move on to the 250 box challenge. Make sure you include some of these exercises in your warm ups before doing a Drawabox drawing session.

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.
Color and Light by James Gurney
Some of you may remember James Gurney's breathtaking work in the Dinotopia series. This is easily my favourite book on the topic of colour and light, and comes highly recommended by any artist worth their salt. While it speaks from the perspective of a traditional painter, the information in this book is invaluable for work in any medium.
