Looks good! Though not all of the lines that need to be fully perpendicular to the horizon are, I feel like that's as a result of some general, understandable sloppiness, than a misunderstanding of the concept. (If there are any doubts, though: that third VP is at infinity (or, close enough to it, that it's safe to treat it as if it is) so those lines are all parallel. Since they're heading straight up, this makes them perpendicular to the horizon.) Anyway, feel free to move on~

thanks for the critique and reply but I'm still confused about the lines being perpendicular. Does it mean to make sure the lines that are coming from the horizon cross the vertical lines which are coming from the third vanishing point that isnt visible?

Not the lines that are coming from the horizon, the horizon itself. Here it is, on one of your frames: https://imgur.com/a/aQeHAdX The horizon is in blue, and the correction lines are in red. Notice how they intersect the horizon line at a right angle? The reasoning for it is explained here: https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/6/infinity I hope this clears it up~

Thanks for the clarification. I see what mistakes I made and I'll know to hold my ruler straighter so the third vp will always go to infinity.

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.
