Hello: Took a bit of a spring break but back at it now. Thanks for the great critique. Here are my remedial boxes, hope they are correct the spring break seems to have made me forget a few things. Time to start drawing boxes again to get back in the game. Here is link, not sure if I have to share as well as provide link let me know. Thanks

It looks like you did forget a few things when working on these boxes. As I can see many of your sets of lines are diverging, likely due to you trying to keep your sets of lines purposefully parallel on the 2d page.
I recommend that you go back and reread the lesson material in it's entirety and the critique I wrote previously.
Once you have done that I will need to you draw 15 additional boxes showing your sets of lines converging towards their shared vanishing points.
I would also like to point out that your work looks a bit rushed in some areas and your mark making is not looking very confident. You should reread this section as well and maybe do a few warm ups from lesson one to bring you back up to speed from your warm ups.
Next Steps:
15 Additional boxes as described in the critique.
Let's be real here for a second: fineliners can get pricey. It varies from brand to brand, store to store, and country to country, but good fineliners like the Staedtler Pigment Liner (my personal brand favourite) can cost an arm and a leg. I remember finding them being sold individually at a Michael's for $4-$5 each. That's highway robbery right there.
Now, we're not a big company ourselves or anything, but we have been in a position to periodically import large batches of pens that we've sourced ourselves - using the wholesale route to keep costs down, and then to split the savings between getting pens to you for cheaper, and setting some aside to one day produce our own.
These pens are each hand-tested (on a little card we include in the package) to avoid sending out any duds (another problem with pens sold in stores). We also checked out a handful of different options before settling on this supplier - mainly looking for pens that were as close to the Staedtler Pigment Liner. If I'm being honest, I think these might even perform a little better, at least for our use case in this course.
We've also tested their longevity. We've found that if we're reasonably gentle with them, we can get through all of Lesson 1, and halfway through the box challenge. We actually had ScyllaStew test them while recording realtime videos of her working through the lesson work, which you can check out here, along with a variety of reviews of other brands.
Now, I will say this - we're only really in a position to make this an attractive offer for those in the continental United States (where we can offer shipping for free). We do ship internationally, but between the shipping prices and shipping times, it's probably not the best offer you can find - though this may depend. We also straight up can't ship to the UK, thanks to some fairly new restrictions they've put into place relating to their Brexit transition. I know that's a bummer - I'm Canadian myself - but hopefully one day we can expand things more meaningfully to the rest of the world.
