Your exercises look great. It seems like you are focusing a lot on following the instructions. Your lines are nice and clean, and your ellipses are smooth. One thing I would recommend for the future is to avoid going back over and adjusting your lines after you've drawn them, as you've done in the rough perspective and rotated boxes exercises.
Next Steps:
Your perspective exercises show a pretty good understanding of 3d space, but the organic perspective shows that you still haven't mastered the box method. For now, I would recommend that you move on to the 250 box challenge and refine your boxes before you move on to lesson 2.

Thank you, I will do the 250 box challenge next. :)

Good work, but there's only two thing I would nit pick.
-
In rotated boxes some of the boxes aren't rotating, two different boxes in the same axis go towards the same vanishing point
-
In organic perspective the lines sometimes go parallel or even diverges from each other. Just remember that those lines converge at one vanishing point, so they can't be parallel or divergent. This is a small thing that you should be aware about and its not a deal breaker.
Overall very wonderful work! Good luck on 250 box challenge :)
Next Steps:
250 box challenge. Don't forget to warm up with these exercises while you do the challenge to keep your skills sharp!

Thank you, I will try to focus on making my lines converge at the same vanishing point. :)

Steven Zapata's Secrets of Shading
Some of you will have noticed that Drawabox doesn't teach shading at all. Rather, we focus on the understanding of the spatial relationships between the form we're drawing, which feeds into how one might go about applying shading. When it comes time to learn about shading though, you're going to want to learn it from Steven Zapata, hands down.
Take a look at his portfolio, and you'll immediately see why.
Remember that when you agree with something another user has written, you are putting your own reputation behind it.
Consider the following:
- If it's homework feedback, does it address each section of the lesson/challenge, or only briefly touch upon one or two exercises?
- Does it provide clearly defined next steps for the student to follow?
- Have you read through it thoroughly, or are you simply agreeing so the student earns a superficial badge?
- Replies you agree with will be visible in your sketchbook
Agreeing blindly just to be nice is a good way to get your permissions associated with this function revoked, so make sure that you genuinely feel that the response is beneficial to the student.
