Hey TEA9120 I'm not very experienced with critiquing so take what I say with a grain of salt.

On your rough perspective, the converging lines are sometimes way off. Do not be afraid to take your time ghosting. On your organic perspective, sometimes the edges of a box do not converge to a vanishing point. Your boxes tend to have parallel-ish edges. Some depth in your edges would add interest. Do consider the vanishing points before making your lines. But don't stress it. You have the whole 250 box challenge to practice. Other than that, you have good control of your lines and ellipses.

Next Steps:

Move to the 250 box challenge and incorporate these exercises into your warmups. Also please critique my lesson 1 work hehe https://drawabox.com/community/submission/CC08JWRX

Thanks for your advice! On the organic perspective, I tried to avoid extreme perspective, but I'll try to push that more. I admit I did rush through the rough perspective.

The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
PureRef

PureRef

This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.

When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.

Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
