Make sure your line extensions follow your plotted edges and vertices (make sure the vertices are visible)
-
Make sure your extending the lines in the right direction (generaly facing away from the face pointing towards the observer ie, the hatched face)
-
Make sure you have variance in both the orientation and the convergence. As stated before, 2/5ths of your boxes were either slow convergence types or too parallel. For starter do you first 5 boxes with fast convergence and next 5 with slow convergence. Then the rest mix things up like one or two of the axis can be fast converging or slow converging & vice versa.
-
Please hatch the boxes 67-72, 79-110, 116-250 and upload a seperate gallery for the said.
-
Do 10 more boxes consisting of mix of slow and fast convergence (VP very far away and VPs very close)
-
First 5 will have rapid convergence (VPs are closer) with plotted VPs
-
Second 5 will have slow covergence (VPs are far away and usually off page) with plotted VPs
-
The remaining 10 will be a mix of rapid and slow convergence with no Plotted VPs

In the Next Steps please ignore the first point as hatching is optional. Just do 10 more boxes as requested.

1. Line extension
Wrong direction in some/few of the early boxes.
2. Divergence & Parallel lines
Your early boxes are exhibiting a lot divergences. (imo mostly either first 50 or 100)
3. Hatching
Refer to point 5.
4. Lineweight
Overall lineweight seems fine imo.
5. Wobbly & Repeating lines
Your hatched lines are overall wobbly.
6. Similar orientations
There's a fair amount of variations in the orientations overall.
7. Inner corner
There's inevitable errors on the placement of the inner corner from the accumulation of the previous mistakes but you don't seem to miss it overall.
You seem to grasp the overall goal & concepts of this challenge well.
Next Steps:
I guess you can move onto lesson 2.
Make sure you practice your line confidence and as well as implement these boxes into your routine exercises.

Ps: Im grading the boxes in the order they appear on the browser from top to bottom & left to right
1. Line extension
Missing extension lines in boxes 1, 90, 127, 144, 145, 143, 142, 144, 173,
Extension lines don't line up with the edges & vertices in boxes 1- 51. some more boxes exhibiting the behaviour appear further. You're trying to extend the lines in an ideal way and the not the actual plotted ones. Which isn't the point of the challenge.
Wrong direction in boxes 72, 75, 76, 79, 85, 86, 88, 91, 92, 94, 95, 96, 98, 100, 101, 102, 103, 105, 107, 109, 108, 106, 115, 120, 117, 116, 119, 118, 128, 133, 131, 132, 136, 140, 139, 144, 142, 143, 141, 145, 150, 149, 148, 152, 159, 156, 158, 160, 157, 163, 161, 166, 167, 170, 174, 171, 172, 178, 176, 179. Okay I'm a bit exhausted naming each box at this point but, overall a lot of you boxes have extensions in the wrong direction.
2. Divergence & Parallel lines
Divergence in boxes 114, 113, 164, 162, 175, 177, 180, 185. Quite a lot of your boxes are either diverging or too parallel.
3. Hatching
Incorrect hatching on boxes 174, 171.
4. Lineweight
Lineweight seems okay overall.
5. Wobbly & Repeating lines
Your lines seem overall confident and not much repeating lines.
6. Similar orientations
Theres a bit lack of variation in orientation for 2/5 ths of the boxes.
7. Inner corner
Overall you're not missing much of the inner corners.
Next Steps:
Seems you have missed some points/goals of the challenge.
Do 40 more boxes keeping in mind:

1. Line extension
Line extension seems good enough overall
2. Divergence & Parallel lines
119 seems a bit parallel
3. Hatching
Hatching is a bit faint in some of the boxes
4. Lineweight
Overall lineweight is good enough
5. Wobbly & Repeating lines
Overall lines seem confident
6. Similar orientations
There's good ammount of variations
7. Inner corner
Most of the corners are maintained (despite some unevitable errors on the placement)
Overall you've grasped the concept & goal of the challenge.
Next Steps:
You can move onto lesson 2. Make sure to do these boxes as part of your routine exercise as well the lesson 1 stuff.

Incomplete boxes : 51
1. Line extension
Wrong direction in boxes 2, 34, 36, 47, 102.
Extension missing in boxes 50.
2. Divergence & Parallel lines
Boxes 34, 36, 47 shows divergence due to wrong direction chosen for extension.
3. Hatching
Hatching missing in boxes 67-72, 79-110, 116-250.
4. Lineweight
Overall lineweight for the boxes seem fine.
5. Wobbly & Repeating lines
Your overall lines are confident and barely any repeating lines.
6. Similar orientations
Orientaions seem varied enough.
7. Inner corner
Boxes 42 missing a face especially at the bottom.
Overall you've grasped the concepts and goal of this challenge.

1. Line extension
Missing lines in boxes 3, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, 28, 32, 33, 34, 36, 40, 41, 46, 47, 51, 53, 55, 56, 61, 63, 64, 74, 81, 122.
Wrong direction in boxes 70, 154, 213, 140 (it's a mess).
2. Divergences & Parallel lines
A lot of your boxes are suffering medium divergence issues.
Apparent parallelism in boxes 11, 57, 64, 140.
3. Hatching lines
Missing hatching in boxes 47, 238.
4. Lineweight
Most of your boxes lineweights seem okay, though exibhiting wobbly issues.
5. Wobbly & Repeating lines
Almost 70% of your boxes have wobbly lines. Some of them have repeating lines.
6. Similar orientations with boxes
Most of your boxes look different albiet with some boxes looking similar.
7. Inner corner
Missing corner in boxes 81, 106 (an entire face is missing on top), 151 (same as 106).
Next Steps:
Do 20 additional boxes.
Make sure to draw with your shoulder and don't repeat lines when drawing the boxes. Repeating lines are bit okay when doing the lineweights of the silhouette of the box. Make sure not draw through the boxes and dont miss the corners. Don't forget to hatch the faces pointing towards the observer.

Sorry for the 2 month late reply. You've done the requested revisions properly. I'm marking the submission as complete.
Next Steps:
You can head onto the 250 box challenge (you may have moved onto it due to my late reply). Don't forget to use the lesson 1 homework to implement as daily excersises.

Thanks for the critique. Working on decreasing the arcing on longer strokes when using my shoulder. I'm using the funnels and ghosted planes regularly into my warm-up. Just waiting for agreements to move onto the 250 box challenge.

Okay for ellipses ex2 I see the second page.
For rotated boxes, I think you did enough then.
Organic perspectives, as the boxes get closer to the observer the convergence increases by a larger margin. The edges get more less and less parallel as they move closer to the observer. Look at the related page once again. If you're having trouble understanding it, try this site for visualization https://perspectivetools.com/

Sakura Pigma Microns
A lot of my students use these. The last time I used them was when I was in high school, and at the time I felt that they dried out pretty quickly, though I may have simply been mishandling them. As with all pens, make sure you're capping them when they're not in use, and try not to apply too much pressure. You really only need to be touching the page, not mashing your pen into it.
In terms of line weight, the sizes are pretty weird. 08 corresponds to 0.5mm, which is what I recommend for the drawabox lessons, whereas 05 corresponds to 0.45mm, which is pretty close and can also be used.
