Your lines look nice and so do the ellipses. For the rough perspective you would get more practice if you have drawn through the boxes. Some lines there seem arched, remember to try using the shoulder and take your time ghosting. I think you will get more practice as you move forward.

I agree with this. I also would add that the lines on the boxes look like they're repeatedly made rather than a single clean line with follow through. I also see whiteout on the rotated boxes, make sure to embrace the missed lines and learn from them. Covering up won't do much to help down the line, and will make it harder to give actionable feedback.

The Art of Blizzard Entertainment
While I have a massive library of non-instructional art books I've collected over the years, there's only a handful that are actually important to me. This is one of them - so much so that I jammed my copy into my overstuffed backpack when flying back from my parents' house just so I could have it at my apartment. My back's been sore for a week.
The reason I hold this book in such high esteem is because of how it puts the relatively new field of game art into perspective, showing how concept art really just started off as crude sketches intended to communicate ideas to storytellers, designers and 3D modelers. How all of this focus on beautiful illustrations is really secondary to the core of a concept artist's job. A real eye-opener.
