Most of the corrections look good, but the problem is that you still aren-t noticing some of the divergences.

The tutorial I showed you before can be applied to draw a box without divergences in any of the outer corners, so you need to make sure you apply it properly. Make sure you understand everything about the tutorial, and do one page in which the boxes don-t have outer divergences.

If you have any questions please ask them! good luck

Next Steps:

1 page with the boxes without outer divergences

Last ones you drew are better because they are at least converging in all the outer lines. The previous ones you sent most of the times always had a line that diverged! So that's progress.

Main thing is that the last two you sent are still very extreme perspective, so you need to learn to draw the boxes without divergences but with shallower perspective, so with the vanishing points farther away. So now try giving me a page of boxes with shallow perspective but using the method to make sure lines dont diverge, again if you dont understand something feel free to ask

Next Steps:

1 more page with no outer divergences and shallow perspectve boxes

I guess one question i have is by "outer lines" you mean the lines that form from the initial Y point?

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.
