Congratulations on completing the challenge.
I see that through your sheets, the boxes are getting better and better and an effort is noticeable.
It looks like you applied line weight to the boxes and crosshatching and did very well.
Of course, we can always find things to rectify.
Crosshatching is very good to understand the orientation of your boxes.
Still I see that your crosshatching lines are a bit wobbly, do them with the ghosting method and remember, confidence before precision.
It's ok if you go off the edge a bit as long as you trace with confidence.
Also I see that in some boxes, the lines of the boxes stop converging to their respective axis and become parallel.
In this challenge (and in most practices) the lines should converge towards their axis (or vanishing point) noticeably.
You can see what I mean on the last sheet of your homework.
Next Steps:
You seem to have grasped what is necessary for the challenge.
And as long as you remember to make the lines of your boxes converge a bit more to their vanishing point you'll be fine.
Move on to the next lesson!

Thank you for your reply! I appreciate it a lot, and I definitely see what you mean about my lines not converging. I'll keep that in mind :DD
PureRef
This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.
When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.
Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
