Okay so your rough persepective and organic perspective are definitely looking better. You are still getting a mix of confident linework along with wobbly linework. I know I harped on this a lot with the initial critique but the problem is simply that you are too wrapped up with worrying about accuracy while making your mark. Your main priority right now should be getting a smooth confident line and looking at your work I can see that you seem to be more concerned with your mark perfectly connecting between the dots you place prior to ghosting. The reason we place dots and then ghost our marks is to seperate the drawing process into planning for accuracy and then confident execution. All of your thinking about accuracy needs to be handled in the planning stage while place your dots and then while ghosting your mark. Once you commit to putting your pen down on the page to make the mark accuracy shouldn't even be a concern at that point. Just to be clear using this method your marks WILL NOT BE ACCURATE especially at first. Your lines will end up undershooting or overshooting or veering to the left and right of your dot placement. Accuracy is not our current priority but our main concern is getting a smooth confident mark on the paper. Accuracy can't really be forced and really tends to come from consistent practice over a long period of time as you develop better and better hand and eye coordiation.
Kudos to finishing the rotated box exercise even if it was clearly a bit of struggle. My number one piece of advice here would be that you needed to keep the gaps between your boxes more narrow and consistent which really would have helped a lot with inferring information about neighboring boxes. https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/17/guessing So you're clearly struggling with the spatial thinking for this exercise which is perfectly fine given the difficulty and this is a great exercise to revisit after a few lessons to see how much your spatial thinking has developed.
So you did show some good improvement with your line confidence but there is a lot of work to be done here. I'm not going to assign any more revisions for lesson one but confident linework is definitely something you need to work on during the 250 box challenge and during your warmups. Remember accuracy is not important right now. It doesn't matter if your line misses its mark slightly. It's way more important to be able to consistently get smooth confident linework. So keep using the dot method, ghosting your lines, and drawing from your shoulder. Just remember to not be too hung up on accuracy at this point as this is the real issue I'm seeing with your work. Good luck with the 250 box challenge.
