Overall, the exercise looks good. Your lines are clean and confident, I don't see any wobbles or scratchiness, and you don't try to redraw any lines that are off. That is very good.
The biggest concern I have is the back lines of some of the boxes. Your inner corners often veer off the vanishing point and contradict the directions of the other lines. This is okay, the inner corners are very difficult to get right. The inner corner is effected by every other perspective mistake you make in a box.
The best way to rectify this is to really consider the relationship between the four lines that converge into the vanishing point, instead of thinking of them individually or in pairs. Every time you draw a line, you should consider the other three lines in the set, and how their angles relate to each other and how they all converge to one point. This diagram will help you with understand that.

The only other critique is that the angles of your boxes are all very similar. It can be difficult to add variety to your boxes, so you can use this diagram to get some Ideas on how to add variety to the angles of your boxes.
Next Steps:
I am going to request that you do an additional 50 boxes, and that you focus on two things when you draw these boxes:
-
The back corner needs to veer off less. To do this, focus on the relationship between the four lines. Consult the diagram often to try to get a sense for it. Don't be frustrated if it goes wrong, try your best, and be careful when you plot the point in the back. Practice it regularly and consult the diagram when you feel lost and eventually you will get it.
-
Add some more variety to the rotation of your boxes, use the diagram to get some ideas.
Bonus points: Try adding hatching to one of the sides facing you and adding thickness to the outlines of the boxes. This is good practice for later lessons, and makes them less confusing to understand at a quick glance. Remember that all lines, including the hatching lines and outlines, should be ghosted and drawn confidently and quickly.
I know its painful, but understanding these concepts will pay off, I can guarantee it. When you are done you can message me on discord at Now_Its_Orange#2800 and I will review the extra boxes or you can get someone else to approve it.
Keep pushing through! you can do it!
