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 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 we've used ourselves, or know to be of impeccable quality. 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.
