Wow! Thanks for that reply. I guess I misunderstood the 50% rule. I appreciate the clarification and the explanations. Yes time management is definitely a difficult thing with all of the responsibilities on my plate. To be honest, most of the 250 boxes were drawn at 2AM or later when I really should have been sleeping as it was the only time when I wasn't going to be bothered. I guess if the point of the 50% is to feel frustrated then I'm being quite successful haha.

I have not yet abandoned all hope and will continue my trek. Thanks again for your words.

Thanks Rob! I really appreciate all of the great info!

I knew the ellipses were off in regards to the entire plane not being covered and sometimes my brain tried to overcompensate but I tried to keep it consistent.

I recognized the issues with the 1 point perspective and I understood that the lines had to be parallel, but I think I was overshooting when drawing my diagonal connecting line, so I couldn't always make the lines parallel.

The rotated boxes thing killed me and my OCD. I actually took a break from that one and went back to it a day or two later. I was super unhappy with how uneven things were and drawing through my boxes made it super confusing. I actually thought I might not make it through this, so I'm just glad I got it complete, but I couldn't tell why it was way off when I was working on it.

The organic boxes were a bit confusing. I also saw a few boxes and I was thinking they looked good and others I couldn't tell why they looked so weird.

During my lesson, while I was trying to be confident with my lines, I had a reference picture of Scooby-Doo on a lego box and replicated it much larger on my page https://imgur.com/a/qusPxt6 I got distracted when I did the ear and I did it the same size as the original, which is why it came out so weird. I've tried to draw over the years and I have never been able to draw from my imagination or memory. I can look at pictures and replicate them sometimes like with the Scooby-Doo but there was always a lot of erasing and redrawing. I know, it's farm from perfect, the neck line was a bit short, so there is an extra line that shouldn't be there, there are lines around the mouth area that I know are off the to left a bit and I didn't quite get the rounded part by the nose perfect either. Overall, I'm pretty happy with how it came out. If nothing else, I think I'm picking up the confidence. :)
