You need to recap the line ghosting excercise, remember to draw from your shoulder and lift your hand at the end of the line! So that your lines won't end with those arcs
I noticed you are very intentional with starting you lines at the right point. Ghost the lines at least two - three times then run through them with confidence, lifting your hand at the end.
Next Steps:
Repeat line ghosting excercise

Your rotated box perspectives look good! You also followed through with the 2-3 circles on the ellipses and those look good.
As the other user said, it seems that you need to work with the ghosting method more and make sure you’re following through those movements with the shoulder. In the ghosting lines exercise, the lines are wobbly and a lot overshoot or undershoot. This carries over into the box exercises, particularly the rough perspective and organic perspective exercises.

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.
