If you do not mind, I will tackle a few of your pages, particularly those that could benefit from more attention:
Rotating box - your lines are pretty smooth here and I'm glad to see it. You haven't taken the opportunity to rotate the boxes all the way 90 degrees. In this scenario you would see the plane that used to be on the side and not visible to us take the place of the closest plane of the center box, or at least get close to that effect. Hope that makes sense. You're on your way there, just need a little push!
For your different ellipse exercises, you are getting some nice variations, however I would like to see more smooth lines on those ellipses. It's understandable that you're trying to aim them into the area required, but smoothness comes before precision. Precision will be mastered over time, no worries.
Overall you did a great job and I see no reason why you wouldn't progress further. Don't forget to incorporate the lesson 1 exercises into your daily warmups. 10-15min of whatever exercises you've selected that day.
Next Steps:
As per usual, I suggest you work on the 250 box challenge. If you ever feel like you are drawing the same type of box over and over again there - the rotating box exercise might offer some variation.

Thanks very much for the feedback Laira. I appreciate you taking the time to look through my pages, its very helpful.

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 Blizzard Entertainment
While I have a massive library of non-instructional art books I've collected over the years, there's only a handful that are actually important to me. This is one of them - so much so that I jammed my copy into my overstuffed backpack when flying back from my parents' house just so I could have it at my apartment. My back's been sore for a week.
The reason I hold this book in such high esteem is because of how it puts the relatively new field of game art into perspective, showing how concept art really just started off as crude sketches intended to communicate ideas to storytellers, designers and 3D modelers. How all of this focus on beautiful illustrations is really secondary to the core of a concept artist's job. A real eye-opener.
