One of my complaints is that you often tend to arc your lines a lot, including your extension lines. Keep your lines straight, especially the extension lines, so that you can identify your mistakes more accurately. Still prioritize getting your lines smooth though, as you have been doing so far. But overall, your boxes seem to have improved somewhat in terms of convergence, as if you are more comfortable with drawing lines that converge to any single vanishing point you choose instead of having them go off to infinity all the time.
Next Steps:
Good job for finishing the challenge! Now proceed to lesson 2.

I see what you mean by that ???? I just saw the the extension lines look curved. It is because the a4 paper is a little bit arched at the top and bottom end ???? my bad. Thanks for the critique ????

your curved lines are obviously caused by paper not lying flat when photograped. you can ignore that guy's critique about that. your boxes are crisp, lines are perfect, and convergences are well estimated. keep up the good work.

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.
Pentel Pocket Brush Pen
This is a remarkable little pen. Technically speaking, any brush pen of reasonable quality will do, but I'm especially fond of this one. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.
Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.
