At first i want to say you did a great job, your ghosted lines are very precise and also the circles on the funnels are pretty nice. The biggest problem i can see is the understanding of perspective, but dont worry this is normal, in the 250 box challenge perspective will make much more sense.

Another thing that i want to mention is the use of line weight. Line weight is not a must, but it helps communicate the form to the viewer. Only apply line Weight to the silhouette. It will help allot when objects start to overlap each other. For Example in the Organic Perspective exercise you added some line weight to clarify witch box is in front. But remember only thicken the line if the line is part of the silhouette. Also dont use line weight to hide Mistakes, one extra pass is often enough. Every stroke you do in draw a box needs to be ghosted even if you add line weight.

Next Steps:

I think you can go to the 250 Box challenge, i would recommend to practice line weight in the box challenge.

Have a nice Day and keep on drawing :D,

Thank you so much for your advise! Yes, I think I am a bit confused about perspective. I hope 250 box challenge will help me to improve as you said.

Have a nice day!

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.
PureRef

PureRef

This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.

When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.

Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
