There are some fundamental problems with your boxes. The sides tend to not align to the same vanishing point, and at times break the ">90 degree rule", i.e. the angles between the edges of the 3 planes facing the viewer should all be greater than 90 degrees. This was explained in lesson 1, I believe. I suspect you didn't do the 250 box challenge, or lesson 1. The markmaking is sort of off, but that shouldn't have been a problem since you're encouraged to use a ruler for this lesson. The form intersections do however show better markmaking and understanding of 3D space, but the ">90 degree rule" is something to be aware of.
Next Steps:
I'd suggest revisiting lesson 1-2 and doing the 250 box challenge.
Or, if by any chance you are being forced to do drawabox by your parents or likewise, don't. If this isn't what you want to do you should do what you enjoy instead.
Some of you may remember James Gurney's breathtaking work in the Dinotopia series. This is easily my favourite book on the topic of colour and light, and comes highly recommended by any artist worth their salt. While it speaks from the perspective of a traditional painter, the information in this book is invaluable for work in any medium.
