Thank you for your critique. You mention to keep practising in the next steps section. Does that mean I should redo some of the exercises that I wasn't so good on and only then move on to the 250 box challenge?
You don't need top resubmit anything, but it might be worth incorporating some of these drills into your regular warmups, or paying extra attention to linework principles while you work on the 250 Box Challenge. You'll have no shortage of lines to draw on this course, so you should use them as a chance to drill the principles of markmaking into yourself; it's easier to form good habits than to break bad ones.
This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.
When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.
Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
