Congrats on completing your first biggest challenge on DrawABox! I'll be critiquing your work.
Good job on maintaining subtle line quality, though not all boxes seem to have it. I do recommend not making your boxes too big, else you end up taking too much space for one sheet of paper.
Your lines are extended in the correct direction, which is good.
In some cases due to the exposure of the images, it's hard to see which extended lines are which due to barely being able to see the colored lines, but its doable.
Some boxes tend to diverge away from the vanishing point, but it's far and few in-between. Here's a more clear guide to making better convergences: https://imgur.com/3zoQA65 when you decide to use this challenge as a warm up.
Overall you have a decent foundation of what to do, and can begin Lesson 2.
Next Steps:
Keep on practicing boxes as warm ups and feel free to begin Lesson 2.

Thank you so much for the critique! really appreciate it.
Sorry for the images with the extended lines being hard to see, I captured those photos in a rather dark-lit place and tried to fix the lighting by editing them.
I'll heed your advices as I incorporate the boxes in my warm ups. Thanks again!

Proko's Figure Drawing Fundamentals
Stan Prokopenko's had been teaching figure drawing as far back as I can remember, even when I was just a regular student myself. It's safe to say that when it comes to figure drawing, his tutelage is among the best.
