Hey there, great work so far!
It seems that a lot of your box corners have lines that overshoot each other - particularly in the organic perspective exercise. Would be beneficial to practise ending your lines accurately at a point. It will help your boxes look tighter and cleaner.
Pay attention to perspective when drawing boxes too. In the plotted points exercise, you'll see that the end of the box that fades out to the horizon will be smaller than the end that is facing you. You need to remember this when doing exercises like the organic perspectives exercise - many of the boxes there have their perspective flipped the wrong way. Always remember to stop and think ebfore you draw a box - which end is fading out to the horizon and thus needs to 'shrink'?
Apart from that, good work! All the best!

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.
Pentel Pocket Brush Pen
This is a remarkable little pen. Technically speaking, any brush pen of reasonable quality will do, but I'm especially fond of this one. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.
Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.
