-
Superimposed lines: OK
-
Ghosting: OK
-
Planes: you forgot to draw center lines, otherwise OK
-
Ellipses tables: ellipses & circles look kind of blocky, try ghosting ellipses a few times before putting marks, and finish them in decent speed to get smoother lines
-
Ellipses in planes: OK
-
Funnels: mostly OK, some ellipses centers are not aligned on axis correctly
-
Ruler perspective: OK
-
Free-hand perspective: You seem to miss VP by quite a distance, and some lines look sketchy (drawn in few short lines instead of one smooth line) make sure to ghost lines and only put the marks when ghosted line is hitting VP, also make sure to use your shoulder
-
Rotated boxes: OK
-
Organic boxes: well all your boxes looks like they have same rotation in most planes (expect the one viewer is looking at), do try to vary your boxes, you can try to watch this on how to rotate a box or watch video on 250 boxes challenge page
Next Steps:
-
Redo 1 page of table of ellipses
-
Redo 1 page of free hand perspective
-
Try drawing 3D boxes in various rotations (maybe start 250 boxes challenge?)

How to Draw by Scott Robertson
When it comes to technical drawing, there's no one better than Scott Robertson. I regularly use this book as a reference when eyeballing my perspective just won't cut it anymore. Need to figure out exactly how to rotate an object in 3D space? How to project a shape in perspective? Look no further.
