Hi there! You've done a p good attempt overall. Lines are clean, you're doing a good job applying hatching and you're applying the ghosting well too.
The main thing is that you've mostly focused on extreme perspective boxes and didn't draw many shallow perspective boxes. And the shallow perspective boxes that you drew I have a feeling that you were trying to make lines parallel and not converge, because they have a tendency to be parallel or diverge. All sets of parallel lines in reality (and not after being affected by perspective or being in a drawing) have to converge and get closer together, so they can't get away or be parallel.
Here's a step by step tutorial on how to draw a box with converging lines, so if you're confused about it give it a try.
Before moving on I want to amke suire you know how to draw shallow perspective boxes, as they're suuuuper important, so give me 20 more boxes with shallow perspective, I know it's tough to do more boxes but good luck! You can do it! Feel free to ping me in discord or ask here if you got any questions.
Next Steps:
20 boxes

hello Elodon,
sorry for the really late reply i really got busy with other stuff. here is the revision you asked of me.
250 box challenge ( Revision) https://imgur.com/gallery/BpmFp6a
it was really hard to find a balance between dramatic boxes and the boxes whose line do not appear parallel. hope i did good. any critics?

Hello! Good attempt on the boxes!
But All those boxes have convergence super extreme. On shallow perspective boxes the lines should be close to parallel, and the vanishing points should be far away from the page, never in the same page. Here's one example of a shallow perspective box from one of your boxes
Next Steps:
-20 more boxes with shallow perspective

here. i tried more of these. few mistakes here and there. and if you see double lines then they are not me correcting my mistakes. those came because i was ghosting.

let me know what you think?

A lot of my students use these. The last time I used them was when I was in high school, and at the time I felt that they dried out pretty quickly, though I may have simply been mishandling them. As with all pens, make sure you're capping them when they're not in use, and try not to apply too much pressure. You really only need to be touching the page, not mashing your pen into it.
In terms of line weight, the sizes are pretty weird. 08 corresponds to 0.5mm, which is what I recommend for the drawabox lessons, whereas 05 corresponds to 0.45mm, which is pretty close and can also be used.
