Had lots of fun with this.
I didn't take pictures of my ghosted planes until I had already drawn in the ellipses. I hope this is okay.
Struggled to keep my lines straight with the rough perspective, despite doing okay during some warm up.
The rotated boxes was very tricky. I tried to improve on each new side from my mistakes on the previous, so it ended up looking lopsided.
I am keen to try the 250 box challenge :D
For your superimposed lines, you did good at starting them from the same place but they frayed at the ends a lot. The other exercises are fine too except some of the vertical and horizontal lines of the boxes for the rough perspective exercise aren't parallel which they should be because it's 1 point perspective. In the rotated boxes excercise you were able to successfully rotate the boxes through a wide range of motion and in the organic perspective exercise a few of the boxes look a little warped but overall they were fine as well.

Move on to lesson 2
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.
