So to start, I saw at the beginning of the challenge you was Extending lines in the wrong direction, but by moving forward in the exercise I noticed that you had corrected this. Also, you were extending only one vanishing point at the beginning but you have corrected it. However, I saw that often your lines are diverging or are parallel so watch out!

Here is a link for that: https://imgur.com/mWLlnYl

To continue I noticed that sometimes you were messing with the face that was facing to you, be careful with that. As well as your hatching lines often goes beyond the face, be meticulous with them. I will mention that often you are adding lineweight at a place where it's useless and they are also wobbly. You should also get a little bit more of variety in your box.

And to conclude a last note is Inner corner, a way to improve them is to start thinking about the relationships between lines instead of just thinking about the lines in pairs. When drawing the lines of the boxes, the student should keep in mind all the other lines in the set, comparing their angles and making a guess based on them. This diagram explain this more clearly:

The diagram can be pretty hard to understand at first, so if you don't understand it, don't get frustrated, keep reading it from time to time while practicing regularly, and it will click eventually.

Next Steps:

I want you to do 10 box and try to apply and correct what I mention good luck.

I think that I will add some boxes to my warmup routine to help make me more patient when constructing them.

The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
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.
