Hi, I'll be taking a look at your work today. But before that, congrats on completing this lesson. The difficulty of constructing a box and doing it 250 times is definitely noteworthy.
Clear improvement was seen in your boxes. Starting around box 100, the issue with diverging lines is largely corrected.
Hatching lines were applied correctly. This is great and shows your understanding of which plane faces the viewer, and demonstrates understanding of 3D space.
A good variety of boxes was shown. Just like the previous item, having different boxes with different convergences shows the spatial reasoning.
An issue that shows up every so often is that a box will have a parallel set of lines. The best way to fix this is to take your time ghosting and being aware of the angles between lines, since this helps in recognizing the VP the line is converging to.
The extra line weight is sometimes wobbly, detracting from the intention. This is usually a result of trying to match the original line and then not executing confidently, sort of a cart-before-the-horse situation. Thus, make sure that the extra line is confident, and that should help in making the lines match better.
The boxes with more rapid convergence (i.e. the VP is closer) tend to be done better than the ones with shallow convergence. It may help to start with boxes that have rapid convergence, and slowly make them shallower as you draw more boxes.
The hatching lines are generally well-done, but once in a while seem rushed (i.e. fraying, not parallel, overshooting). Just remember that they should be done with a level of execution expected of all lines in this course.
I think you are ready for the lesson 2. Just remember to keep your line execution confident, and to review some of the fundamentals. Good luck!

Thanks for the critique!
Fixing those line extensions was a large contributor to error checking my boxes. I felt like I came out of the challenge knowing the difference between autopilot and mindful practice.
Every now and then I'll get someone asking me about which ruler I use in my videos. It's this Wescott grid ruler that I picked up ages ago. While having a transparent grid is useful for figuring out spacing and perpendicularity, it ultimately not something that you can't achieve with any old ruler (or a piece of paper you've folded into a hard edge). Might require a little more attention, a little more focus, but you don't need a fancy tool for this.
But hey, if you want one, who am I to stop you?
