Hey!
Well done on all the boxes and the progress!
I can see you've had some trouble with the vanishing points and placing the back corner. Make sure you stay conscious of those whenever you move along with practicing boxes. You have quite a variety of boxes too, good going!
My main critique will be about the placement of the objects. You have drawn too many boxes on one page. I think the maximum that you should squeeze on a page is 5, and making sure they're all big enough and not too close to the edge. It's easier to analyse what you need to work on if you draw a bit bigger and if there's less on a page, when there's not a mess of lines going over eachother and other boxes.
You should try practicing a couple of more pages of boxes during lesson 2, but I will not give this as something you need to revise. Please do post any spare pages you make for critique on the Discord server or let others know if you're still having trouble with figuring out any aspect!
Next Steps:
move onto lesson 2

Thank you very much for the reply!
I'll keep what you said in mind and practise in-between lessons.

How to Draw by Scott Robertson
When it comes to technical drawing, there's no one better than Scott Robertson. I regularly use this book as a reference when eyeballing my perspective just won't cut it anymore. Need to figure out exactly how to rotate an object in 3D space? How to project a shape in perspective? Look no further.
