It has to be said, there's just so much improvement that you experience throughout the entire challenge!
The earliest boxes all had nary a straight line to them, but as things went on, the lines got straighter and straighter. Likewise, your understanding of 3D space showed a marked improvement, with many of your later boxes having the unseen corner drawn much more reasonably than the earlier ones.
Just comparing the first page to the last page of your challenge shows how far you've come throughout the challenge. Great job!
A minor nitpick that I have is that your hatching lines aren't single, clean lines from one edge of the box to the other. Do be sure to use the ghosting method when drawing hatching lines and to follow through the entire box side.
Next Steps:
Keep up the good work! I think you're ready for lesson 2!
Thank you very much for the help.
This recommendation is really just for those of you who've reached lesson 6 and onwards.
I haven't found the actual brand you buy to matter much, so you may want to shop around. This one is a "master" template, which will give you a broad range of ellipse degrees and sizes (this one ranges between 0.25 inches and 1.5 inches), and is a good place to start. You may end up finding that this range limits the kinds of ellipses you draw, forcing you to work within those bounds, but it may still be worth it as full sets of ellipse guides can run you quite a bit more, simply due to the sizes and degrees that need to be covered.
No matter which brand of ellipse guide you decide to pick up, make sure they have little markings for the minor axes.
