Thanks for this good critique - I've done the 1 more page you've asked for, what do you think about it?

Looks good! The correction lines are all going in the correct direction, too- well done! Try to make the boxes a little bigger next time, though. Don’t worry if there’s enough space for your correction lines- there is.
Next Steps:
So, next, I’d like to see the same thing, but with shallow foreshortening. Mind you, in not saying no foreshortening. The lines should still be converging, even at a glance, just to a lesser extent. If you think back to the image I posted, you’re now drawing a box similar to the one on the right.

I added the shallow foreshortening page here. Thanks for taking all this time to guide me

Looks good! Though, again, be careful with the extension lines. They’re going away from the viewer, meaning into the page. A good way to check if they’re correct is to see if they form a Y shape. The ones in box 1, 2, and 5 do. The ones in box 3, and 4 do not. Go through that link I posted again, if you’re still confused about it.
Next Steps:
Now that your boxes are correct, I’d like to see 25 more of them, of random foreshortening. Take your time with each one, and don’t forget to reinforce the silhouette and hatch one of the front faces.

Color and Light by James Gurney
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.
