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.

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

Hi! I just finished the 25 boxes you asked for. I'm kinda proud of theses ones, definitely feels the improvements. Some of them still have extend lines trouble, but at least I realized it. What do you think?

Definitely be more careful in regards to that, ye, but the convergences themselves are fine, so I’ll pass you onto Lesson 2. Congrats, and good luck!

PureRef

PureRef

This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.

When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.

Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
