Your submission is very good! There is very little for me to critique here, honestly, you seem like you know what you are doing right now. The only real critique that I think might help is that you should ease up on the line weight in some drawings. I would recommend only drawing one extra line over top the initial line for line weight, and not getting too heavy with it. You should only apply line weight when you need a form that overlaps with another form and you need to differentiate them, and you don’t need line weight if they're is nothing behind it you need to differentiate it from. Heavy line weight can make drawings a bit messy especially when you layer multiple lines on top of another. Line weight is a fun thing to experiment with outside of drawabox, and I would definitely recommend messing around with it for the 50% rule stuff you do- but for draw a box exercises, keep it to a minimum of one extra line of thickness.
Maybe I am wrong, but it also kind of looks like you are using a marker or maybe a brush pen for line weight? Only use markers or brush pens for filling in shadow shapes, and use the pen for everything else.
But other then that, you did a seriously great job here. Give yourself a pat on the back and move on to lesson 4!
Next Steps:
Take on lesson 4!

Thank you for taking the time to go over my submission. I'll definitely take into consideration easing up on the line weight and I appreciate the tips. It really helps out as I continue the lessons.
Thanks again and have a good one!

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.
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.
