Lines:
In your ghosted lines and planes exercise, there is a slight bit of wobble in some of your lines. Take as much time as you need to ghost your lines and prioritize a smooth mark over an accurate mark.
Ellipses:
Mostly alright, but in parts of the funnels exercise the minor axis doesn't cut through the midpoint of all the ellipses in each funnel, try to remember that the minor axis should bisect he ellipse and half each one.
Boxes:
Some of the placements of the faces of your rotated boxes are a bit off, and in organic perspective lineweight should only be added to the parts that overlap, not the whole overlapping boxes.
Everything else is fine! Good luck with the next step!
Next Steps:
Move onto the 250 box challenge.

Thank you for the critique! I definitely agree with everything that you mentioned and will keep this in mind moving forward. In fact this made me remember that I was more focused on drawing the ellipses themselves and was paying less attention about having the line bisecting the ellipses. Again, thank you so much!
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.
