Looks good! But, if you can, try to make your start/end points a little smaller, and to be a little more conscious of the automatic reinforcing habit. Each line is drawn once, and only once.

As for the box challenge, you can submit your old one provided it’s done in ink. If you did it digitally, you’ll, unfortunately, have to do it over.

Either way, i'll be marking this lesson as complete, and sending you off to it.

Next Steps:

250 box challenge

This critique marks this lesson as complete.

Hi again, I just began with the 250 box challenge, and I have a question. Is there a problem if the lines are crossing each other? In the picture, one of the boxes in the top right corner is left unfinished on purpose to see how it looks. https://imgur.com/a/Zi07zbz

Overshooting them past the end point, you mean? It’s only a problem if it doesn’t improve throughout the challenge. Little by little, try to reel it back.

The 250 Box Challenge is done. I Uploaded the images on a different website this time because Imgur didn't work. https://zippyimage.com/album/250-box-challenge.iqcS

A lot of my students use these. The last time I used them was when I was in high school, and at the time I felt that they dried out pretty quickly, though I may have simply been mishandling them. As with all pens, make sure you're capping them when they're not in use, and try not to apply too much pressure. You really only need to be touching the page, not mashing your pen into it.

In terms of line weight, the sizes are pretty weird. 08 corresponds to 0.5mm, which is what I recommend for the drawabox lessons, whereas 05 corresponds to 0.45mm, which is pretty close and can also be used.
