I really like you work and your lines are tight!
I have to say you should read more carefully the exercise. You seems to misread the exercise, such as:
1-you miss lot of lines in the ghosted planes (https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/ghostedplanes) you can see that you are missing the "cross line" that should bisect the plane.
2-In some of the organics perspective I think you miss the point of "specifically making the boxes that are closer larger and those far away smaller in order to convey the depth of the scene." (https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/organicperspective).
I think you should concentrate in reading more carefully.

Sorry, it's my bad for misreading about the ellipses. I also understand why it seems like I'm randomly drawing big and small boxes in the organic perspective exercise, but they are getting smaller as I go further down the line - the line a drew to guide my boxes overlaps, so I understand why it is confusing.
Thank you for the feedback though - I really appreciate it! Do I need to redo any exercise?

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.
