Overall, this seems to be a pretty good job. You really passed every homework with success, and the progression you made is clearly noticeable. I'll do my best to find mistakes, but you can be proud.
Superimposed lines: the first page is fraying a lot on the end, but the second one is perfect, we can see the huge progress. You can try to do more complex curves.
Ghosted lines: good, you'll perfect them with practice.
Ghosted planes: unfortunately you didn't take the picture before drawing ellipses, but that's fine. Not much to say neither, it's very good.
Table of ellipses: very nice. Once again, you'll get this lines closer only by practicing, but it's a good start.
Ellipses in planes: sometimes you don't touch every border, but you've seen your mistakes, which is great. You already see your ellipses being better and lines get closer than the last exercise.
Funnels: be careful, sometimes the end of the line of your ellipse is going away, which breaks the round shape. Try to loop the loop and stay on the line, even at the end. Otherwise it's great.
Plotted perspective: good, not much to say about it since it's a kind of discovery exercise.
Rough perspective: the perspective itself seems great, especially for a first try. You can progress a little by making your lines more perpendicular/parallel to the horizon, and make them less "wobbly". Don't need to do this exercise again particularly for that, your lines will get naturally smoother and you've understand the whole purpose of this exercise.
Rotated boxes: that's really good, even if this exercise was hard, you can be proud.
Organic perspective: nice understanding of the pressure, by making the line thiner when it's far-away from the viewer. Your boxes could be "cleaner", sometimes the lines don't regroup in 1 single point. Also, you don't have to cross the wrong lines, it's normal to make mistakes, and you don't have to signal it.
In conclusion, it's a very good job, you've totally understood what you were expect to do. Congratulations!
Next Steps:
You can move to the 250 boxes challenge to perfect your boxes, and then go on to Lesson 2. Don't forget to do this exercises again sometimes.
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.
