Hello wifu4lifu, sorry about the long wait for your critique, hopefully I’ll be able to offer something useful for you today.
Starting with your form intersections, your work here is great. Your mark-making is smooth crisp and confident, your forms look solid and like they all exist in the same 3d space. Your flat-on-flat and flat-on-curved intersections are on point, you’re showing great spacial reasoning skills here. Where two curved surfaces meet, you might see a compound curve, or S-shaped intersection, instead of the C curves you appear to be using. I’ve done a markup on one of your pages here https://imgur.com/a/bm3tTtK showing possible modifications for a couple of your curved-on-curved intersections.
Moving on to your object constructions, I think your work is excellent. You’ve shown a great deal of patience and precision, planning your constructions carefully and using subdivision and mirroring as appropriate to plot out key landmarks on your objects. Your final two constructions in particular, the camera and the gun, look absolutely marvellous to me.
If I had to find something to nitpick (‘cause I gotta find something for you to work on) I feel like the two round buttons on the front of your radio didn’t need such a big difference in degree, given that the front plane of your box has pretty shallow foreshortening. I feel like your arcade machine employed more guesswork than some of your other constructions, but it only stands out because the rest of your work is so meticulous. Parts of your fire hydrant get a little lost amongst the construction lines, but as an exercise you’re doing exactly what you’re supposed to, I’m pleased to see that you switched to ballpoint for the last two objects, and that has given you better control of your line weight.
So, all in all, I think you’re doing a fantastic job! Feel free to move onto the 25 Wheel Challenge.

Yeah, optimus said the same thing about the radio lol! Thanks a bunch for helping me out. I appreciate it.
Rapid Viz is a book after mine own heart, and exists very much in the same spirit of the concepts that inspired Drawabox. It's all about getting your ideas down on the page, doing so quickly and clearly, so as to communicate them to others. These skills are not only critical in design, but also in the myriad of technical and STEM fields that can really benefit from having someone who can facilitate getting one person's idea across to another.
Where Drawabox focuses on developing underlying spatial thinking skills to help facilitate that kind of communication, Rapid Viz's quick and dirty approach can help students loosen up and really move past the irrelevant matters of being "perfect" or "correct", and focus instead on getting your ideas from your brain, onto the page, and into someone else's brain as efficiently as possible.
