Hi again, I have completed 20 boxes with 3 vanishing points for first 10.

Unfortunately it seems that you are not understanding what is being asked, but you're not asking questions either to clarify any confusion you may have.
I am asking you to place actual vanishing points - the dots themselves - on the page for the first 10, so that you can see the specific point to which you are meant to converge your lines. If this is not clear, or doesn't make sense, please ask for clarification.
Again - for those first 10, draw the vanishing points on the page itself. This will force much more dramatic convergence for your edges, but it'll also help you get more used to the idea of keeping those convergences consistent.
Please ask for clarification if you still require it, otherwise try the 20 again. If however you are not able to follow those instructions, we may need to consider that there may be some communication or understanding issue that we are not able to address.
Next Steps:
Ask any questions you may have and then 20 more boxes please.

I'm sorry, may I get clarification for this.

What Tofu is asking you to do for the first 10 boxes is to start by placing the actual vanishing points on the page, as actual dots, then as you add each line to define your box, actually have it converge towards one of these three dots. While this will basically give you no choice but to draw boxes with very dramatic, rapid convergences (since the vanishing points will be right on the page and not far off the edges of the page), it will help you focus more directly on how your lines are converging.
Then for the other 10, you'll draw your boxes as usual (without actually drawing the vanishing points on the page, which will allow you to choose between shallower foreshortening where the vanishing points are far away and dramatic foreshortening where the vanishing points are closer), while retaining that focus on how your lines are converging with one another.

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.
