Thank you for the critique.
Ok about the convergence, it was really tricky to guess the right one when the box was long and thick, and often happened that the 2 set converged in almost 2 different points. After a while I understood that you should be more daring with the inclination of the opposite sides, but like you said, I need more and more practice to achieve that right.
One question about the line weight:
I had a lot of problems when my first line was thin, because to add weight I had to superimpose the line over itself, and this often resulted in multiple lines, cause I never nailed in the first try.
Is the superimposition the right way to add weight?
Last question, how can I get the "The Relentless" avatar? I love it!

exactly!

Ok, I thought about it again... and I think it's conceptually wrong..
If the 2 lateral vanishing points go downwards it means that I am looking at the box from the bottom upwards, because my horizon line (my eyes) are under the box. So if I look up, the 3rd vanishing point can't point towards the horizon but away from it.
As before, maybe I'll explain better with a drawing -> https://imgur.com/a/gpKtTlc
did I get it right?

Question:
Must all boxes be drawn with the horizon line completely above or below the box, or can the horizon line also cross it?

Thank you!
I'm going to smash those boxes now!
One question, I'll have to finish the challenge before starting the 2' lv right?
Really thanks for your pretty fast and accurate review!!

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.
Staedtler Pigment Liners
These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.
Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
