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?
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.
